Whose fact is it that"...many fish once released ,and swim away, may

wild-eyed claim or do you have a dedicated group of observers who
report to you on a regular schedule?

Fishing kills by tearing the mouth and lips of the fish. It is
extremely painful for the fish. The fish dies from blood loss.

Yours is simply another in a long line of unsupported PETA opinion.

Nope. Fishing involves slowly and painfully tearing through the flesh
of a fish's lips and mouth. A slow painful death caused by profuse
bleeding from the wounds.


I have been fishing for more than sixty years and I suspect that I
have caught and released more fish than you'll ever see. I have yet
to see one bleed profusely from a hook wound unless hooked in
the gill. Gill hooked fish will bleed and ultimately die but I don't
release any fish that has gill damage. I kill the fish using a Iki
Jime tool and take it for food. I use circle hooks so it's very rare
that I gill hook a fish.

You've been badly hooked by those spreading anti-fishing propaganda
and they won't release you so you must continue to fight to learn the
real truth about fishing. Take a kid fishing.
