Jeez and I feel bad when I have to stick my fingers down the throat of a bass to retreive a lure.
Man you folks get up close and personal with your fish.
At least give them some pellet food or a minnow or something when your done. I believe that you at least owe them a good dinner or something.
Did you know anymore that many trout hatcheries don't extrude the eggs out? (Actually most private rainbow trout hactheries buy the fertilized eggs and don't bother keeping broodstock around) They actually anesthetize the fish and poke a bycycle tire needle into the cavity of the female and using low air pressue blow the eggs out. It's actually quicker and easier on the fish, which I once took pictures of this at a local trout rearing station for my local newspaper column. I got nasty comments from the girl at wallmart who developed them. She said we should be ashamed of ourselves for the cruelty. Another misinformed person that means well but doesn't have a clue. I should have reported her to Wallmart's management. I took reference pictures of the anatomy ear postions on dead deer once to make me a better deer taxidermist. When I went to pick up the pictures I got the riot act from an employee at the 2 hour photo place. I should have asked to speak to the manager as I thought this was way out of line to chew out a customer for what he took pictures of.
