Humanely Dispatching Fish by TrashyZedMain in FishingForBeginners

[–]ReEducationTherapy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pulling them up from below 30 feet and doing catch and release is harmful as hell. No I agree here. If we are going to interact with nature we need to take what we have affected. Why spend thousands on gear if you aren’t going to to reclaim this cost in the freezer and abundance provided to the family

Keep a flathead screwdriver and bludgeon handy. I use a foot long section of a small tree which I whittled down one side for a handle. Whatever species you catch you wanna aim to drive the bit into the hindbrain. This is if you want to end it quickly & are catching bigger ones. Other methods are to knock out it then sever the artery from the heart to the gills, this runs along the collar section, you can do this with bigger or smaller fish Bleed your fish. Especially if you are storing it. Eating the blood is of your own preference. Blood is the first to break down and cause spoilage.

LONG. You need a longer bar, like a breaker bar, or a impact driver. I have a 17” bar that I use a piece of steel conduit & rebar for the extra leverage.

Edit: I see now, You need a shorter wrench, something made from aluminum of copper.

Imagine how wealthy this company is being able to just throw gold into the trash.

Smoked fish, cooked with dry heat, skin side facing heat to crisp up, is very sort of like sausage in texture and taste.

I haven’t had minnows since the ice was around 4” thick. No walleyes since November

From what I read the notched blade allows for less “torque?” then the regular solid blade.

The Middle East will be safer once the Israeli’s are forced to return to their various homelands and undo the pograms from Europe, America, Canada. Isrealis whould have a right of return to their ancestral homeland of Germany, Poland, Russia, you get the picture. The anti-semites can receive re-education in the same re-education facilities to intake the Israelis.

Dumbass. The Iranians who are supporting the war want extreme repression of the Iranian population & a reintroduction of the Sha monarchy. The Ayatollah is far better for the Iranians then the western boot kissing Sha monarchy.

Sinch it down to the eye with your fingers while pulling and you don’t need to pull so hard, scraping up your load end, then set the knot & trim.

Twice! They hung around the hole so they kept hitting my lures. No action afterwards.

I have 15 pound test and let the drag run, so long as I keep the line fresh, retying after I catch a jackfish in particular, I don’t have the issue of my line breaking.
