Our friends tried to talk us into taking a German fishing class with them.... since I got my fishing fill in Louisiana, we opted not to take the class. However, they did take the class and received their German fishing license. They went fishing on Saturday and brought back two fish. We ate the fish while discussing German fishing laws.... which led to the conversation of catch and release. Apparently, the "environmentally friendly" Germans do not believe in catch and release. Maybe it's too inhumane for them... I'm not sure. So instead of gently removing the hook from the jaw of a fish, they simply WHACK it over the head with a club. Sometimes one whack isn't enough, so it is quickly followed by another whack. This usually does the trick. I'm not sure how this works since it is also illegal to catch a fish and not "use" it. Does anyone else see the hypocrisy in this?
Regardless of the laws, the fish was delicious.
