True. Always wondered why PETA hasn't gone after fishermen. If we put a carrot on a hook, snagged a bunny rabbit in the lip, reeled him in, and held him under water until he drowned; PETA would be knocking on our door in short order. Years ago the Norwegians or Swedes found that if they electrocuted fish as soon as they were caught the fish tasted better. They discovered that when fish get injured they start producing cadaverines which make other fish that might want to eat them think they are dead. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadaverine As the fish die they produce more and more cadaverines. Electrocution stops or slows down the process.
Always wanted to try that with the fish we catch here in Florida. Maybe put electrodes at each end of a plastic cooler and rig up a circuit that will give a newly caught fish the right amount of voltage/amperage that will put it out of its misery. Some species of fish tend to develop a bad taste. Letting the fish die slowly might be the cause. ------------------------------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hendrik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sure as long as it is dynamite fishing.
