i never understood that mentality either - it's fishing, the goal is to trick a fish into snagging itself on a hook. it's a simple fact that even with the best possible handling techniques and gear selection... there is always a chance (hopefully remote) that the fish you hook will die. if that's not ok with someone, maybe they should golf instead.
