If there's any rhetoric here it's that responsibility as a rec is to keep what you can eat...rather than keeping fish simply because you want to impress somebody else or perhaps your self. And that the commercial harvest isn't sustainable under most circumstances.
For another fisherman to play the "all fishing is killing" card a on a fishing website is patently hypocritical...it shows you're just trying to provoke somebody with a hell of a lot more fishing wisdom than you in an otherwise serious thread...perhaps it's just placing a spotlight on your lack of maturity.
As someone who appears to regard themselves as a "conservative" I would have wagered you'd place more value in the tried and true experience of those before them.
