Hi Coasty and welcome to WAB. I never really gave fishing much thought really but if I'm honest I could never see the sense in it if the fish was going to be thrown back, which I know has to be done in some places ( if I'm correct ). That's just me. I've seen someone taking home a good catch from sea fishing and they must have had a good supper that night

.
I've also stressed on more than one occasion that not all country folk agree with hunting, it's a myth but I don't have a problem with shooting for food such as a Pheasant for the table. It's much more humane than animals being cramped all their life and transported around in all conditions.
