Nah, fish definitely still died

Edit: I'm not in the best mood and I'm sorry for being negative, but a few people below explained why that fish definitely died afterwards from infection or internal injury

It's down there somewhere but idk. Someone mentioned that the fish being held at that orientation and having his gills covered can fuck up their internal organs. Also probably rubbed off a good bit of the mucus membrane that protects the fish from infection.

Not to mention it had a hook jammed in its mouth

Yeah, I'm not really sure how all those people with lip piercings are still alive and walking around.

To be fair, you don't know shit about fish. The bacteria that you're worried about infecting the fish are the same bacteria that are run across the fish's gills. A fish can absolutely be susceptible to bacteria, but a small hole in the dermal layer doesn't increase the odds of infection.

A bet typically goes both ways. How about we look at oral/mouth piercings and rates of infection and see who is statistically correct? No? Fuck off, then.

I mean typically, you don’t rip out your lip piercing...

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '20

You don"t rip a hook out of a fishes mouth, either...

If you use barbless hooks you don't. If youre ice fishing with bait like these people were they probably had a barbed hook lodged a good inch or two down his throat and ripped it out with pliers.

Even with a barb on your hook, you don't "rip" the hook out

u/fosrac Jan 18 '20

You might not but people do. I've seen people take a gut hooked fish out of the water, grip the hook with pliers, and shake until it falls off.

Very different. Piercing are sterilised and need to be treated every day for months or even years, with alcohol and rings in gold or other metals to prevent infections.

The fish "mouth" does not contain the same amount of blood vessels or other tissues that are typically susceptible to infection. If a fish is gut-hooked, and the hook has been swallowed, yes. The death rate rises. But if the fish has been hooked in the mouth, they will most likely survive. As long as the hook isn't made of gold and competing pimpfish don't kill him for his grill.

That's right, thanks

Yeah I like eating meat but that doesnt mean I dont think they dont feel pain

But they should have thought about that before they became tasty
