I have met Louis a number of times and while he may be an in your face kinda guy, I believe the local title is "Coonass", isn't as bad as you think. He is however caught up in the idea of demonstrating his own "superiority" over other animals as are all catch and release fisherman, he just doesn't release. Further, from my own experience with Rok and other cajun divers, everything gets eaten by someone. I personally love barracuda which many people don't care for and call trash fish.
I do not share his beliefs and attitudes about marine animals or hunting ethics, just trying to paint the whole picture. They also don't shoot sharks anymore, just like the hell divers were the first organized group of people to stop hunting Goliaths, well before it was a law. (FYI it was Jacques Cousteau who taught them how many years ago, to stone a "jewfish") As in those are old pictures taken back in the olden days.
The talk of banning spearfishing is not given serious thought here in the gulf FYI, even with people waving those pictures at council meetings and implying plenty from them, simply because there are spearos there who speak up for the sport, finally. We will not be thrown under the bus again.
