It's morbid curiosity about just how people claiming to be participants in
a quiet contemplative sort of sport can be so down right nasty to each
other, cutting away what common ground they might have in favor of
whatever differences about which they can disagreeably disagree.

How can you call it a quiet, contemplative sport, when the main purpose is
to stick a piece of barbed steel in some poor dumb animal and pull it to you
against it's will?

"Barbed?" BARBED?! And besides, your description sounds more like
ROFF...I'm pretty sure that for most, the main purpose of fishing
(rather than catching) is to provide an excuse for buying lots of
expensive stuff and going and getting drunk in the woods...

Even a barbless hook ic designed to bury the steel in to the fish. Do not
talk about the cost of fishing. I own a river jet boat.
