Not sure about the pecking order...agree with Matt on the variety is better than just one type.....guess for some it's kind of like Sail Boats and Power Boats in one thinks their way is always best. But I find that is the minority of people and not representative of the general attitude.
However....In my opinion the term "bucket brigade" does not refer to those that do not practice catch and release all the time. Rather it is a term that refers to those who always keep anything and everything with no regard for regulations. If someone is keeping fish within the season, size, limit, and location regulations then I have no problem with that and they are not a bucket brigader in my eyes. I practice catch and release 90+% of the time but I do keep certain fish at certain times cause they is tasty and I'm gonna eat'em. And I even use live bait for certain situations but again rarely. But it's always within regulations and limits. I do not consider myself part of the "bucket brigade" because of that. Again just my take on it so please don't take it as I'm trying to convince anyone to think differently.
