Is It Bad?

[+ Slowhand]

Some people say that fishing is bad, even fresh water fishing in ponds is bad, mainly because a person takes too long weighing the fish and the fish suffers by suffocating when it is in the water, or maybe the fact that the mouths on the fish get cut and torn by the hooks.

At the end of the day, Fishing has been going on since the stone age, it happens everywhere and we weren't complaining then, it was a part of natural life, I dont think fishing is bad (talking about freshwater fishing), I put the fish back and make sure to not cut the mouth and its scales, I just dont like it when I see that happening when other fisherman do it

nahh i don't think fishing is bad!

i fish quite a bit with my dad, also freshwater, and very rarely does the fish ever get injured. I mean every once in a while the fish will swallow the hook and he probably gets cut up a bit. but that doesn't happen very often.

the fish getting a whole in it's lip is, theoretically not going to hurt him. i mean people get whole pierced in their lips and they live right? and they don't even bleed from it,

so to the point, no it's not bad!

Fishing own all sports. Of course its bad since some abuse it and such and throw away dead fish instead of letting it rot to death on the surface instead of in the water. lol..

I usually kill sheepheads. I hate those fugly fishes.
