not within the bass species. 23 years of experience shows me that. |

the bigger they get (bass species) the easier they come in.. Small ones fight hard all the way to the boat. |
won't be surprised if you catch bas in your fishing nets. he's got to be the biggest specimen of that species. |

Fish have memory, experiments with goldfish going through mazes prove they do. |

According to James Rose, a professor of zoology at the University of Wyoming, and an admitted fisherman, "Awareness of pain in humans depends on specific regions of the cerebral cortex. Fishes lack these brain regions and thus the neural requirements necessary for pain experience." Rose believes that a fish's reaction to being hooked is an "escape reaction."
The old debate over whether fish feel pain ("Ouch!") just won't go away. Maybe fish do feel pain, if they are injected with enough acid and venom, which is what the researchers did in the study you reported. But these poisons can never be compared with a fishhook. Besides, predator game fish like trout (used in the study) eat pinching crawfish, biting insects and spiny baitfish. Largemouth bass will eat live mice. I once caught a walleye that had a whole sunfish, with the spines of its dorsal fins erect, lodged in its throat—but that walleye still attacked my lure. If fish can tolerate these things every day in order to feed and survive, then I cannot believe that the prick of my hook is cruel in any way.
oh and nets are for wimps. get in there and grab the bottom lip. |
