I've found bees in trout stomachs several times. Often as not, they're
really seriously stinging wasps -- yellow jackets. One more datum point
that says fish don't feel pain.


Nope. One datum that suggests trout eat insects that are capable of
inflicting painful.....and sometimes lethal....stings. Says nothing at all
about whether or not fish feel pain.

who, despite a great deal of experience, STILL finds it curious that so many
are so absolutely bereft of any sense of what data tell them.

My God, you are so dense. That comment was meant as an ironic jab at our
dear fool Barry, and not meant to be taken seriously.

I have little doubt that fish feel pain. I just don't get all blubbery
about it. I wouldn't go so far as to say that I don't give a ****. I do.
I'll take reasonable steps to minimize a fish's suffering, but it
doesn't keep me awake at night.
