South East Fishing Trip.

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

How does the big boy thing hold up with sustainability?

 

If it were a necessity surely commercial fishing would have maximum return sizes rather than minimum

 

Sounds to me like it’s more about trophy and ignore the suffering.

 

big fish carry more eggs, fact.

big fish carry more eggs, fact.

 

You said big BOY, still sounds trophy to me

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

You said big BOY, still sounds trophy to me

 

oh im soooo sorry I should to be politicaly correct have said big boy and girl genes!

 

either way, you know I am right.

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

as for fishing being cruel, fish nervous systems are almost entirely located in the lateral line and NOT in thier mouths, fish use thier mouths to eat live prey, all sorts of beasties, think about it.

 

then read up a bit about fish biology and pay atention to the sensory pits and lateral line.

 

then you can tell me that fish feel great pain from a hook, which they pull incredibly hard against i might add! have you ever gotten somebody via a pressure point? they will not pull away but submit immidietly. FACT
