I agree with Surfcastinglife.....I just catch and release.....they are just living their lives, I don't feel the need to torture them.  |

Agreed, we share this Planet, can't hurt to show a little respect. |

I put my foot on the tail and hold tight tight to the line. Then I grab from the top (behind the gills tightly), snip the barbs off and release them.
(sometimes with my gear down my throat, those bastages)

they're like rats or pigeons...and what is going on with their management. they seem to be everywhere but protected. i don't abuse them...but have thoughts of putting together a line of fishers to catch 'em, fillet them, fry them, and open a "fish and chips' concession on the beach....frustratin' !!!

I don't see any reason to purposefully kill ANY species that I'm not going to keep for the table.
|
Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

No,but it's showing another living thing a little respect.Beating them up for no reason other than just being mad you caught one is just ignorant. |

Now You Tell Me !
Couple of weeks ago the wife, boys and I caught 20 to 25 DogFish at 2KR out of Portsmouth Harbor along with Skates. Why didn't someone tell me about the spikes ? I didn't get spiked but I sure didn't let that tail slap around either. Holding it by tail and just behind the gills I let someone pull the hook out and put the little dirt bags back into the ocean.

No, I'd just rather not see the ecosystem destroyed any further.
But I suppose you think the exploratory drilling out on georges bank is a good idea too?
Thank the reps for slipping that one in the door. |
