Default Catch and Release Hurts our Quality of Life

Tim, why are you so singleminded about C&R? What do you hope to accomplish?


Because I think fishing should not reduce a wild animal to the status
of golf ball. Because I would like to heighten people's awareness of
the fact that the fish is a wonderful wild animal that is fighting for
its life every day and that we should never, ever take that for
granted. Because I would like to retain the heritage of the fisherman.
Because I like to eat trout when I'm camping. Because I think pure C&R
is an easy target for animal rights groups and that it probably should
be. The last bit I want to understand and learn about and explore as
much as possible because it is interesting and a worthy goal.
