Message: [QUOTE="Jay-Bone, post: 3536901, member: 5014"] I'm living quarantine life on a lake. I fished a fair amount as a kid, but haven't done it much in about 25 years. My fifth cast and first catch here the other day was an 18" lake trout. It swallowed the hook deep and there was a lot of blood. I released it but it still went belly up. Of course, my wife gave me the barbaric speech. I've heard the whole "fish don't feel pain". Is this still the prevailing thought? Can anyone convince me to go back out there? [/QUOTE]
