Dishonorable. And unethical.

Why?

Ask 40.

There is honor is doing things right, and **FOR ME** putting the
fish on the reel is doing fly fishing right. You hardly ever know
which fish is going to be good size and which is not so it's good
practice to use proper technique every time. Part of proper
technique is never having more line outside the reel than you can
retrieve when you get a fish on. There is honor in doing things
right as opposed to half-assed and slapdash.

This attitude, or more accurately this attitude of *MINE*, caused
wee Willi Loehman to have one of his squealing hissy fits. In
other words, the usual roff hyperbole and nonsense. Bottom line,
Barnard's a putz and he's just trying to stir up old **** because
he's not creative, witty or smart enough to stir up any new ****
of his own.
