I think it's senseless slaughter and wanting to brag on the internet.
Oh well, you're giving the same excuse.... commercials do more harm.
If indeed that were the case, (which it isn't because there are so many PB'ers and sport boats doing the same thing every day which adds up-there have been studies shown that sport caught fish delete more fish stock for certain species than the commercials), does it make it right to excuse what you are doing because somebody else is doing it in much greater scale?
I think not.
By the way I've been lurking this site as well as Allcoast.com since 2005 and I read most of the reports and see the same guys who go out every week and take home 20 to 50 fish every weekend. These are the guys who put up photo-esssays of their trip. They are vastly outnumbered by the guys who take an equal amount of fish but do not do the photo essay on the internet. One can only imagine. Take 2 yellowtail instead of five. Take 1 halibut instead of 3. 1 WSB instead of 3. Repeat every week. Chance are, you own some rods, own a boat, and enjoy the sport, the time you go fishing will not be your last time and especially in the peak season.
Let the fish live, to fight another day and to go make more fishies. That is not a hard thing to do.
