A new meta-analysis showed catch and release fishing increases exponentially with lower IQ, with drop off to near 0 at 145+. Catch and release is mostly appealing as a way to fill an otherwise vacant mind that has no interesting thoughts and minimal goal-directed behavior. Intelligent people find stimulation from thinking about fishing and cooking fish, not from throwing away dinner after posing for a silly selfie.
