So, I have been reading a book about tuna fishing,* and the author touched upon the topic of ethics in fishing. I got to thinking about it and I could easily think of many hunting and outdoor ethics I adhere to and practice. Post childhood, I haven't done much in the way of fishing, though my better half still does so on occasion.
Tossing it out there for consideration and discussion: as an angler, what are the things you would regard as absolutely essential to being an ethical fisherman?
Thanks.
* One of my former colleagues up in Washington state could pretty much not shut up about the sport. I can't fault him, it sounds like great fun, and provides delicious edibles. Hence why I am reading the book.
