Why do I need a license to fish?

I don't fish a lot. I like to go like once very 5-6 months. I lost my job a month ago and was already stressed over money. I wanted to just have some cheap fun and relax.. Next thing I know some armed loser on a power trip is writing me a ticket and giving me his brainwashed robot speech. Asking where I work, how often I fish, what I do for a living, etc etc. Call me simple but I don't really understand how anyone thinks it makes sense that I can't walk down the street to a lake that God made, on a piece of land that God made for everyone, to catch fish that God created for me to eat, without having to give money to the government. I'm sure a lot of little brainwashed idiots will chime in here calling me a criminal, and evil and whatever other nonsense they've been brainwashed to believe.

Point blank, I want to be able to stand on the shore of lake and catch fish which I throw back anyway, without having to fill out paperwork, or be forcefully relieved of my hard earned cash during a recession. I try real hard to keep faith in America and the government and the police, but it is basically impossible anymore. Soon they will charge me for air and a few million brainwashed loudmouths will be calling me a terrorist and demanding I be locked up for not wanting to pay.

I guess my question is for someone to explain to me in a logical and reasonable way, any justification for why I should have to pay money and get a license to fish.
Capilano. I appreciate your response. And it was better than "oh yeh well you don't like the laws why don't you git out of ar cuntry".

I don't know how much the ticket is yet I just got it today. I have to drive out to court an hour away from me. It is gonna be between $25-500 dollars. I guess like everything in life there are people who are greedy and take more than their share and ruin it for everyone else. From my perspective though I am not a serious fisherman and just wanted to go and relax for the day and I have some jackass with a gun bothering me and asking me questions that are none of his business. In perspective the government only owns the land because they murdered everyone that lived there at one point and then put a parking lot, sign and armed jackasses there.

I don't regret not buying a license because I still feel it's ridiculous I should have to. I am never going to buy one and I am not paying this ticket if it's over $25 dollars.
I enjoyed fishing, I could have seen it becoming a hobby of mine, if I got more into it and did it regularly perhaps I would have bought a license. I grew up in the city and I have a feeling I may have seemed out of place there and that may have been the reason I was the person they chose to approach and ask for a license. I don't know anyone who fishes and legitimately had no idea I would need a license to fish in a small lake around the corner from my house. It would never even cross my mind that someone would make me pay to do something so simple and natural that people have done for free since the beginning of time. But I guesss you have to pay for everything now. Eventually they'll charge for air and redlemon will go around telling everyone to leave the country who doesn't like it.
