Well... I assume the fish that I catch have resentment and feel embarrassed... Any fish I release gets told that they need to fight like a real fish and to come back when he can man up... lol

Crazy time this year when I started fishing the Hudson for the first time because its right there and still learnin the ropes. This guy who was filling me in decided to thrown his bait LITERALLY next to mine and about 15 minutes later he hooked into a 50+lb Sturgeon. First one i've seen in person and it was nuts! I knew they were there but didn't know they could get that big anymore! We spent 10 minutes balancing on rocks over the wall trying to get the fish off without taking it out of the water because a fish and game ranger said to us that he was going to fine the guy if it didn't swim away. We got her off and I waded her into about 4 foot of water to massage her back... still can't get the Hudson stink off those waders...
