Sure, there's the mythic (not mythical) pleasure of the hunt - but a lot of fishing involves returning the catch to the water.

You get catching fishes, but not other prey? Also, the catch and release has mostly to do with sustainable fishing, more than ethical thing. For example pike angler catching bait fish, killing it, putting it as a bait, getting pike and releasing it, isn't actually because of avoidance of killing. At least you kill some maggots, worm, bait fish, etc, if using natural bait.
And what's that shit about unarmed animal? Show me even one predator (specie) that want's to be killed or injured while hunting? If you have watched even some nature documentaries you know that predators go for the weakest and easiest pray. That is probably why you hunt mostly at the supermarket; easiest and safest.
Same goes with war, some guys seem to have unbelievable views about "fair fight". Well, good if you want to die, otherwise not so good. Using some common sense you will get why fair play is shit.
