Goat, there's a lot more to it than you might think. For example, when I go out fishing in a boat I have to choose the right stick thing to hold the cranker with the string. Then there's the string itself, the pointy metal thing on the end. Then after you put the meat or whatever on the pointy thing and let it way down where the fish are you have to be ready for a tug on the thing --- that's when you want to be sure there's a jerk on your end.


What? This is how I fish. Someone has a problem with this? I don't get it... ;D

Let's look at the numbers. If we assume 2 fish every 5 days during the main season which probably lasts 4 months that equals 160 fish caught, drug up on the deck, photographed, and then thrown back in the water. At least 80-100 of those fish are going to die. It would seem to be more honest to just go ahead and kill them and give the meat to people who could use it.


Yea, in 1985 when 50+% of men smoked the death rate for white males was 9.9 / 100k from lung cancer. Today with less then 20% of whit males smoking the death rate is 9.1 / 100k and the health experts say the reason it hasn't dropped proportionality is the DISCOVERY of second hand smoke.

So, if the survival rate of fish brought on board prior to release remains at around 50% as claimed and fewer fish are being caught what can that be blamed on? Statistics are in the eye of the beholder.


dude,
you gotta quit getting your tobacco stats from the phillip morris website! look at CDC studies, they show year after year declined in lung cancer rates over past few decades.

Those numbers come from the National Cancer institute:




and the DEATH RATE for White Males only declined by 0.8 % since 1985. For women and persons of other ethnic backgrounds it has increased.
