Animal-rights group PETA took the opportunity to tack a moral onto this fishy tale.
“Will anglers now relate to that fillet on their plate, or is all this ‘mourning’ for Benson a lot of crocodile tears?” the group said in an e-mail statement.
“No one should be hooked on fishing, and fish shouldn’t be hooked at all.”
To which I say, go eat a soy bean. We know fishing hurts, that’s what makes fishing so much fun, because the pain makes them pull harder.
