Listening to coldplay while not fishing?

…and it was all yellow….


perch, that is. Yellow perch!

Some of the best table fare around.

As an animal lover you don't find that cruel?

It’s ok to eat fish, cuz they don’t have any feelings.

What’s NOT ok tho, apparently, is to put naked babies on your album cover.

Would it help to rephrase “fishing” to something more along the lines of “drinking about 15 beers?”

I should have noted - I do very much like ice fishing. In which there is no fishing, and all beer-drinking. 15 by lunch.

What if i was catching and releasing turtles by hooking them? Still all good?

cuz turtles are basically fish?

quit being dumb

I’ve hooked more than a few turtles while fishing. Bullfrogs and snakes too.

I’ll unhook and release, just like any other creature. Except for snapping turtles. Don’t wanna loose a finger, I’m just cutting the line for them

not that contrarians care, but responsible anglers do things like limit excess time the animal is out of the water (or even struggling in the water), use barb-less hooks, etc.

also, HUGE differences in the anatomy (and related pain receptors) of a fish mouth versus any of those higher vertebrates that Ousie referenced

Yeah.

When I was guiding, if a client wanted to photo for the gram, I would tell them as soon as you lift the fish outta the net, take a deep breath and hold it. If you need to catch your breath, it’s time to put the fish back, cuz they need oxygen too

kids in particular loved it. I have a pic somewhere of one little guy holding a nice trout with his cheeks all puffed up

You can catch them can't you?

What is the difference? Unless you're eating the catch/kill then it's purely for sport.

Turtles and fish are both animals. So yes. They're basically the same.

I am not annoyed at all, actually. I think this is absolutely hilarious. You just called me a broken record in back to back posts....totally oblivious.

This is too easy.

Man you guys are trolling so hard.

It’s usually inappropriate

but in this thread, at least, I suppose it’s on point.

Now try some downriggers. Maybe you can troll a little deeper!

Well at least we aren't doing childish things like posting pictures of women fishing who Trad says aren't capable of baiting their own hooks.
