Think you need to take up some think else to do with your time if the fact of killing fish clearly affects you take up some thing less barbaric happy days
its not the killing Iva.... it's the Not killing .....
On many of the sea fishing vids I see and sadly where ever I've seen sea fish caught , they are given absolutely no resect I.E. putting them out of their distress with a couple of knocks on the head as soon as they are landed .. It seems that most in sea angling circles think it ok to mess the fish about howkin away at the hooks whilst struggling with a very much alive, aware and flapping fish. if a fish is to be kept surely it's both much easier and kinder all round to knock it first then perform deep surgery to retieve the hooks. I saw a video on youtube of a Norwegian codding trip from Sunderlad where one of the ''gentlemen'' lifted a fish out about 10lbs by its eye sockets.. clever lad .... I'd like to think he has the treatment returned one day
shall we apply the same rules for lobsters, crabs...mussels....maybe even plants?
i guess anyone who eats, uses, kills living creatures is in the same dilemma ...never easy.
still every carefully caught and taken fish from the sea is better than trawler or longline stuff.
i somehow refuse to compare the dispatching of a mammal with the one of a fish.
how do we know that slamming a fish dead or stabbing etc is "kind" and better than any other method.
lobster lovers around the world argue what is the "nicest" way to kill them...and surprise surprise nobody knows really
i would say, leave it with evryone and stop lecturing...maybe holding a coalie in the eyesocket is a very good way of holding them? Some say that grabbing them by the gills is awful...its their lungs !!
"It's ok to eat fish, coz they don't have any feelings" - K Cobain
The study of James D. Rose, a professor of zoology and physiology at the University of Wyoming, has concluded that awareness of pain depends on functions of specific regions of the cerebral cortex that fish do not possess.
If fish can't feel pain, can crabs feel pain or lobsters, mussels, periwinkles? if they really can't then your point is moot neefish.
If fish etc. don't feel pain why do crabs nip as a form of defence?
It's all subjective as to what 'pain' is.
So I would rather remove all doubt and kill my fish quickly.
100% agree with you here mate. Treat a fish with as much care as possible if putting back and kill it when keeping. Can't see any other reason why anyone would do otherwise

Based on that logic, we need to kill lobsters, mussels, crabs at sea
I personally despatch my fish quickly its what I was taught by my father when fishing as a lad imo its the right thing to do but not everybody will and that's fine everybody to there own

ALL I'm advocating is kill keepers as soon as landed
