I have been fishing a handful of times and although I have hardly caught anything exciting I enjoyed the peace and tranquillity.
What I don't get is programs on TV like Robson Green etc, when they land a fish and its laying there gasping with a hook through its mouth they then suddenly turn it into a natural history lesson pointing out its beautiful markings and its huge dorsal fin and its ability in its own environment etc etc.
This is not a fish wealthfare thing, its just that if you hook a fish, either eat it or throw it back to live another day and enjoy your sport but dont make out your interested in its beauty and its markings around the eyes.
