Of course not, but people were saying it's not "sporting" because it takes little or no skill.

Why does the "average" matter? Why not say bobber & worm lake fishing takes less skill than flossing a fish, and is therefore "less sporting?" and equally "wrong?"

People just seem to be drawing their lines whereever they want them, without any justification. If it's not about fish mortality and not about level of skill required, what makes something "sporting" or "right?"

Saying "I'm right" and "fishing = what I say" over and over isn't really very convincing.
