Fishing line

I like fishing.  I need to start this blog off with that statement to show I have no bias against fishing, fishermen or wishermen.  But I do need to vent a little about responsibility.  On the nearby lake that I paddle, it is always populated by the local fishermen which I'm always on the lookout for since some are in boats but others stake their claim on the banks of the shore.  You never, ever want to run into their lines - for some reason, they get upset with that.  But what disturbs me about one of the aspects of fishing is the tangled lines that are abandoned.  It's just not something that we think about (me included).  Our line snags, we cut it loose and start setting up another one.  I took this video which has inspired me to be responsible no matter what the activity since whatever you leave behind in your wake will no doubt have some consequence.
