RE: Black and White Thursday
Almost the same in here. I am one of the few that release most of the fish I catch. Sometimes I keep some for my parents but the majority get back in the water. Some die soon after I release them unfortunately, but I try as much as I can to get them back alive. It's due to excessive fishing that these waters around here don't have that much fish anymore as they had when I was a kid or even longer before. Pike for example is almost extinct.
Yes, humans have a way of using up something until it is no more.
Here they just put a ban on fishing for Snapper near Whyalla, for the next 3 years or so to build up the numbers. Problem is fisherman will fish out the other species. Senseless.
I don't fish much, maybe once a year, if that. I don't even hunt. Mainly just cull. (Feral animal control.)
In my area I would ban commercial fishing for at least five years but the corrupt system doesn't see the problem with fish as long as they get their share. Sad...but true.
