I don't fish - I don't even eat fish.
But I can't help but think, every time a new regulation comes around, that what's really going on is someone's pissed because they're losing grocery food-sales to those who fish or hunt.
I'm not sure how much things cost, now, but I know quite a few people who fish for food - and their catch is the main staple of their diet.
What does that translate to in food they might have bought from the store instead? I think it would cost more to purchase the said amount of fish from a store rather than catch it yourself - even including tackle, license, etc etc.
Of course, I'm just an outsider speculating, but I think part of the 'anti' crowd is populated with corporate hounds looking out for their actuarial dollar.
