Fishing

[benagain]

I love to fish. I'd go every weekend if the weather and other plans would let me. The only downside is if I go by myself I can keep anything I catch, but if I go with my wife, I have to put anything I catch back. She doesn't like to see them struggle. She says it makes her feel like shes suffocating. It makes me hungry :thumbsup:

benagain Reviewed by benagain on 02-26-2006. Fishing Me and my lil bro decided to dust off the rods and go for a fish where our old man used to take us when we were kids. I hadn't been fishing for a good six,seven years. So off to the fishing shop for maggots.I'd forgotten about those nasty lil buggers! To cut along story short I caught nothing but a cold. It was bloody freezin! Think it's too cold for em to be biting! Ahh..well was cool reminising with my bro and doing the bonding thang. We're gonna go when it's abit warmer. Are there many Rating: 5

According to the dictionary you are evil (evil is the antithesis of good in all its principal senses, in the widest sense, evil is that which is the reverse of good, whatever is censurable, mischievous, or undesirable, morally depraved, bad, wicked, vicious; doing or tending to do harm, hurtful, mischievous, prejudicial, depraved intention or purpose, desire for anotherâ??s harm, causing discomfort, pain, or trouble, unpleasant, offensive, disagreeable, troublesome, painful. ...) AND a jerk. (In slang, the term "jerk" can be used to describe a foolish, rude, immature, stupid, or contemptible person. This word was originated with the "jerkwater" towns of mid 19th century America, the pit stops the old steam engine trains needed to make to "jerk" water to the train, to bring it from the river to the train. The term "jerkwater" came to represent any small, remote town. The term "jerk" was then derived from these towns to represent inferior, unimportant people. ...)
Ill be torturing you in hell

What would you suggest we eat then? Plants are alive as well and have to be killed to be eaten. Following this line of reasoning there is almost nothing we can eat. We are omnivores...we have teeth(molars) that can chew plant matter and teeth(insicors) that are made for tearing meat.

Now don't go calling him/her an idiot for believing in the sanctity of life. I'm sure he/she knows that plants die too. What he may not be aware of is that all life is essentially equal in terms of it's right to live. It is our cultures and societies that determine what is ok to eat and what is not. Hence the reason that dog is eaten in asia but Hindu's won't eat beef and Muslims and Jews won't eat pork. It's all relative to the cultural and social mores that are ultimately the constructs of man.

I didn't call him/her an idiot for believing in the sanctity of life. Rather he/she came on this thread forcing their views on people for fishing.

I love to fish. I have some friends with a camp in central NH, it's 110 acres on a pond that doesn't allow gas powered watercraft. It's sooo peaceful and quiet, you can hear and see the beavers working around and listen to the loons in the morning and evening.
We fish mostly for both small and large mouth bass, I love the jumps and fight they give. Of course some days we only catch a bunch of sunfish....but it's still worth it to be out in the sun, drifting around in the canoe and smokin' a j.

If you like Bass check out this bad boy!

My little brother caught this Black Bass [I think Yanks call it Small Mouth Bass]

We both had this fish bite our lures ! But my brother got the hook-up... The lure he caught it on was HUGE...and blue and rattly...I said to him " Your wasting your time fishing with that!!"..and then 5 minutes later this fish showed up for some action...
It had stolen our live bait the night before.....We went back to the same spot and bingo!! Never weighed it but it was good fish allthesame!

I love using ultra-light tackle with 4lb test line and use a small (1/32, 1/16 or 1/8 oz) tube jig with a minnow or nightcrawler and fishing for big crappie or bluegill. they fight like the devil on light tackle and around here they can be found ranging in size from 1/2lb to 1 1/2lb. Also use same tackle for walleye and bass just for fun. And nothing like fishing for bluegill with a flyrod in early summer when they are up shallow to breed in the warm water.

You talking about ultra-light tackle, Have you ever used berkely's 1" honey worms? I was fishing with my son last summer I used honey worms (a plastic bait), And my son was using night crawlers. I caught 3 to his 1, He said to hell with these crawlers and put on honey worms. You should try them, I have never seen a plastic bait catch fish like these. I got mine at walmart, jar of 50 for $2.95. They come in natural, red and chartreuse, I have only used the natural so far.

Got several jars stocked up for this summer.

I don't understand why these people don't care. It was a simple step for me to transcend this type of behavior. Some people seem to evolve very slowly..
I think it must not be due to one single factor, which is why it's so difficult to pinpoint. On to the elements that compose the logic of cruelty


It's a mixture of stupidity, desensation, ignorance and denial. A stubbornness,fear and inability to change routine (the same dark force behind making drugs illegall in fact). It's the sadistic drive that would let one being kill and torture another for pleasure.

Evolution of society is slow. If we are to survive as a species we will learn to develop an empathy with life.

..as for the arguments "we need to kill fish to survive" is not applicable in developed countries. If you have a computer you have access to food that doesnt involve barbaric disregard for compassionate living. People using this excuse fall under the "denial" element.
