I don't get your drift. What? It becomes domesticated upon leaving your
hand/net?

Exactly. The terms are at odds.

Um...I got a bayou or two full of gators and water moccasins...care to
come do some layin' on of the hands, er, "domestication"...? This is
among the places you go off the rails, IMO - a single instance of
catching doesn't "domesticate" a fish (or anything else), and IAC, if
you believe catching domesticates the fish, you can't eat a wild one.
You've "ruined" the fish by your act of catching it, and eating it
serves no purpose as far as utilizing "wild" game. And what about
animals catching a fish? Do you think that domesticates it? Suppose
the fish escapes the clutches of whatever animal it was that caught it?
You're gonna leave footprints, too, Tim, even if you CnK...

R,

Wild is a 'relative' term describing the presence or lack thereof from
humans. Humans can not stand shoulder to shoulder in a fishery and say
that it is "wild". It's *less* wild, by definition. Now, the term
"wild" has come to mean "stream born" but this is very confusing
because multi year holdovers and fish stocked as fry are also
considered "wild" by these standards. I just emailed the Idaho F&G to
ask them if they clip the adipose fins of trout stocked as fry or sub-
catchables. Will let you know the answer.

Regarding your swamp analogy all I can say is "Gator McGoo Wednesdays
at 9" http://www.grizzlyadams.net/

Your pal,

OK. And what does your response have to do with the inability to catch
and release a wild trout? You must not use the definition of "stream
born" as "wild" because it would obviously be possible to catch and
release a "stream born" trout, so that eliminates all but trout NOT born
in the stream. Why can't you release those?

HTH,
R
