You're not making sense. The only difference between C&R and

I've demonstrated the fallacy of this argument 100 times.
LOL !! Yet another crackpot claim.
Look at it
this way. I fish 4 times a year. I kill 2 each time. That means I've
killed 8 fish. Contrast that to the angler who fishes 50 times and
averages 20 fish an outing.
Why not contrast 4 times a year with 4 times a year or 50 times
a year with 50 times a year ? You don't make sense.

Because that would ignore the statistics.
The vast majority of licensed anglers fish less than that, once or
twice a year....and they're really not very good at it. When I lived
in a tourist area people were shocked to learn that I caught fish
period but would be shocked to know how many. They fish all weekend by
the campground and don't catch anything. That is the average,
statistical, license holder. Flyfishermen, statistically, fish more
days, longer and are more effective.
