Now wouldn't that be scary?

I think some rivers on east coast Canada also has regulation to limit how many salmon you can hook and release per day. Once you reached that limit, you day is done. Don't quote me on this...but I think I came across it when I was looking at salmon fishing regulations for the eastern provinces...

Just want to say that I'm just trying to get a philosophical discussion going here...not targeting at anyone here in particular, and not trying to force anything upon anyone.

Some days, I think I'm terrible for being an angler, putting so many fish through so much stress...but then I think about all the new species I've yet to catch...and I forget about it.
