Use them as bait.
i usually kill them with a quick stap behind the eye, into the brain, with my pocketknife. some freeze them alive, i dont like that idea much
I tried a pocketknife behind the eye but it kept on flopping.
theres a certain point you gotta hit, sometimes a quick twist works well. some people bash in their heads too
now were getting into ethics with fish....dear jesus
Just throw them in a cooler of ice and be done with it! Jeez!
I just hit them in the head right in between the eyes, that is if they survive the trip home from the lake in the cooler.
Put the fish on ice and they fall asleep
Put them in the ice chest with a mixture of ice and water and the Good Lord will call it home. Every time.
I agree with WAM.
ok thank you for the answers
WAM said it best.
1 inch steel pipe and a good blow to the head, then quickly fillet it, then they get tossed in the composted, they don't live long after the pipe.
scratchgolf72, you are soooooooooooooooooo right
Yeah I think a quick blow to the head is the best. Or theres a blue heron sometimes where I fish but I dont think I'd get the fish back.
Wait I know the best way, my chihuahua when she wants to bite anything. Shes made my hands bloody.
Just kidding
You have a pet rat?
duck killer that made my day haha
Yeah its preety much my moms dog.
Eat it!
I have never heard this question raised before, except for lobsters, where the question comes up about the humane aspect of their being boiled alive.
I think there is some dispute concerning the difference in flavor depending on whether the lobster is dropped into boiling water or slowly boiled alive.
Some chef recommends that the lobster should be killed first by piercing the skull just behind the eyes with a sharp pointed knife.
99 I have eaten lobster fresh & frozen, hard to tell the difference.
I kill the bluegill by using it as bait for nighttime catfishing.
Moishe,
I can't tell the difference either, but I have never made a side-by-side comparison test. I am also not a lobster connoisseur either.
And I prefer lobster salad, because I hate wearing those silly lobster bibs, and find the whole lobster-eating experience much too labor-intensive.
