It's my confession I've been shooting and eating sea kittens for 20 years (not fish: sea kittens. In my immense stupidity I thought they were fish, but the sad truth is they were sea kittens). Only now I see what a cruel dumb ass I've been.

Trouble is, i really dislike cats! couldnt have picked a worse alternative name

Quote: "fish are complex and intelligent individuals. In fact, if anglers treated cats, dogs, cows, or pigs the way they treat fish, they would be thrown in prison on charges of cruelty to animals"
Is there any research to show that fish can feel or remember stuff? Perhaps there's a valid point there? i just assume that fish dont feel and die quick...

Anyway i'm off to shoot some ... Meeeoooow

There is no doubt that fish remember. If they didn't they would all be stupid - just like scuba divers think they are.

As for pain, I do not think they feel pain as we do. A number of years ago I handspeared a dorado (I had just missed a fish and was really disapointed when I got to the surface a shoal of dorado swam up to me as if teasing me - well I just grabbed the spear and handspeared one of 5.7kg) it slowly swam away is if nothing had happened. When I stot it again with my second gun, it went ballistic!!!! A few times since this, I have had times where a fish did not react afer being shot (nowhere near the spine). Only after the fish feeling the spear touch it did it bolt!
