I'm quoting this one separately to make a separate point (and to get Happy's wish of over ten pages)purple5ive wrote: ↑Fri Oct 25, 2019 9:42 pmFor someone that has found fame by doing soft plastics tuitions and YouTube videos I think he has come a long way.
He has done nothing wrong. The lady has done nothing wrong either.
I don't know why we have to drag this scenario any further than it already has been.
Let the hype it has created run its course and soon it will all be just another YouTube video. Let's move on people...
Steve, what if the media branded you one of the worse fishermen, the cruelest.
Most Fishos fish for food. Your Bream Tournament Fishing fishes for sport and personal gratification (winning/competing) as the fish are released. It can be argued that the fish is fighting for it's life when being reeled in, which it is. Fishos who catch to eat do it for a "Hunter/gatherer" scenario, which man has been doing for thousands of years, so for a purpose. Fishing for just sport "can" be seen as making this fish fight for it's life (and even longer when on light gear) just for your enjoyment. That is synonymous with torture.
So, media, and how they present scenarios can "condition" other people's thought processes.
I'm just glad in a way my fishing is that bad that I rarely catch fish to be criticised , , , , so it's only the rubbish I leave behind that the media can pick on
Cheers, Buglitterer
