I like to see how they laid the lines and baited the hooks.

This bothers me a lot. Why do we allow industrial scale slaughter of sea animals and not e.g. deer, ducks, or bear?

If they didn't there wouldn't be any deer ducks or bear left

Exactly "especially cooked in the form of calamari rings"

calamari rings come from octopus these are in the "form of" not that they are calamari.

If anyone likes to eat stuff that is rubbery, I have a lot of old tires that could be cut up

That's the problem. It's called overfishing, because that's a friendlier name than "hunt everything until there's nothing edible left". There are worse things than this. Bottom trawling is the equivalent of bulldozing forests to scare the animals out.
