Geez, let me see ... get a speargun, shoot a striper, oh and call it fishing.
Where is the sport in this?
It's like being at the arcade at the mall on one of the games they have there, only you shoot sharks ... not ferocious and deadly stripers.
Real sporting of the guy to give the striper a fighting chance, guess we're all doing it the wrong way guys.
I think I'll take my chances and enjoy the fight the right way (rod & reel) when and if I ever get into something that big.
This guy should be great at the local turkey farm for Thanksgiving, he can pick his turkey the same way he picked the striper.
Real sporting ...not!   |
Insanity is a long and winding road ... I think I finally made it there.

Teaser, how is this any different from hunting deer, bear, turkey, or any other animal one would hunt and shoot shoot? Have you ever been out there in a wetsuit diving? My guess is that you ahve not after your assisnine response.
Anyway, congrats to the hunter/fisherman.

I'm with Tlap on this one.
Which fish "suffers" more the speared one or the one hooked on rod/reel?
Which deer "suffers" more the one shot with a wooden/aluminum shaft or a 30/06 round to the skull?
Sorry teaser but you need to re-evaluate the way you view nature,fishing and definitely about the food you consume.Simply put you got it way wrong.

gonna have to agree with tlap and bw on this one. notice, he was not SCUBA diving, he was free diving... SCUBA would definately be a little unfair to the fish, but still, no different than hunting deer, IMO.

To answer you're question, yes I have been out there in a wet suit, I dive alot off Cuttyhunk.
I do not hunt nor do I have any interest in it, I never found it all that exilerating to kill an animal that I am not going to eat.
And before you say or think it I'm not a tree hugger or a member of P.E.T.A.
I fish for enjoyment not profit, I don't knock anyone who does it for a living nor do I take aim at guides for hunting, everyone has to make a living.
I just stated my "opinion" which I believe I am entitled to as everyone else, so before you get heated as it seems so easy to do on this site lately, whether you agree or not it doesn't matter to me, it was meant as that ... just my opinion on the subject. |

"I think I'll take my chance and enjoy the fight the right way(rod&reel)"............
Why is rod/reel the "right way"?
If you think spearing and bringing in a big fish is even slightly easy.........

I think T-Lap and I and a few others discussed this subject awhile back.....I must agree with T-Lap as it is just as sporting as fishing rod and reel imo....its not my way but I can relate with someone who chooses this as their sport just as hunting is not for me but I find it fascinating and do understand how folks enjoy the sport. Man must put food on the table....this is just one more way to do so.....as long as it is done correctly and the fish is consumed I have no issue with it.
Teaser is also entitled to his opinion though perhaps a bit hair triggered with it I understand where he is coming from.

Almost time to get our fish on!!!
