It's another way for the government to get their hands on your money. If your were out fishing on your boat, would you want a police boat slaming up on the sides of your boat doing damage, having police comming on board demanding to see your fishing license. If really takes the fun out of the trip. Then the Coast Guard could do the same thing demanding to see your lifejackets. What if it is rough? All of this can be dangerous. the police will kill you

Hunting licenses are a means by which the State can keep statistical information on hunting activities in their State. A portion of the revenue produced from the sale s of hunting licenses typically is used for awareness and training programs produced by the State.

A fishing licence is required so as to ensure that only authorised members of the public many fish. This is to control fishing stocks.

Were a fishing licence not required, fish stocks would, theoretiicaly, run out much quicker than they are now.

Generally speaking yes you do. Each state has laws regarding the taking of fish and wildlife (this includes catch and release). Some exceptions to this are; children below a certain age do not require a fishing license in many states, private bodies of water are also usually exempt as long as you have the landowners permission, many fishing piers have a general license which covers anyone who pays admission.

To avoid fines and the illegal taking of fish or wildlife, it is always best to assume that you need a license and permit. Contact the local fish and wildlife department and they will answer any questions.

This should not be a concern. To be charged for this, you would need to be caught fishing. One could argue just cleaning equipment in the water if fish were not also seen. Catch and release is also technically NOT fishing but just practicing the skills you would need to fish later.
