Dan -

Its not the dead bugs on your grill that would be at issue. It would be swerving your rig into the flight path of oncoming bugs, intending to merely wound them that would be at issue. laugh

The only issue I really have with dude's argument is that he does not have a problem with fishing as a means to get food. All the supposed 'trauma' is inflicted upon those fish as well AND you kill them afterward...at least when you release a properly handled steelie you know there is a good chance that it will live. Not true when you apply the wood shampoo though is it?

If it could be demonstrated that fish posess emotional intelligence such as that displayed by higher mammalian forms (dogs, for example),I'd be taking his argument even more seriously. As it is, I think there is a big difference between fishing for Fido and fishing for Ike.
