Just haul them in fast and kill them fast. I used to have a fish bonker.

When you hook a fish, does it hurt? Yes, a new study suggests.

Some researchers have previously concluded that fish react to
painful stimuli without actually feeling pain in the conscious way
humans do.

In the new study, researchers gave morphine to one group of <A href="http://www.livescience.com/fish/">fish</A>,
and injected the other group with a placebo (saline). Then the fish
were treated to burning sensations that were expected to be painful but
which did not damage any fish tissue.

Both groups reacted the same, by wriggling.

However, the fish that had been on <A href="http://www.livescience.com/strangenews/050519_morphine_200.html">morphine</A> later went on about business as if nothing had happened. The fish that had gotten the saline were wary after the test.

"They acted with defensive behaviors, indicating wariness, or fear
