Catch and release is weird to me. It violates the aesthetic IMHO.

I'll have to tell my parents that, the next time they take the floating sofa up to the lake and hook some 5" bluegills and six ounce sunfish with the grandchildren.  Better gut those little fuckers.  No, just the fish.

Almost as interesting as reading "NFL Week 1".  From 2009.

An interesting turn about.  Previously you were against banning foie gras and could not reconcile it with your other beliefs.  You simply said you were not perfect.  Fish do in fact feel pain.  This has been demonstrated in the lab.  If we are so against animal cruelty then we ought to ban recreational fishing which involves impaling the mouth of a fish on hook.  If we are interested in simply harassing minorities, then that really isn't a problem.

do you have a cite? I was under the impression the evidence only concludes fish react to injury, but we don't know whether they actually feel pain -- except for "bony fish," evidence suggests they might not because they lack the necessary components that allow humans to feel pain.

Bony fish are the most common type of fish, the ones you are by far most likely to catch with a rod and reel.

My ideal fishing: floating in the middle of the lake on my kayak pretending to fish, sometimes I don't even put bait on my hook as actual catching of fish would involve too much work.
