    So long as you release them after a few minutes, they feel no pain whatsoever. Not even the hook through their mouth or gills.

        Hah, I guess my sarcasm got missed on this comment! The premise that fish can’t feel pain because we don’t know for a certainty that they can is blatantly just mental gymnastics to justify the continued practice of a cruel hobby.

          Sorry, classic case of Poe’s law! There are plenty of people who write what you said without any sarcasm, so without any indicators there’s no way to know.

            Hah, I figured the second sentence was as parodically on-the-nose as I could manage without a satire indicator.

              Sadly people literally write that and mean it. See the other reply:

              They really don’t seem to be bothered by it.

      Back when I used to fish a lot, they were out of the water for 30 seconds tops, and I caught the same fish multiple times within 15 minutes on several occasions. They really don’t seem to be bothered by it.
