my own sense on the game fish/eating fish/ coarse fish distinctions is that they are culturally based, geographically specific, and often delusions. why do we eat this fish and not that? hopefully because it is tasty and available, but this is often kind of conditional, as in <you eat the fish you catch>. the situation on this lake that i am casually fishing is that a commercial native fishery and commercial tourist fishery are in competition for scarce resources, with the walleye (here in anglais pickeral, french dore, ojibwe oka) really knocked down by pressures. the cormorants have arrive further north, fish regulation policies have been haphazard, and there are less fish than before. bass are ok on the lake, muskies grow big here, and there are undiscovered monsters in the water.
our sporting ethics are derived from a situation of scarcity, where a limited amount of game introduced conditions for the preservation of species. good idea given the circumstances. the sun is just now down into the water here.
