    Was flickin through the tele and came across bass fishing and was disgusted at the way these lads fish they have all this gear and making a fortune out of fishing which is fair play of your good at it but the way the fish are hooked you would swear they are hookin into a tope the rod is swung up in the air and the fish is basically water skiing into the boat and has to be causing damage to the fish mouth
    Anyone else agree or am I on my own?

    What program are you referring to?
    I do agree in principle though, fish generally aren't treated as well as they could be, from things as simple as letting them recouperate in the net for a few sceonds before unhooking/protographing etc. to having them flapping around on rocky shorelines.

    Yes I agree the fish are treated badly only because it's a race against time and there is a lot of money at stake ....

    It's exactly the same story in Fly fishing competitions .... fish are pulled out of the water with no manner, measured and thrown back...

    The US Bass Angling competitions on Sky?

    saw that myself and thought the same thing, but unlike our bass they don't seem to be in short supply, and catch and release doesn't seem to be an issue either. With $100K+ on offer, I guess I'm not too shocked to see them not want to miss landing any fish.

    That's an outrageous attitude for any angler to have.

    It's a long long time since I've seen such an ignorant statement.

    Your a tool, simple as that.
    Thats the attitude of a fisherman out for himself, not a Angler.

    Think you need to hang up your rod and may aswell go onto the lakes rivers and canals as with that attitude towards fishing you may aswell be a ****ing poacher

    Any man fishing with a rod and line is allowed to keep fish its the law, (within catch limits) i love to cook my fish and when mackerel fishing i keep all the fish and deep freeze them for bait fishing... I certainly think that fishing is gone about who has the biggest most expensive rod... Its unthinkable to me that anglers don't cook there own fish but obviously people don't care about that side of it... As with regard to treating of fish, if for example worm fishing for salmon, mighty care has to be concerned for salmon smolts etc.....


    Dont i do really think that people are fishing now to have the most expensive lures and the biggest rod between there legs, instead of observing whats around them like the mountains and the beauty of nature...
