As we all should know by now the few folks who would demand that we stop an activity that we have grown up with and take a great deal of pride in practicing to the best of our capabilities. That we play fish in the shortest time possible, that we take the time to revieve and release fish not just toss 'em back in the creek. And yes occassionally harvest a fish or 2 to provide a meal for our family. We all should heed thesze beginings and take up an offensive stance now! Just look at hound hunting for bear and cougar in WA. state. Here a vocal minority was able to sway voter opinion on a subject that most "city folk" don't have the first clue on. By using deceptive and sometimes false sound bites in 30 sec. commercials they were able to get 75% of voters to outlaw hound hunting. Fishing is praticed by more people but that doesn't mean a threat doesn't exsist.
