Kittens, I LOVE kittens, Espically when they are lightly breaded and deep fried

yeah, tender.. but their ribs are very small... hard to hold

those activists have a point that catch and release fishing is morally wrong.

Its like going to the nearest kennel and start choppin' dog tails left and right with a machete and call it a relaxing sport.

When I fish I fish to eat what I catch. If I catch 10 trout in 1 day I sure as heck will freeze and eat them in the coming weeks. The little ones I deep fry.

But to just go into a lake to "hook" fish is a distasteful "sport" in my opinion.

On the other hand, those animal activists sure get out of control with their fanatism, which is why no one pays attention to them until they sit in front of heavy machinery or threaten to crash their rubber zodiacs into 150 ton whaling ships

I guess I'm distasteful then. I fish for sport, and I rarely keep anything I catch. I hardly think that chopping off dogs' tails would be as relaxing as lounging by/on a lake with your pole in the water, but I'm willing to try anything once. I'll let you know how it turns out!

SOB, its actually more relaxing to find the nearest activist protest, grab that baseball bat, and do drive-by-whackin' .

Or, what if I combine that into my fishing hobby. I could bait a big hook with some tofu or wheat grass, and toss it in the middle of a PETA convention!

On second thought, those scrawny vegans wouldn't put up much of a fight. Might as well just fish for minnows.

Anybody who has ever filleted a live fish knows they feel pain just by thier reaction to the knife cutting through thier meat. Yeah it must really suck for the fish to have that happen. I've often seen them still moving in the trash can 15 min after I cut 90% of the muscle off thier bodies. Worst part for them must be not being able to close their eyes and having to watch the whole thing. "They" say bass have the same type of eyesight as humans and can see just as well in or out of water. THAT"S GOTTA SUCK!

Dang I want to go fish'n. And I keep what I catch if I don't have meat in the freez. Otherwise it's catch and release to make more fish....

Life is short, hungry, and usually ends abruptly and horribly for fish. Fish understand this and live with it. Whether a mad fisherman clubs him to death or whether some bigger fish comes along and chews him up...it makes no difference to fish.

Trout trauma is nothing compared to the "wheat willies" that entire generations of wheat feel as the combine approaches.

They must really hate it when I get em through the eye.
Imagine the pressure these egg heads feel to do a report on something.
lol
As to catch and release. Hell yes I release em. I want to hurt em again when they have put on a few pounds. Only ones I keep are the ones that took the hook too hard or that just straight tired themselves so much I dont think they will make it.
I dont care if that is cruel I want to catch em again.
If I was into cliping dogs tails I would clip them a bit at a time so that there was allways a few arround to clip. Imagine how mean those dogs would be when you walked up to them the third time!
thats good sport baby

I hope you guys aren't eating fish out of major rivers. The river systems in the U.S. are very polluted. In my county in Kentucky, there is no public water that is clean enough to SWIM in. Fish all have high levels of mercury and some 3 letter chemical in them.

Yeah, most of the lakes in East Texas are like that

There's advisories out not to eat more than 2.5 lbs of Bass in a month. Not all fish keep the mercury in thierr systems like bass do. Catfish don't I believe...
