The fish signed non-disclosure agreementsI want to see the follow-up interviews with the fish, then.

I find the idea of fishing without the eating a bit strange. It's basically 'Let's go and hurt some fish for a laugh'. I only recently discovered that there was such a thing - I had assumed that the whole point of fishing was to catch something for your supper. That would be the rewarding bit for me - it would give the activity a point.I watch the programme and like the chat. It makes me laugh. But I'm a bit conflicted about this part of it.
I became a vegetarian because of fishing. My grandad used to take me fishing, and it was that exposure, as a child, to the relationship between humans and prey that convinced me I didn't want to eat prey. And yet I do kind of think it's worse to catch and release. I have more respect for carnivores who are relaxed about where their food comes from.

That's like saying mountaineering is pointless because you can't take the mountain home with you.I find the idea of fishing without the eating a bit strange.

Not really. You don't hurt a mountain by climbing it.That's like saying mountaineering is pointless because you can't take the mountain home with you.
But climbing it is the point of climbing it. Catching fish is the point of fishing.Not really. You don't hurt a mountain by climbing it.
Climbing has no particular point other than for itself, but doing so doesn't hurt other things. Fishing has no particular point other than for itself unless you then eat what you catch, and doing so does hurt other things. The fact you're causing hurt changes the equation wrt doing it for itself, imo. I think the same about any kind of hunting. I don't think your comparison works at all, and you appear to have completely missed my point. I don't expect you to agree with me, but I also don't think your comparison is valid.But climbing it is the point of climbing it. Catching fish is the point of fishing.

It was a massive thing when I was a kid. Going fishing with an adult for the first time. It was like a rite of passage, where you were suddenly no longer a child.Fishing was always part of growing up for me in WC neighbourhoods- it was a way for the men to get away from the grime and shit and coal dust for a day and keep off the drink- but the fishing was something to look forward to that got people out of the city and into another world.All my uncles fished at the weekends, all 8 of them got the fuck out of the factories and shipyards for a day on the lochs.
