Unethical treatment of captive fish!!!!

Unethical treatment of captive fish!!!!

As an experienced atlantic salmon and trout fly fishermen I was excited to wonder through the ll bean Freeport store. Within this beautiful store and among the beautiful merchandise I was shocked to see the unethical treatment of captive fish during a fly fishing display. The fisherman stood atop a rock and continuously flicked his fly with no success. As we all have experienced many many times. Then he reached into his pocket, threw a handful of fish food into the water and flicked his fly in among the feeding frenzy. Within seconds he hooked a fish.
Its questionable that ll bean wants to create a merchandising opportunity by displaying wild species fish within their many aquariums and ponds. However, the inhumane treatment/torture of these fish by continuously hooking them through unethical fishing practices causes me to question ll bean s corporate ethics. Not to mention their promotion of unethical fishing practices to all the future fishers within the audience.
To all who witnessed ll beans unethical fishing practices I want you to know, you may not always hook a fish every trip to your river or lake. But when you do finally hook one through ethical practices it s well worth the hours you ve spent getting to that point.
Tight ETHICAL lines to all and shame on you ll bean!!!
