Fishing Talk
BobJoeJim:
While individual fish of the same species *can* look very similar, I know for a fact that when fishing in a river I've caught the same fish four separate times once (the hook marks were kind of a giveaway that it was, in fact, the same idiot of a fish). "Four" is not "over a dozen", but it makes me less inclined to completely reject the claim.

Fucking racist.

I went fishing with my grandpa a few times. A bluegill looks nothing like a bass.
I don't fish anymore, though, because my grandpa died and I don't feel like sitting in a boat with my two uncles that do.

I've heard this argument before. I find it highly doubtful and incredibly convenient. I know it's been studied, but not being an ichthyologist I don't know the extent of the study; however, I do know that feeling pain or experiencing trauma are real and vital biological processes. From an evolutionary standpoint it makes absolutely no sense to me to suppose that a fish can't feel pain.

Nah, this may sound cruel, but we saw marks from the other time it was caught. It was just one freaking stupid fish.
