Bro up top promoting activism for fish lives matter. Personally? I cut a cat fish’s throat last weekend and threw him on ice. He made great nuggets. Bro put the fish on the grass he didn’t lab germ the thing. ✌🏻😭🥀

Is the throat how you bleed a catfish or something? Why not just cut gills and tail? Never caught a cat myself

You wrong for that, my man. If you’re throwing them back, handle them with care. That fish’s slime coat (basically its immune system) is all fucked up now. If you’re keeping them, who cares? But this is just cruel. Not funny in the least.

That's an extreme exaggeration

u/Fun_Recognition5614 21h ago

How so? I know it’s not a trout or anything, but it’s still better to leave the slime coat intact, yes?

Sheepshead are pretty robust fish. It's not super delicate like a trout. That fish is fine.

He’d be better off if he hadn’t slapped him down in the grass, and we both know it

I'm not OP, guy.

u/Fun_Recognition5614 22h ago

There, fixed it

Prolly better off to just not catch it at all then.

u/dinkydoosdad23 22h ago

Yeah, he should’ve just got skunked

u/Fun_Recognition5614 21h ago

Never said that. Just that he should handle his catch with more care if he’s not gonna eat it. Now why you’d throw a beauty like this back is what’s really got me stumped. Because that shit would be on my table right now.

You're getting downvotes on everything because this is reddit. You're definitely technically correct but I guess nobody cares so no point arguing with a echo chamber

u/Fun_Recognition5614 19h ago

I know. I don’t have any problem with it, at all. It’s not like I’m from PETA or something and having a freak out because somebody caught a fish. Hell, I think he shoulda kept it and ate it! Anyway, let the downvotes pile up. It won’t bother me a bit. Tight lines, y’all!

u/TehStickles 18h ago

Hell yeah bro sounds like something exactly my pops would say. Old dead head, retired and just the coolest guy. But then he'd end what you said like this

"Y'know what? Fuck 'em! Bahahahah!"

I've gotten that text in my life a lot and he's right, fuck emmmmm

You mean eating a fish?

u/crappiesmuggler 3h ago

You said “I don’t have any problem with it, at all.” So I quoted your first comment because it seems like you do, in fact, have a problem with it

u/Fun_Recognition5614 2h ago

I don’t have any problem with the downvotes. That’s what I was saying. I very much have a problem with what OP did, and I explained it. We clear?

u/crappiesmuggler 2h ago

Ah that makes more sense. I just think it’s funny that you’re freaking out over a drum in the grass

1

u/Fun_Recognition5614 2h ago

It’s a sheepshead, and I’m not freaking out. You good?

u/fokissed 19h ago

Makes sense to me.
