Ok, I'm not anything like those kids at the Long Beach Aquarium first of all. I'm not destroying any property. I'm not breaking into anything. I don't kill anything that I catch in this pond. I think that catch and release has something to do with karma. So does anything else we do in life. If the guy wanted to be respected, he should have given me respect. Takes it to earn it. Whoever said something about sometimes these urban ponds are the only things you have to fish when you're a kid, they're right. I have nothing to fish besides this pond and a little put and take trout lake within a 40 minute drive, not to mention the fact that I don't have a drivers lisence and I have to reply on parents who don't fish too much for rides. And by the way, if we have an active police force shouldn't there be reasons for us to? No one even knows this lake has fish in it other than a select few, it has a cement walking path around the whole thing. I don't want anything bad for this sport, no wait wrong word, art. My dream is to be a professional fisherman. Why would I do any thing that would harm the reputation of fisherman? Most people already assume that most teenagers including myself are some punk kids out for trouble, so what difference does it make if I harm the reputation of kids?
