I always found "catch and release" fishing to be a very misguided and hypocritical activity. I don't see eating meat as particularly immoral (this will likely change in the coming decades, as substitutes get better), but factory farming is pretty evil. Hunting and fishing help you avoid that. If you hunt for prey, then eat the poor thing, perhaps after contemplating on its life a little. If you do not, then you're literally torturing an animal for no reason other than entertainment, while deluding yourself that you're taking the moral high ground. This is similar to people who get outraged at hunters, but don't think twice about eating factory farmed meat daily.
