Whatever the situation may be, as long as it is lawful, I'll support the individual's choice. I may not agree with it (and I don't with Nates), but I'll respect the decision. My buddies know where I stand... However, I feel I have gain more respect from them by respecting their decision. One of the hardest things I had to do was overcoming my convictions.

Ultimately, my greatest reward from fishing comes at the end of the day when I can turn to my buddy, shake his hand and say, "Thanks, I had a great day!" Those days bring the best memories and lasting friendships.

Is a life long friendship (or possible friendship) worth losing over ethics?

We all have at least a few things in common... We all enjoy fishing and we all share different beliefs. If we can respect one another's choices or ideas, we will all be better sportsman.
