Mr. Farrant, when I was at your convention last week I was astonished to hear that 60% of the recreational fish that are caught are released. One of your researchers pointed that out and that amounts to a 100 million fish being released every year in Canada. As an angler myself I'm proud of our community for that kind of conservation ethic.
Can you talk about the history of catch and release from where it was 20 or 30 years ago? How did it happen that now we have an angling community that is ferociously concerned about conservation to the level that they release most of the fish that they catch?
