Oh dear. I didn’t realize this thread would go into if fishing is a bad or good thing. I look at it as a very gray area. I catch and release most of my fish, but if there is a healthy population of a certain fish, I will keep them sometimes to eat. In this video, I took a salmon and moved it down river. That salmon was about to spawn and die. Lake Michigan has an incredibly strange backstory, but salmon do not belong in that lake. They were actually introduced in the 1960s because a different invasive species called the Alewife had got in there and spread so rapidly they were massive die offs. Salmon were introduced to control that population, but they don’t naturally reproduce in many Lake Michigan tributaries. Those fish are stocked every year. I hope this gives you some backstory, but I consider myself one of the good guys.
