    I couldn't vote. If the fish is big enough, we keep it. If not, we return it. I haven't gone fishing in a long time, just because you have to have a license and I've never been a big enough fisherman to warrant paying for a license. If I really allow myself to think about it, I don't see it being a lot different than hunting deer. But, then, I don't really have an issue with hunting deer if it's eaten. Blech, again...I'm all over the place.

    My choice isn't there.

    I don't fish (haven't in a very long time) but I don't think it's cruel.
    I love Fenway, JoJo, Olivia and Nonnie!

    Growing up in Alaska, with fishing being one of the top outdoor activities up there, heck yea I fish. Love to. There's nothing better than sitting on the ocean/lake on a warm summers day with a friend and fishing for salmon.... And yes, I eat what I catch.... Mmmmmm Salmon

    i don't think it is extremely cruel to fish. most all the men in my family do so it is no biggie. i feel sorry for the fish but still. I don't like commercial fishing. I think that is cruel. they catch and kill all kinds of animals other than the fish. i have never caught anything good enough to eat but i voted yes anyway because if a fish is caught here we eat it. sometimes we return them if we have to but most of the time we keep them.

    I go fishing, only a few times a summer though. I don't usually catch anything big enough to eat, so I throw them back.
