Fishing "Pole"

[spittinfly]

Ok, my wife thinks I'm crazy because I still like to go fishing and can clean and eat what I catch. She can't see how I can disconnect from fishing and my fish tank.

So who's with me....

(sorry, had a little fun with the "no" answer)

Easy, just don't keep fish that I may have to eat one day!

 

[spittinfly]

Yeah, I told her "You still keep cats as pets right.....?"

Ha just kidding she doesn't really eat cats.

(she's gonna kill me if she reads this)

I love fishing and occasioanlly I'll eat what I catch. I prefer catch and release though.

That's a great practice and really saves some for our kids.

I catch and eat as well as catch and release. I love to eat fish. Sushi is generally a weekly thing for me.

:vomit: Sorry I lived in Japan for 3 years and the one time I tried sushi they couldn't even get scrambled eggs right. Cold eggs with sugar inside on rice !!! !!!

I've become a vegetarian, and don't believe in animal abuse, especially if it can be avoided.

BTW I'm a real vegetarian, not one of those people who call themselves vegetarians and eat fish??!!?!!

I'm an omnivore (and have gobbled up my fair share of piscine dinners), but I would agree that you can't call yourself a vegetarian and still eat fish/chicken/etc. That's just avoiding red meat, which many people do for health reasons.

What I do, sort of, understand is people who feel they're vegetarians and still eat eggs. That discussion has great potential to deteriorate into a political argument, however.

And back on the subject...I think the only reason why fish are still pretty much food, and cats pretty much aren't, comes down to the fact that we figured out an alternative use for cats much sooner. If we had figured out how to constantly lure mice into a big pit with an arowana in it, we might feel a little different about the scaly ones.
