Default Do fish feel pain? This article says "no"

Read this in the paper yesterday. No sources were cited:
"The National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame reports on research that
proves that fish do not feel pain. The jumping and pulling that fish do when
hooked is a response to a loss of free movement, not pain. Awareness of pain
comes from the cerebral cortex of the brain, and fish do not have it."
