As long as the fish has sufficient mass to generate the momentum I agree.It's how the pros do it.

It takes an uncommon person to bludgeon any animal to death. Not everyone can do it for obvious reasons.

This thread could get ugly fast.
I think everyone added there 2 cents.

Time to shut it down perhaps?

This reminds me of all the fresh water that died under my care.
now if one of my SW fish dies, I'll freak!

Also reminds me of fishing, usually catch and release, but sometimes they swallow the hook too deep in which case you bust out a pair of small pliers, and a little tap on the head

Frankie · 04-16-2008, 11:14 PM

Your not useing the right hooks, octopus hooks are the best for lip hooking with live bait.

Varga · 04-16-2008, 11:18 PM

I have some of those, never tried though. looks like the worm would just fall off ??

This reminds me of the bass that broke my 6lbs line like it was nothing. I'll have to go back to that lake with that oil you guys are talking about

If the fish is sick why cant you just let it die naturaly? They do not have a developed "pain recognition department in their brain." Sorry I dont know the biological term. I will ask my fiance when I get home. She is a biologist. She told me this exact quote, except she used the real word for the non pain feeling thing, when I killed my B&W clown fish on accident after forgeting to put the grate back on my power head.

We have no way of knowing what they do or not feel. You would have to be a fish to know that. Science can guess but they don't know.
You certainly can let it die naturally, but there is also the argument that if they are suffering shouldn't we end their misery similar to what we would do for a dog or cat.
Everyone must decide what is right for them and their situation.
