Zozo, if you think lining is OK, then how come your apologizing to us for doing it?

The mentality your using here seems more inline with commercial netters then sportfishing. Isn't the sport in sportfishing derived from tricking a fish into taking your presentation. If you really don't care wether they bite or not then why don't you just buy your fish from the market? In the long run it's probally cheaper then buying licenses, tags, gear, etc...

Good luck...you may need it.
