If you want to share humane methods to put your catch to sleep, or can enlighten us as to why it doesnt matter about just throwing them into a bucket, we may all learn something.

Mackeral donger does the trick nicely

If there legal and going to be kept, killed strait away and into a slurry.

Donger on the head, lop the head off or straight into a slurry. All those methods work quickly and humanely.
Catch and Release only for me! But if I was chasing a feed I would kill it straight away and put in a ice slurry. If you leave the fish alive it will naturally stress and increase the lactic acid output therefor deteriorating the condition of the flesh.
I use a Ikajimi (Brain spike.) causes instant death ( well thats what it says on the packet). Seems to work well. Plain old cutting their throats works fine too.

There was no option to vote for 'Kill it slowly after torturing it and feeding it it's own eyes'.
Fishinmissin,
Is that the "Ikajayi", they wouldnt let me buy one of those so I had to get the Ikajimi.
Cheers

How do the ikajayi things work?
Sounds interesting.

At the time of writing the poll shows 23 people saying they humanely kill their fish. What is humane?

We know you are only joking, keep up the good work.
With regard to taking a fish's life I would consider 'humane' to be: kill quickly without prolonged suffering.I usually cut the throat. It is quick and bleeds them nicely. What do you consider to be humane Derek? Perhaps there is more than one interpretation of the meaning of the word?
Dave
To be quite blunt, running a steel hook into a fishes mouth or gullet and dragging it to a beach or boat and then taking a knife and cutting it's throat is, in my opinion, nothing different than what the Japanese were doing to the dolphins in that video in the other post on Dolphin Slaughter.
No wonder PETA have so much success at having things banned.
Derek
ahhh..but Derek..how do PETA kill the animals they do humanely?
Saphire,
Ask Jay aka Fishinmissin about it ? apparently its some sick way of torturing fish by forcing them to eat their own eyes. On the other hand an Ikajimi is a pointed metal spike with a handle that you simply thrust with murderous force straight into the nice little fishes skull causing instant death. Hope this helps.
Cheers
James
