Certainly it's a more efficient way of harvesting meat, but I think it's pretty strange. You could drain a (dammed) lake and pick up all the fish, and call that "fishing" too... but I wouldn't call it fishing.

If it's to be a sport, fishing and hunting should be a kind of contest, you against the creature, with you using your wits and knowledge of the outdoors and animal's (general) behavior. If you use some overwhelming technical or other artificial tactical advantage to get your quarry, can still do that I guess, but that's no contest, and no sport any longer, just meat harvesting.
