I like chums. I raised a bunch of them in the 70s cuz it was the new popular thing to build chum hatcheries. By happenstance a light went on, and I realized we don't need chum hatcheries. Chum do just fine in natural rivers. That concept has been a vital guiding light for me ever since.

Oh, but I don't fish for chums on purpose. Fair chase or not, that would violate 500 years of sporting tradition.
