The research on the survivability of fish that have been caught and released
simply does not support this claim. Most of those fish survive. Many of the
deeply hooked fish even survive because the strong acid in the digestive
system dissolves the hook. Today, all of the fishermen that I know release
most of the fish that they catch. The fish are not harmed. Since most fish
are lip hooked, there is usually no loss of blood. The statements made below
by "Radium" are refuted by the current research and are simply not true!

Have a Great Day!

Fishing is a very cruel sport that slowly and painfully kills the fish.
The fish dies in the water before it is brought out to air. Thats
right, it is not an easy bloodless death by suffocation, but rather a
brutal, blood-spurting death caused by shock, profuse bleeding, and
excruciating pain. The sharp objects on the fish-hook kill the fish by
causing severe pain, hemmorhaging, and shock. This is very cruel and
sadistic.

Suffocation is not what kills the fish. Its the sharp stuff on the hook
that slowly, painfully, yet surely kills the poor fish

Stop fishing!!!!

Shooting a deer is not nearly as sadistic as fishing.

Those who fish are commiting a grave sin and will burn in hell after
their deaths. Karma is a bitch!
