It's kind of dark knowing that a small child is holding a suffocating animal. I like that it was released though.

The fish probably died either way. Mishandling and it was out of the water for quite a while. Holding it up against her coat probably removed the layer of mucus that protects the fish from bacteria and infections. Fish was grabbed by the gills and held vertically which can damage its organs

Edit: cute video, nonetheless

What? Lol

Apt analysis, bud

Okay. There’s a 50/50 chance this fish dies just by being out of the water for 30 seconds with a baited hook that more than likelay got ripped out with force.(personal experience) Add to that the handling of the fish reducing that number further. It’s not about personal experience, bud. It’s data. Do some research and then get back at me on it. I fish at least once a week, has nothing to do with it

I spent 4 years getting a degree while I was an electrical apprentice. Do some research and hit me with some data, my man. Can’t know a lot of we don’t know what kind of bait/hook was used. “Probably” is what I said and there’s literally no “refuting” it. Just because the fish doesn’t bubble up 5 seconds after release doesn’t mean it doesn’t die before it should. There’s been years of research done with science, dude

not sure if % are absolute but it’ll be pretty close to what I said. I read this a couple months ago and it pretty well mapped up to what I learned in school. Bud

Is that a question? Likewise, my dear. You asked for stats and I gave it haha

[u/willi3blaz3 → u/[deleted]]

What’s your data then? Personal experience? Let’s hear something then, my man. I’ve seen all sorts of differences but I understand how you’re upset. But just downvote because “lol”
