"The anglers, assisted by a stalwart group of Duranglers guides,
caught, measured and released 604 fish during the tourney. The
Chiliheads, better known as Matt Arias, Beatle Abshagen, Shane Voss and
Craig Deeds, won the tournament with 1,503 total points. The Stockers
(Max Scholfield, Yandel Bean, B.K. Bower and Bob Sagle) came in second
at 991 points, with the Lost Boys (Ty Brown, Bill Brown, Dale Smith and
Don Freemeyer) just a hookup behind with 981."

Given a mortality around 5% this is over 30 fish that were killed by
this competition.

So? If the 12 guys mentioned had taken a limit of 4 fish a piece (reg. on
NC wild trout waters, Pisgah National Forest Game Lands included), there
would have been 48 dead trout! I Have a sinkin' feelin' that there were a
good many more people involved in the overall tournament.

Meals for 48 people instead of 0 as well as freeing up the stream to be
wild.

So you don't *really* care about the mortality rate or conservation, you
just care about them as a food source?

Not at all. It's just that the ethical sportsman and the law agree that
wasting game meat is a criminal offense. If we fish for and kill an
animal we have an obligation to use the meat. This is the first thing a
hunter or fisherman learns but they, apparently, don't even teach this
anymore. Using animals for food is another story and one that has
biblical ramifications. A much, much more difficult discussion will
ensue when we go there, but it's readily apparent that pure catch and
release fishing is hardly defensible as much as people 'rationalize'
it.
