I don't understand what's the point of fishing if you are releasing the fish. Fishing for food, yes. Otherwise why?

[-] kogasa@programming.dev 14 points 1 month ago

Possible reasons include:

  • fun

  • inflicting needless suffering on fish [applies if you hate fish]

  • practice (some places have catch and release in effect for part of the year but you can keep caught fish later in the season)

If the fish is not the type you are looking for or smaller than you want. Also fun.

Legal catch sizes are ridiculous in some places too, no shorter than 19, no longer than 22"
