Light Tackle

I admire light tackle fishermen. They lure the fish, then—in concert with its natural instincts—draw it closer and gently pull it from the water. They may bring the fish to shore to eat it, or release it, with both fish and angler wiser for the experience.

If the goal is just to get the fish from the water, one may alternately blow up an M80, or poison the stream. Effective, but graceless.
