Is snagging fish ethical? I don't personally have a problem with it if you eat the fish. Some people actually use this for sport. I don't personally practice this technique intentionally. What do you guys think?

Here in Ohio you have to release snagged fish. When the walleyes are running in the Maumee river I have caught fish that had been snagged three and four times. It really sucks when you get one in the gut and you know it will be dead within a few minutes, but by law you have to throw it back.

snagging fish in my opinion will never hurt the fish population as long as state goverments regulate it by laws. so i don't think it is un-ethical. Noodling on the other hand is wipeing out catfish populations. state goverments are not aware of how easy it is and people are loading up by the truck loads in tennesse,kentucky,and mississippi. i know i have done it!
