I don't eat fish, but I will only fish if someone else is eating it because otherwise this is a bit too close to true. Not that I think fish understand at all, so I'm not that judgmental on those who enjoy fishing catch and release style, but for me there seems to be little point to the whole thing.

Like jj, maybe I just don't understand fishing.

For us, it's a way of getting outside to the local (Wivenhoe) dam, in addition to other family activities like kite flying, a BBQ, etc. Other factors would be that I used to fish as a child, and want to pass that on to my children.

If we actually catch anything, it might be lunch!

But primarily, being a keeper of pet fish which I adore, and catching them for education/sport do seem to be a bit of a juxtaposition.
