Is fly fishing with an indicator really fly fishing? In catching your limit on Albacore, how many were caught on the troll? In catching Calico or Sand Bass, did you use live bait or did you catch them on the rubber? Trolling in any lake, that's not really fishing right? Catching a native trout is a real catch, not some planted fish right? Catching a fish off the road by a stream is not a real catch right? You have to hike miles upstream for it to be a real catch right? Catching a Steelhead in a river must be a native fish not a hatchery fish to be counted as a real catch right? Catching a cow tuna must be caught on a casted bait and not on the kite right? Catching a Marlin in Cabo isn't a real catch, if the Mexican deckhands hooks the fish for you. Going on a Partyboat and catching a boatload of fish is not real fishing right. Why, because you paid a Captain to find the fish for you. Hiring any guide is not real fishing, because you didn't find the fish for your self. What was that question again? Oh yea, is Powerbait cheating? Let see, you were probably fishing in a pay lake, so Yea the whole thing was a setup anyway, so by the purists definition of fishing, all of you were cheating, so it was a NO CATCH!!!!!!! lol
