In the 1950's as a boy my purpose for fishing was providing food for my family. In the 1960's my teen years focused on education and improving social skills, not necessarily in that order, so I didn't make time to fish. In the 1970's I was introduced to 'barbless' hooks. The barbs gave the fish less chance of escape and were more damaging to its mouth. I began to view fishing as a sport rather than a food source. In the 1980's it became more common for me to catch and release fish. In the 1990's I discovered that pictures and measurements, not the actual fish, were sent to the taxidermist. Conservation was now being discussed. In the 21st century, releasing fish, particularly large fish, became much more prevalent. Conservation and even 'tagging' fish before releasing them became part of my experience. Tagging fish enables very useful data to be collected to assist in research to preserve the species.
