Mike, I love to fish, landing the fish is certainly the goal but, the hunt, and fight are part of the enjoyment as well. If a fish gets the best of me with lighter tackle I can live with it. I like eating fish, but most of the fish I keep are given away because in my family of 5 I'm the only fish eater. I like the satisfaction of doing iit as light as possible. There are concerns about mortality using inadequate equiptment, especially for highly migratory, regulated species and I would'nt want to waste the resource for just pure enjoyment.
