Part II. What about the incident mortality in all the fish you release

Unfortunate but unavoidable. Happens all the time in nature.
Ah yes, *now* we're getting somewhere. See what happens when
you answer the questions honestly Socrates ?

As I understand it your position is this: Intent is everything.
That is, if it's your intent to keep a fish for the pan then
C&R is OK whether you actually catch a legal fish or not. The
incidental death caused by C&R is unfortunate but unavoidable.

On the other hand, if it's your intent to release all the fish
you catch then the incidental death caused by C&R is the wanton
killing of wildlife and you have no "spank" of conscience.

That's the most twisted interpretation of what I said conceivable. No
critically thinking person would agree with it.

No, it's not a twisted interpretation of your position it
is a clearly stated reiteration of your own twisted religion.

But you're right about one thing, nobody in their right mind
would agree with it.
