Bull****.

One can disagree with Tim's position but you're wrong in stating that he
doesn't have a coherent argument, merely ad hominens and double talk.

There is nothing but hypocrisy and double talk in his
so-called "position". C&R is a fishery management tool,
not the only one, but a valid one for some fisheries.
C&R is not the end of the world as we know it or a slippery
slope towards fish as golf balls. It's just one tool among
several to achieve what all of us should want, namely healthy
fisheries.

His argument is VERY coherent and simple - it is wrong to stress,
injure, kill etc, a fish simply for one's pleasure.

If that's his argument then he is a hypocrite for going
fishing at all and I'll be goddamned if I'm going to let
some crackpot trot out the holier-than-thou ad hominems
against fishermen on a fly fishing newsgroup.

To be clear Ken. I am a damned hypocrite on this issue. I know that
it's wrong to stress a wild animal for pleasure but, dude, I'm hooked.
I guess I view the laws and prevailing attitude as "enablers for my
addiction".

Feel free to use the "I am a damned hypocrite" anywhere you like, even
out of context. From my perspective, we all are.

Your pal,
