Ok dude. I wasn't directing that comment towards you. It's just common BS I hear from snaggers.

as for why:

Its that way because some people apreciate the carnage of hooking a fish and feeling the bend of the rod more than than the effort/skills that it takes to get to that point. People who use "prescision snagging" are just looking for a way to achieve the gratification of multiple ideas being used in unison to achieve catching a fish, without using their own critical thinking. For me, the gratification of all my knowledge and experience coming together, to entice a strike from a fish is why it is so appealing to me. The fight from the fish is a reward from my effort, and evidence that all that effort contributed to my reward. Flossers are looking for the gratification with little to no prerequisite effort. Therefor, it is unsporting in principle. For the same reason snaggers look for rationale, they consider flossing a sport- to make themselves feel like they aren't doing anything wrong.

Many snaggers also fuel their beliefs with the idea that they can hook way more fish than a legit angler. Even if that was so, they don't realize that legit anglers don't value a snagged fish, therefor we don't care.

Reasons I don't like snaggers:

they crowd
they litter
they're law breakers
they steel shitt out of my car
they often try to convert me
they spread like a disease
hostility is regular
they spook the fish
they boast to much
they get a boner no matter how they hook a fish
they rationalize too much
I've seen to many fish swimming around with multiple rigs/line hanging off of them


I'd rather do a little more thinking than a little more yanking.

thats the way I think, if that's what you were looking for mpm.
