Following on from another thread it occurred to me that so many anglers are in denial regards our sport. When we try to deny or hide the fact that fishing causes some (usually small) damage to a fishes mouth we make ourselves look like idiots and liars. rather then denying the obvious we should be actively promoting the good aspects of angling like looking out for the wildlife on and around the water, being on hand to warn of problems with the water or the fish. The positive side of getting kids off the streets, getting families out together and fish welfare. Lets big up the positives not lie about the negatives. Everytime anyone mentions fish damage or a moron mistreating a fish someone always comes on and goes on about anti,s and ammunition and lets not talk about that. Its only through talking about it that people are educated about fish welfare and about how to keep fish damage to a mimimum.
