Sport Fishing

Sport Fishing is also known as recreational fishing. It is merely fishing for pleasure, treating it as a sport and not necessarily to fish so that you could eat the fish although it can be an option. Real sport fishing enthusiasts are respectable folks who practise etiquette when fishing and have a tradition of catch and release as they fish for sport.  Hobbyists often discussed about equipment like fishing rods, reels, lines, hooks, sinkers, floats, baits and tackle boxes for storing weights, floats, lures, swivels, lines, hooks, pliers, etc. The other word to describe the practice of catching fish with a hook is called angling. So sports fisherman are anglers. In other countries, fly fishing, bow-fishing or spear-fishing are popular.  But fishing needs etiquette just like golf and others. All sport fishing people would agree. If you want to eat fish, go buy from the market. You can bring home the fish you caught from the sea to eat but ot...

Fish Book

We have face book. If we were all fish, then what? Fish book anyone? I last wrote about fish behaviour. http://gforce-guru.blogspot.com/2012/03/fishy-behaviour.html It is actually mind boggling and frightening if you look at the species of fish everywhere and it keeps you wondering if they were creation or evolution. I keep telling myself that it is creation as only in creation that life and things can be beautiful and super functional. Just look at this puffer fish.  A Giant Snakehead (Toman) and Mayan Cichlid living together. It is obvious which is the more aggressive fish but they have no problem and only on some days, the smaller cichlid would irritate the bigger one.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Q--2qzk8UQ So this is what it got. A few light bites to put him in place but the cichlid has attacked other fish even bigger than it is. It is in its nature. What is your nature? The Toman is a voracious eater. My son reared them from s...

Fishy Behaviour

If we look carefully at the human race, our behaviour can be quite often reflected in the animal kingdom. In fact, some human behaviour are so atrocious that it can be worse than animals. Such animosity resides in us because it is in the nature of Man. The only difference is that Man is supposed to be superior because we have a mind that can control things and behaviour through thought processes and is capable of feeling and therefore can decide to curb the animal instinct inside of us such as what we think, say or do.  We can never swing from tree to tree like an ape, leap high like a gazelle, sprint like a cheetah, ram like a rhinoceros, swallow like a hippopotamus, kick like a zebra, kill like a tiger, hunt like a lion or scavenge like a hyena. We don't even know why an elephant ran up a hill only to realise later that a tsunami is coming. In other words, our minds are superior to all other strengths and instincts. If one does not train his mind to be the...
