Nice story: visitors don't usually appreciate how much effort it is to host a trip on the water.
FWIW, when relatives don't understand fishing "catch and release", I compare it to bowling. The conversation usually goes like this:
[mom]: I don't understand why you fish for fish that you don't plan to keep and eat. It seems like a waste of time.
[me]: Hey mom, have you ever gone bowling?
[mom]: Sure I have, I was pretty good too. One time...(long story about one of her better strings)
[me]: Did they let you keep the pins?
[mom]: (just looks at me and doesn't bring up C&R again)
