I know the law has to be the law but I feel terrible when I accidentally catch a fish in a way that I know it’s going to die, but I can’t legally keep it. Seems like such a waste.
Something will eat it, probably another fish, and grow bigger. Then the rest will breakdown into vitamins and minerals important for plant matter in the water. Nothing really ever goes to waste in nature.
@TiddyBlaster you’ve seriously never ate a bottom feeder? You’ve never had catfish? What the hell. Perhaps you think vultures come down from the sky and swoop in to kill the bottom feeders. Actually special needs
*These floats do what they say they do **enjoyable.fishing** recommend they come on and off easily and can be adjusted in seconds to adjust to the depth of the water you are fishing in. Used these with trout magnet lures and did really well with them in the stream!*
soild info but i was always told that moving a fish back and forth actually damages the gills and pulling the fish backwards cuts off the flow of oxygen to the gills.
Appreciate the video. Like hunting ( I believe) there should be some type of class or atleast video watching before purchasing a license. I don’t think a good majority of people are taught much before fishing. This little bit of knowledge can change things tremendously.
If the fish is hooked in the gullet DO NOT cut the line and leave it, hooks today are made to NOT DETERIORATE, there are proper ways to remove a hook from a fishes gullet or gills which I don't have time to explain on here look it up for yourself I'm sure there are lots of good videos on RU-vid
Fishing is one of the largest past times or hobbies and is a great way to get children away from their game console's and out in nature. There are thousands of video's on a number of aspects of fishing. When I was a beginner at the age if six in the north if Ireland I learned the basics and some of them lessons are just as important today age 44 years of age. Today age 44 I have two things that really bug me or should I say piss me right off so here it goes. First I would like to say 99% of fishermen and woman who fish are some of the nicest people you'd ever meet generally they go out of their way to say maybe help a kid properly set up his rod and line or show them what they are doing wrong. I mostly fish for trout,sea trout and Salmon here in Ireland . I am also in a number of online fishing communities and recently I have noticed this. Too many people either do not know how to handle a fish or they just don't care. Just like learning to cast everyone should take the time to learn how to handle fish . Ie: removing the hook in a way that causes as little stress and damage to the fish as possible. Too often I see video's of people reeling in a fish at 100 mph removing the hook real rough then literally throwing the fish back into the lake,river or sea. What has happened to enjoying playing a fish after all that's the part we all love. It good practice to wet your hands before handling a fish as our hands are hot and can damage the fish. It is also good practice after all the above has been done to return the fish as quickly as possible but handling the fish gently and submerging it in water while rocking it back and forth to return oxygen back into the fish gills. This will ensure the fish has a better chance of survival and makes "you a responsible fisherman/woman. One more small thing I also take a garbage bag when I go fishing I like to fish and here in Ireland some of the rivers and lakes are stunning but unfortunately not all of us leave the fishing spot as we found it. It doesn't take much effort to lift bits of fishing line and other people rubbish. Beer can act ect....these are small things but make a huge difference in this beautiful sport of fishing. Tight lines folks. And great video.
Francis Drake I always wondered why people let go of the fish they caught. Now I know why, y’all idiots. So here’s a few things I wanted to say *First:* You’re worried about damaging the fish because your hands are wet but don’t think about the giant hole you made in it’s mouth. *Second:* A « responsible fisherman/fisherwoman » EATS the fish. It doesn’t let it die in pain for no reason. You’re only making it suffer more. *Third:* What’s your problem with « game consoles » ? Gaming is a hobby as worthy as fishing. Granted kids shouldn’t only do that but that’s the same for every activity.
so i don’t have a dad to teach me fishing but im going with my sisters and we are all fools so hopefully i catch a fish and release it without hurting the fishy.
Don’t handle bass the way the guy does in this video. For the same reasons netting fish is bad, It takes off their slime which they need for protection
I used to do catch and release. Drag the poor sucker around by the lip until he gets all gassed up with lactic acid, then take the hook out, look him in the eye and say, “I was just f**kin’ with you, buddy.” For me it was sport. For the fish, it was a life-and-death struggle.
I mostly fish with intentions to eat them (I dont pay for salt charters just to throw them back) but do catch and release fresh water most of the time.
Good video but I definitely wouldn’t live the hook in the fish and release it. That is a horrible idea cause the fish won’t be able to eat normally any more and will die anyways.
And please don’t let your kids grab it. And your hands must be wet when handling it. Your dry hands wipe off the needed slime they need for protection.
Always look in the fishes mouth for barotrauma because If it’s eyes are popping out and its looking like the stomach is coming out it’s mouth mouth thats a pretty obvious sign it’s gonna die. People are just butchering the perch population in my favourite lake this winter because they don’t know about this or just don’t care. It’s kinda inhumane If you ask me.
If im in a tournament im going to net the fish and if it's to small im going to trow it in the water not lay it down. How do yall like your fish cooked
Jonathan Rueben More people need to consume what they fucking kill and not let it die for no reason. I don't think the “another day” it lives is very enjoyable with a fucking hole in his mouth. I mean think about it you literally lift the weight of it's whole body just with his lips/cheek/jaw/roof of the mouth.
@@noapoleon_ Well fish don’t have the same pain receptors that we do. They feel mainly pressure instead of pain which causes them to freak out when it doesn’t actually harm them
@@WillsLocalLawnCare yeah, exactly, when the fish is released it goes off swimming just like it was doing so before it got caught, mean king the fish didn't even understand that the hook went through, and a good fisherman will also make sure to do as less harm as he can when taking the hook off
@@realaurorien I’m not against fishing as I love fishing as a whole and never keep the fish I catch but your take is just stupid. Fish do feel pain as they have pain receptors and nerves around their mouth. you said “they swim off just like they did before” which is just stupid. If somebody pulled you out of ur house by the mouth with a hook and then let you go you would fucking run which the fish is doing. As I said I love fishing but ur just being stupid
It really depends on the species and how it was caught. Of course fish can feel pain, but if hooked properly with a barbless hook the wound will heal up quickly and it's probably more stressed from the experience than actual pain. You can't compare the soft lips of a human to the bony mouths of most perciformes.
It’s debated whether or not fish can feel pain, and I guarantee that fish experience worse pokes and prods on a daily basis living a normal underwater life, than your tiny hook on a very thin-skinned part of its body.
But fish do feel pain! Most of these fishes during catch and release die within 6 days of release! They also feel tortured and in pain due to the hook in their lips. A recent study happened on the same. Now the fish isn't being eaten, but still killed 😰
catch and release is the yankee way!! us natives never used such things as barbed metal hooks! we drained part of the river,gather the big fish and shrimp and crabs!! then released the water flow so the young would survive!!
I never understand the concept of catch and release fishing. Isn't the point of fishing is to eat them? No offense but it seems counterproductive that you trying to catch a fish then let them go once you catch them.
Some people see it as giving other people a chance to enjoy the experience they had landing the particular fish, or to keep the really nice ones in the population so they can spread their genes. It's also good to know proper catch and release for when you land fish that can't be legally kept or that you don't want to keep, lol. I've seen a lot of fish dropped/dragged across the ground/held out of water for a long time/deep hooked and carelessly removed/etc. with the fisherman fully expecting it to survive after...
that chinese fishing, i am chinese myself. many people just keep fish even baby fish. It sucks how there are no size limits, so all fish are just taken.
I don't mind fishing for food but never understood fishing for sport(catch and release). That's the same as trapping for fun, would you set up animal traps that cause physical damage just to let the animal go with scars?... Makes 0 sense, there are a lot better ways to have fun.
Never thought of it that way. I wanted to start fishing again, but don't want to keep or kill them, so I was searching for tips on catch and release. Guess I'll find something else to do with my time instead 🐠 😁
jesus is coming soon you cant just believe in him to enter into heaven even satan belives in him you need the holy spirit to be saved and be baptized in jesus name ..
@Un Softgunner I really do not know much about fishing... so I have a question.... I mean isn't it senseless to catch and release a fish?? I am being really skeptical... I can potentially be thinking wrong anyway
Terrible video. If you really want to catch and release properly then learn to keep the fish in the water at all times, either by keeping it in the net or tailing it. They just fought for their lives and are out of breath, and then you pull them out of the water where they cannot breath? Makes no sense. Keep em in the water and remove the hook from there.
Y'all 3 got triggered so bad LMFAO. Do you each feel like a big man torturing same poor fish each time you catch it? #SadisticGayShit ( ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ ) Meeting face-2-face to discuss differences in opinions = NATURAL WAY OF LIFE Rationalizing one's murder (esp. over internet) = autistic / β-male behavior Don't start another mass shooting, incel losers.
You need to take off the flat bill, change your affliction shirt, and cool the fuck down. Fishing is a *sport* you dumb beaver. Catch and release is a safe way of doing it, and many of the fish you catch can be too small to eat, and it’s doesn’t harm the fish if done properly.
