in Do you think fishing hurts fish? Does it even matter? on Kitty Mowmow's Animal Expo
I used to trail a fishing line behind my sailing boat until one day I actually caught a mackerel. However, the excitement of hauling it in soon gave way to the realisation that I had destroyed something incredibly beautiful for the sake of a few moments of eating pleasure.
I’m not a vegetarian so I suppose it is cowardly of me to let others do the killing for me. I try to justify my meat and fish eating by buying as sustainably as possible and not wasting any.
But fishing purely for the sport of it I cannot understand.
If only fish could learn to scream loudly when hurt it might not seem so much like fun.

fishing trip with my family as a child. I caught a fish, but the hook
went through its eye, and it took what seemed like excruciating ages
to get it out. I couldn't help myself; I felt terrible for the fish
and started crying (hey, I was a little kid).
I also eat fish, and I also just try to be as sustainable as possible.
