Fish can not feel pain.

I have caught many fish in my day that had multiple scar evidence of previous hook ups............ and I have caught many fish with other anglers hooks (and on few occasions - lures) still in their mouths.......... and I have on several occasions caught the same fish more than once (several more than twice) on the same day.

Do fish experience pain........ beats me....... don't know & don't care............ If I did I wouldn't fish ------ how bout you?
