I never understood catching a fish if you’re not going to eat it. I mean, sure, it’s probably glad to escape with its life, but would prefer not to be caught at all.
We were doing the tourist thing in Alaska a number of years back. There were small streams no more than a few feet wide and a foot deep that had salmon running up them to spawn. The bears were feeding well there.
Kathleen Madigan did a comedy routine like this once where she compared humans being abducted by aliens and then returned to catch and release fish trauma. There’s a you tube video. Just search Kathleen Madigan, alien abduction. It’s quite funny.

Um, salmon die after spawning. They practically rot as they head upstream.

Too bad you missed spawning, Larry, you’re such a catch.

No harm? Having a hook lodged in your mouth, and being hauled out of your atmosphere?

I thought it was going to go straight into the mouth of something bigger.

My preferred method of fishing is to head to Cascade Locks and purchase 5 or 6 from the native population.

Moral of the story is, if you caught it or kilt it, eat it.
