I have never shot a fish before pulling it in the boat but as a little ridgerunner child I shot a good many large mouth bass with a 22 when they were near the top. You'll ruin the meat I shot them in the head man. I had young eyes and they were close. We ate them all. The cheeks are the best part |

Quoted:
The last thing you want on your boat is a green halibut. They can trash all your gear in short order, especially a big halibut. Cobia are just as bad, if you can't shoot them at least brain them with a ball bat or something similar. I have a video someplace I shot of a boat captain shooting my buddy's 260 pound halibut, 2 shots from her .38 special before they brought it onboard then two deckhands beating the hell out of it until it stopped moving. This might be the fish I was thinking about, size sounds right. If you can't take the fish sportingly..... Don't take it into the boat...... You must have missed the part where I said the guide took the decision out of the fisherman's hands. That, and if you're going to kill it anyway, why not kill it fast? I'd imagine small fish like walleye suffer a bit on a stringer before they die. Once the fish is in a position where shooting it would be legal, if it's big enough to be safer to shoot than boat it alive, why not shoot it? It's pretty sporting bringing the fish to that point. ETA-It would also be more "sporting" to run through the woods naked with a spear and persistence hunt a whitetail, but guess what? My state doesn't allow such activity. They do, however allow me to attach a chair to a tree and sit in it, waiting for a deer to come alone, and when it does, shoot it with a .45-70 handgun. |

View Quote Mmmmm... halibut Those snake charmers / H&R survival 410/45 combos are incredibly popular up here. Pretty much everyone carries one for big fish. |

I see no problem with humanely dispatching a large fish. Even with smaller fish I will stun them with a steel rod.

Sporting, hell I slit any fishes throat before putting them on ice so the meat is cleaner and the blood lines are smaller. Mmmmmmmm tasty tasty fish

I took a spine from a channel cat in the leg one time. Just pulled it in the boat and flipped out of the net and got me before I had a chance to secure it.

Maybe I just haven't hit my thumb hard enough, but every time a catfish has jabbed me, it hurt worse for more time than the hammer hit. Either way, if the fish is big enough, and in a position where legal to do so, I'm shooting it before going hands-on if I'm not releasing it. |

So this thread is about weather or not its ok to shoot a fish before you bring it on the boat?
I'm not a fisher but it makes sense with the larger ones, just be careful you don't shoot the boat I guess. |
