Let's look at it from a fish eater's point of viewCanadian_Diver:Let's look at it from a hunter's point of view.
If I am going to eat fish, especially relatively deep water fish like red snapper, and I want to have a minimal impact on the ecosystem from which the fish comes, there is currently no more efficient way to put that fish on the plate than to select, target and shoot that fish on scuba.
No bycatch.
No "release" of embolized fish.
No undersized or oversized fish.
Just pick the one I want to eat.
