I'm tired of being labeled to as only a "recreational" fisherman!!! As with most who fish, fish is an important part of our family's diet, therefore, we too should be given us the same subsistence considerations as others!!!!!
My fishing is primarily for SUBSISTENCE!!!!!

I couldn't agree with you more Grizz,
I've always bristled at the term "Recreational". Fishing and hunting runs much, much deeper than just "fun".
It's who I am. It's what I've done and what I will always do.
I'm sure we are not alone in this sentiment and I would like a different designation other than merely a "recreational" angler.
