In the 70's and 80's I did a fair amount of spearfishing. I have to admit I liked stalking the prey. I found the kill, however, an anticlimax. I always felt a bit sad. I ALWAYS hunted to eat. If I saw a 10 lb grouper next to a 30 lb grouper, I would go for the smaller.
I grew up in Florida and the biggest fish tend to get wormy and the flesh is not as good. Also, the breeders need to be kept. The macho big game hunters almost completely wiped out the goliath groupers in areas of Fl. Only tight conservation has started a slow comback.
I still eat fish whenever I can, but now enjoy "hunting" with a camera. The same thrill of the stalk, with less depressing end result.
