I'm very skillful at threading nightcrawlers onto fish hooks. Is this a sin?

Answer 1

Ah- so you are a Master Baiter?

Yes- I think this makes you grow hair on your palms and go blind.

Answer 2

Nope :)

Many of Jesus' disciples and other followers were themselves fisherman before following him during his 3 and 1/2 year ministry. Although they were told to be "fishers of men", they still needed a trade, right?

I just spent 4 days at the lake this weekend, and while I don't use live bait, (I use spinners for large mouth bass) I still had a rocking good time and caught 5 fish! :0)

I actually managed to outfish my hubby on my second time out. Hee hee :D He was proud of me though!

But we are catch and release kind of people, so it was all in good fun, not good eats :)

Answer 3

The one and only time I saw this done, I threw up.
Let's hope that God has a stronger stomach than I did at eight.
It really upset the little boy who had asked me to go fishing with him, especially when I felt sorry for the one fish he caught and kicked it back into the water.
He never did ask me again, although we are still good friends.

Answer 4

As long as you fish with them rather than doing this just to be cruel, this is not a sin.

Answer 5

I am not bad at it either.

Nothing wrong with catching fish to eat, especially on Fridays during Lent!

Peace!

Answer 6

Answer 7
