It was a cold, spring morning as my alarm began blasting in my ears. But today I didn't care. I was excited to get up at 5:30 a.m. For my brother-in-law and I where going fising at the local pay pond and best of all the pay pond was having a fishing tournament.

We arrived around 6:30 a.m. It was a little crowded to my surprise but after unloading our gear and supplies we did our scoping for a good spot. And it didn't take long to find one.

    My family and I started out the weekend by going fishing. We fished many hours and we hooked into some nice crappies. Our family’s seasonal camper on Lake Shamineau is where we spent most of our time fishing. Routinely spotted were large northern pike and muskies all while looking for schools of crappies and walleyes. Quietly trolling for walleyes, I happened to snag a small fishing rod.…

    When buying fish at the store or eating at a seafood restaurant most people don’t give much thought to where the food they’re eating came from beyond “the ocean.” Even less consideration is put into how the fish was caught or if the practice is sustainable. Today’s mentality is all about instant gratification regardless of future consequences, whether it be health or environmental risk.

This assumption is incorrect and in part feeds into the reason why over-fishing occurs.…

Fishing companies go out with the intention of catching a select few species of fish and any other type of marine life that is captured in the process is considered bycatch. The methods that fishing companies use are unethical and extremely harmful.…
