Motion to Ban

I always enjoy a good big fish killing discussion. Especially hearing from those who have been there and back again over the years.

If you really want to preserve the fishery, go hookless. If the excitment of the fish hitting the plug and knowing that you could have caught have caught the fish (if you had hooks on the lure) is not enough for you, then you're not a true sportsman.

i respectfully disagree. but this thread although inevitably will go there is not about arguing the point.

there is much more to fishing than just a fish hitting the plug.

Joe, the fish could still get hurt hitting the plug, and that is just plain mean. I think this year I'm going to wade out to my favorite rock and visualize casting, hooking and fighting fish. Actually, that will leave too much of a carbon footprint, thus destroying the environment and negatively effecting fish. I guess I'll sit at home with all the lights off and just think about fishing.
