This is an awesome article if you are an ignorant, liberal, 
douche. Catch an release trout fishermen and organizations like trout unlimited have invested countless hours of conservation efforts in fisheries around the state. While there is a small percentage of mortality associated with catch and release fishing the negatives are incomparable to a demographic like the Kenai king fishery which has been all but decimated between guide and personal use sport fishing. Because these fish are being retained it makes it more ethical? I firmly believe that trout fishermen have a sense of stewardship and vested interest in the overal health of a fishery. I also believe that if done correctly catch and release fishing is minimally detrimental to the target species. In the end it's an opinion, if you don't agree don't participate. Just don't run down others in the process.
