Yep, most are like you. The main reason they fish is to get themselves in a picture with a fish, figure out how many pounds and ounces it weighs, and show/tell everyone. I don't get it, but at least you freely admit it! And who is anyone else to say what you do? I'll have a scale, tape, and digital camera on the boat!
The question I've always wanted to pose is: If you were the only human on the planet, and had everything you had now in terms of fishing equip., and had all the food you ever needed, would you still go fishing? Would you go if there was absolutely nobody else to show and tell? I would, and I'd do it a lot, but I doubt if a lot of others would even fish in that situation. The answer to that question is the answer to why many of us fish in the first place. Size, numbers, to show and tell, or just to go.
