I was just pointing out my personal view and motive for fishing, not taking a dig at anyone else's. Folks can have all the contests they want about catching the most and the biggest. Such things just don't catch my personal interest. I don't look down on contests among fishermen any more than I look down on peanut butter sandwiches.
There are a lot more lazy techniques than trolling: explosives, electrofishing, rotenone, gill nets, trawling, etc. etc. Each has its place and purpose, and where legal I offer no criticism.
Liberty is about the freedom to make things harder for yourself if you want it to be harder. But being disrespectful of fishing techniques because they are perceived as too easy is just a way to divide the sporting community. Only PETA wins.

ITs funny you say this when not to long ago you bad mouthed guides who always fish out the same boat launch or marina . It seems as though you called them lazy and not a wise choice . Perhaps you should take some of your own advice and stop the bashing as well.
