I wrote this before I saw the below post from you:

I'm talking about honoring fish as prey, which is somewhat strange
I suppose in that I don't actually plan to eat them, just fool
them with fur and feathers.


Glad you agree.


That's almost clever, have you been taking Wolfgang lessons ? ;-)

But no, we don't agree at all. Read rw's response, he made your
argument for you and he made it more lucidly.


Although I agree with RW's post, it doesn't address the point I was making.

My point is that I think you're delusional if you think the way YOU
practice fly fishing is somehow more "proper" "respectful" and
"honorable" than some others when YOUR practices can result in more
stress for the fish (as even you stated in one of your posts).

See, there you go again. Why would you presume to speak
for anyone here other than yourself ? Are you such a
Usenet psychopath that you cannot post your nasty insults
here without the support of a circle jerk ?

Here's news for you Wolfie, even though you have a large
audience, you're masturbating all by your little lonesome.



I guess I'm a member of his circle jerk group on this one.

No he says he does it because it's "proper"

And I think his definition of proper is that he thinks it makes him look cool.

I try to honor the fish, which would generally mean bonking them
on the head and eating their flesh while thanking the fish spirit
for sustenance. In terms of catch and release, I try to honor the
fish by catching them properly, with respect, and releasing them
them same way. For me, catching them properly means getting them
on the reel.

YMMV.



That all sounds very cute.


"properly" another strange word.


I'm not sure how putting the fish on the reel if it results in taking
longer to land it fits in with "honor the fish" and treating them "with
respect." Sounds to me that it's just somehow more satisfying to YOU or
somehow fits in with some image you have of YOURSELF. (Which is fine with
me but calling it "proper" and "honorable" ???????)

Some of us can but, as those who have met him will attest, that Willi
is just plain MEAN. :(

Kennie has had a lot of time to get used to the fact that he is the
only honorable man left in fly fishing. Even the evil Willi no longer
has much effect on him.

I wouldn't get too worked up over it if I was you.

I don't think Willi is MEAN, I think he must buy his underwear
two sizes too small and it causes him to squeal a lot.
