I've never "got" fishing, really. Unless you eat it of course.

Give a man a fish and his family will eat for a day.
Give me a fish and I'll run away and eat it all myself.
I'm coming around to agree with you.

As a young man, I was interested in both hunting and fishing.
Then, hunting faded and I stayed interesting in fishing a long time.
More recently, my in fishing is fading away also.

My reasons have been:
If the hunter/fisherman says we are good for environment
because we want to protect the game for our sport,
then why do we target the biggest and best of the local species,
and pass by the smaller ones, or take more than we can eat. ?

... sort of like growing zucchini in PDX... there's so much you can't give it away.
