Because I'm an expert.


1. Fish are slippery
2. Fish stink
3. grilled salmon and garlic butter= totally rad
4. Jesus ate fish
5. Long John Silvers has yummy fish and chips
6. McDonald's "Filet `O Fish Fridays" is purely a scam to increase the number of Catholics coming to their stores.
7. Little kids don't like to eat fish.
8. A shrimp is not a fish
9. Real men eat tuna out of a can. With no dressings.
10. Fish like glittery pink power bait.
11. Fish aren't very smart.
12. Phish are druggies.
13. Fish have scales
14. Fish heads, fish heads... Rolli-Polli fish heads.
15. Fish tacos rule.
16. Fish eat worms.
17. It takes fish a long time to poop.
18. Fish poop is like a string.
19. Beta fish are gangster.
20. A tuna fish sandwich with cheddar and bacon on wheat is my ultimate subway meal.
21. Catch-and-Release fishing is inhumane because the fish won't eat because their mouths are sore after being hooked and then they starve to death. Go ahead, eat baby fishies too.
22. My cat likes Halibut
23. Fish don't breath.
24. I can make a fish face.
25. Fish sticks, macaroni and cheese, biscuts, and creamed corn is what my dad makes for dinner every wednesday night. Can't wait for tommorow night. Yummarific.
26. Mom's get pissed when you drive up to Canada to see your cousin and then you go fishing with your cousin and your uncle and your uncle has the grand idea to cut out the fish eyes and put them in a Zip-Lock bag and drive all the way back from Vancouver, BC to Bakersfield CA. It stinks really bad come Portland.
27. Fish don't play baseball. They don't opposable thumbs to grip the bat. Or hands, for that matter.
28. Live fish and a microwave= Will also piss off mom. Don't do it.
29. Fish oil lubricates your entire body. Blood vessels, and even your digestive tract. Helps keep you regular and smooth.
30. Fish are incapable of reading this thread.

number 21 is so wrong its offensive....

Fish jaw structure is comprised of mostly bone and skin, any pain they would feel would be minimal, strong pain is caused by cutting into muscle and when fish open their mouths to feed it opens in a manner that separates bone and muscle from flaps of skin, fish feed by using their mouth as a vacuum sucking in water and pushing it out their gills, creating suction, to create more suction its easier to pull things through a tube, its mouth replicates a tube, and to do so requires a lot of stretching making the majority of their mouth that is "Hookable" thin flaps of skin with no muscle attached.

You can hook it in other places however, but I assure you, the fish don't stop feeding because their mouths are sore, thats blatantly ********.

I've seen fish caught with several hooks in their mouth, and hooks do start rusting after only a short amount of time in water, fresh and salt (24 hours shows signs) meaning the fish had to have been caught several times in a very short period (24-48 hours)

I'm pretty sure the blatant retardation was purposeful, but there isn't a "blatantly ********" smilie to indicate it for us.

But he probably could have used on of these, :rolleyes: instead.

Im a little defensive when it comes to fish. I keep rare and exotic fish myself, i devote most of my time and money to it.

And the things i hear... omg, when somebody says something like this, some PETA freak takes it serious. You should hear the cries and screams when some people realize some fish will ONLY eat other fish, they can't be fed pellets or flakes like others... What about the other one's that like to chow down on frogs and mice (As they do in the wild)

I'll admit, most people find feeding fish mice for a meal is odd, but its nature, there are many fish that eat a wide variety of things, and to keep them you must really feed them the right thing.

idk, i spend like $40 plus a month on fish foods, and live food.

I've fished MANY bass tournaments. It's very common to catch the same fish several times in one day from exactly the same piece of underwater structure. They go right back to their ambush spot and resume the hunt. If they're hooked in the mouth, I really doubt they feel any pain at all. It certainly doesn't affect their hunting/eating routine.
