I dont want to be the devils advocate but fish do not have the brain capacity to feel pain from hooks. I dont know about letting them slowly die, if they can feel suffering though.

Me and this guy were having a conversation about fishing, hes a big fisherman and shark fishes and all things like that, one thing lead to another and i started talking about hunting, he went on to tell me how wrong hunting is and its so unfair to kill a harmless deer, and how there so easy to kill...I meet so many people who are so against hunting yet they fish, and thats perfectly ok because fish arent cute and furry.
Ya because reeling a fish in by the mouth, and throwing him on ice to slowly die is alot more humane.

And yes, I fish and hunt. The fishermen I don't like are those who beat small sharks to kill them or toss rays or skates on the deck to die, rather than throw them back. I don't fish for anything I don't eat and I don't hunt for anything I don't eat. If I don't intend to eat it, I either leave it alone to begin with or put it back with as little stress as possible.
And add those who throw cigarette butts and garbage in the ocean. I don't empty my trash in your refrigerator, please don't toss your trash into mine.

This isa very deep philosophical subject that can't be discussed in terms of rationalizations about feeling pain, stewardship, resource management etc. The bald face reality of the matter is that there are a small percentage of people in our modern day society that still have a strong predatory nature working in their lives. Some of which have been able to release this compelling urge through hunting. The others are still looking for their place to be predatory. The vast majority of people in our society are not living by natural law (urbanized) and have lost their predatory nature. They have become extremely passive and that's why fishing, bird hunting and the like are more acceptable forms of being a sportsman in the outdoors. Also, remember when we kill another warm blooded big game animal ( like ourselves) our spirits have soared beyond the mundacity of ordinary modern day behavior.

RE: I hate people who are like this!
People are so ill informed about hunting, I consistently talk to non hunters about the application process, and they're like what? they have no clue that you can't just go into the woods anywhere, anytime of year and shoot as many deer as you want etc.... No wonder alot of non-hunters have a problem with it, I think once they come to learn we're actually managing populations of game vs. just killing them into extinction they'd be more apt to come around to the idea of hunting. I would think common sense would be that you can't just shoot any animal anytime anywhere, but then again, I guess common sense isn't common enough?

We should do everything we can to introduce people(urban) to the natural (off the pavement) world. Hopefully, by doing so they too can restore their lost predatory nature and join our ranks of passionate hunters.
