Hand Fishing for Cats
I know it's illegal in Missouri to hand fish for cats but it is legal one state over in OK. What's the reason for this? Is it a moral thing, unfair for the fish? Is it a risk thing safety for fisherman? I just don't get how some guys can run a trot line, and not check them for a month at time and the catfish has a dime sized hole wollered in it's heads when you look at it compared to building a box and grabbing it with your hand. If the fish gets away no harm is done when the other way around the cat is dead via starving to death, or turtle bait. Just curious not trying to raise a stink over anything.
