Nice post Wolfman.

We try.

Up until this time I thought you were human, like the rest of us
caricatures.

Caricatures aren't human. That's why they're called caricatures.

Say what you will. A 26' billboard of a lipless trout sponsored by the
popular movie or rock star will certainly capture the attention of a
whole lot of urbanites, wouldn't you have to agree?

Refresh my memory.....who is the popular movie or rock star?

At any rate, if that billboard keeps shrinking at its current rate (10 feet
in the past 34 hours) I'll be greatly surprised if it captures much of
anything beyond next Tuesday or thereabouts. Damage control shouldn't prove
to be too taxing.

I'm not sure that I agree that "fishing strikes a powerful atavistic
chord in the human psyche" is justification enough to warrant pure
catch and release fishing.

Do I look like someone so bereft of things to do or think about that I would
resort to a concern for what you agree with?

Sex too strikes a powerful atavistic chord
but we can't hump everything that moves.

An interesting observation coming from one who gets humped by everything
that moves.

I do believe that it much more
difficult to argue the morality of subsistence fishing or fishing when
it benefits the health of the fishery, a la the basics of hunting
management, and I struggle with the dogma held on to by the C&R
contingent to ignore this fact.

Your struggles are the stuff of legends. Not that I suppose it will do any
good, but I'd feel that I failed in a civic responsibility if I neglected to
suggest that your struggles might be eased somewhat if you were to spend
some time examining questions rather than dealing exclusively with trying to
justify a monomaniacal adherence to answers apropos of nothing in
particular.

On the other hand, medication is a lot simpler.
