As an aquarist, I am a fish breeder (my friends call me "fish pimp" because of this), a fish lover, a collector of odaballs. But as a fisher I love going on trips with my dad to his freind private farm (with that freind) and caching 10 pound catfish for food. the lake is full of them! you always get a cat,every castout. the only bad times are heavy winters and the breeding season, because the catfish you get every castout, is a 3 pound (at most) baby catfish.
 
Before our boat broke down my wife and I fished once a week, more during the flounder run. Nothing better than fresh, stuffed flounder. I see no hypocricy in keeping some fish and eating others. Besides, have you ever looked at a flounder up close? Ugly critters. Doing them a favor by eating them. It keeps them from seeing their reflections on the surface of still water and scaring themselves into suicide.

LOL .. Also, have you seen a "Lookdown" fish? Very strange looking! Very tasty though..

They are also called "Moonfish".

This pic from StarTrek has way too much in common with the Lookdown fish!

Maybe the same family, but it is different from pompano and permit. I've caught lookdown, but not the other two, and they are my favorites!
 
I haven't got to go fishing since the boat broke down in june. Jonesin' pretty hard right now.

My fiance is a commercial fisherman in Kodiak, AK so as far as I'm concerned eat all the fish you want!! He'll just get payed more!! :joke: But seriously I eat fish, don't see anything wrong with it, it's the way the food chain has been for hundreds of thousands of years. :dance:
 
If god didn't want us to eat animals..... he wouldn't have made them out of meat!!

By the way, I'm starting a new chapter of PETA here in Alberta. It stands for
People who
Eat
Tasty
Animals
