I understand your sentiments. It is interesting to note that while the number of skishers along the coast is very low, the number of spearfishermen is not. Spear fishing is very popular, not only in every coastal state in the US, but all around the world. Spear fishermen collectively spend WAY more time in the water, many of them swim with sharks on an almost daily basis while spearing fish, which I believe is a much bloodier proposition than catch and release with rod/reel/hook tackle. When is the last time you heard of a spearfisherman being killed by a shark? It has happened, but it is VERY rare and the odds are MUCH higher than with skishing.
