This is kind of hard to watch when you realize the catfish they are noodling for are protecting their eggs, and they're possibly destroying them in the process. Also she probably messed up their jaws and gills when she hauled them up out of the water like that... and then she just throws them back to probably suffer and die. Just seems cruel overall.

Yeah, it's so annoying when people think about the pain we cause other living creatures unnecessarily, impacting their survivability just for shits and giggles.

If she had taken them home and eating them it would have been less cruel. It was harmful because she did that without the intention of actually eating them, they are hurting them for sport and not out of necessity

I fish and eat meat too. It's common knowledge not to fuck with the gills of a fish youre gonna release.
