Sports fishing?

The May 23 article Monster fish caught off Florida, regarding the Crosthwait Memorial Fishing Tournament shows the little regard these “sportsmen” have for the sport they so love.

I had hoped I would read somewhere in the article that all fish were released to be caught another day.

Instead, all fish, including some very large and old grouper, were dragged onto the boats and then to shore to be weighed. I fail to find the sport in this.
