Do fishing contests hurt fishing as a sport says Bill Wolf
Outdoor writer Bill Wolf argues that fishing contests promote prizes over sport. He cites children’s events with categories for fattest angler and prettiest child, stocked with carp, where fishing becomes a race to kill a fish for rewards. He urges individual teaching over contests and condemns illegal carp stocking and sportmanship decline.
