Ban college fishing club

I've actually had a guy standing on a dock before telling me that I
was a fish killer because I had caught a few bass and was planning on
taking them home to eat. As a huge supporter of the sportfishing
community I take catch & release very seriously but I also feel
that if a sportsmen wants to take some of his catch home to eat then
that is his god given right and no one has a right to say anything
about it. There are way to many environmentalist whackos running
around out there that think they are environmentalists yet have no
idea what they are talking about. Take the case, for many many years
the U.S. Forest service thought that protecting our national forests
from fires was the right thing to do, now it turns out it was the
worst thing to do because there is so much vegetation build up it is
making all our forests susceptible to major damage. I think when god
designed this planet he knew what he was doing and natural fires,
floods, etc. all play an important role in keeping the balance. Its
when humans move into areas and all of a sudden we want to change
things so it suits our needs better that we upset nature. Catching
fish, or hunting game, have been around for as long as man has walked
the earth, and who says that any one group of people has a right to
change it.

I have found sportmen /women to actually be more environmentally conscious
than the extremist PETA wingnuts.
Who would be more concerned about the survival of sport species... the
stoner on shore recouping from his hangover with his moms SUV blaring MTV on
the onboard TV screen that has never been off the paved road. Who also, once
done yelling at you from shore, will be running to the mall to buy more
patchouli and ANYTHING in a brown wrapper or made from hemp.

OR

The guy/gal who loves the sport and wants future generations to enjoy the
same sports and appreciation of outdoors and what it all means to be part of
it. The person who thinks about wildlife daily and supports its conservation
through park passes and legal liscences, rod/gun club memberships and NRA
dues.

I say your right. If the fish looks tasty... keep it. I personally would
have had a hard time restraining my instant tourettes syndrome that forces
me to fling fish innards toward shore at random. *snicker*

I'm not sure I could have left the scene quietly.

I resent you putting stoners in a class with PETAs. I've known many
stoners and most are cool and mellow. Not generally more sensible
than PETAs, but much nicer to be around.

heheh so true I would so much rather be fishing with stoners than PETA
maniacs.

you know... come to think of it, maybe the PETA nazis could use a little
stoning to mellow them out.
Maybe I could mail PETA HQ some all natural "gifts" from my doggy.
