I looked back over the thread, and can't find where one person said that...because it's irrelevant. It would be even harder to swim with goggles and a snorkel and stab salmon with a fillet knive and attempt to bring them in...and that's not fishing, either.

It's not sporting because it's not sport...it's not the fair chase, getting a fish to bite your offering...it's snagging, and I don't give a rat's ass how hard it is, or how much better some are at snagging than others.

Fish on...
