Dan the only reason I fish is to eat them!! Understand that the pursuit of food and the setting of the table is the ultimate reward.

The chase gives the saticfaction to know that all the work put forth into fooling the fish that I am about to eat has paid off. The ablility to wake up in the morning and the ability to be able to still use my own body and strength to pursue food is what makes it great. I love the outdoors too much to not pursue them. Same falls true for the hunt.
