That's crazy.

what a waste. do they have something to do other than flap their jaws about nothing

I look at it this way. If I use live bait or a jig,the fish that I catch had intentions of inflicting pain on another animal. So it is just karma working.

First off It was on ch5 and second It was written by the huffington post, enough said...the story I was told was there were these pro's out fishin one day( may have been a CAT tourn ) and they couldnt catch a thing, this one o'll boy said " ya'll need to through your net's over there".... I think ya'll know the rest of that story.....and what did Jesus do with those crappie??? how many those fish were alive when He helped them boy's cleaned um ??? ATF... does the F stand for fish??

Let me start by saying I am and always will be proud to be an American, born and bred in Texas. Now to my rant: This is ridiculous, these are the same types of people that say we should not spank our children and then wonder why kids are so disrespectful and society is going to hell in a handbasket.. I am 32 and a pretty well functioning adult because when I got out of line my dad grabbed a belt, needless to say I got the point. If you don't like it, don't do it. Don't try to start some ridiculous campaign to stop the unfair treatment of fish. They were provided to mankind as a form of food, and there is not a way to "nicely" kill an animal. I have always fished and hunted according my grandfathers words "If you kill it, your going to eat it", I figure if I stick to that I am doin' alright. Sorry for the rant guys but this really chaps my a$$, take care ya'll....

If you kill it ya got to eat it, every Good Texan was raised by that!!! how about if they HUG IT they got to eat it!!!!!

I wonder how many of those high browed sissies eat lobster. Or Caviar.

Spank your kids...don't spank em - just fillet those cats as fresh as you can. LOL!!!

I had the chance to fish with David Hansen on Tawakoni last year (my dad kodyspapa) has been booking a family guided trip for our Christmas present, which is a great idea coincidentally - David would put poke his filet knife in the fish's brain, right between the eyes of the fish before filleting it. Said it killed them instantly. Not saying you should, just saying you could. Can't taste a difference either way.

I've seen video of English fishermen using what they call a priest (big hardwood club) to deliver the last rites to the fish they intend to clean and eat. Not having a priest handy I generally go for my 24 oz. framing hammer. They settle down pretty good after that.

I like to watch 'em wiggle

Hahahahahahahahahaa I love the FRAMING HAMMER!!! I bet it gives off a beautiful spackle of slime, scales, and blood! That's too funny!!!!

Fish have feelings too guys.

Yeah, they feel crispy after I've deep fried them.
