if you are attacked ....threatoned with a weapon...or assaulted..then by all means defend yourself by any means....to the death...
but when you get extremely steamed by minor damage and almost blow a gasket... it has already done more harm internally to your own body
than you could ever imagine in the form of stress which causes your body to release adrenaline for one... to initiate the fight or flight response... naturally...but also there are bad hormones released from
over reacting that can shorten your life-span considerably which acomplishes the exact opposite of the good effects of what fishing does for you.
