Ok, I don't use live bait. I don't keep fish. And with the exeption of a few situations, I don't mind people keeping fish.
Has anyone else seen the people who catch small fish of any kind, even illegal fish, and pout them on the dock/in an empty bucket/plastic bag to suffocate? It's a horrible way to die. Has anyone ever stayed underwater in a pool too long and you almost start breathing with your mouths closed because you need oxygen? Or people who fillet/gut/scale the fish alive?
People beat the fish or bleed it. These are worse-looking but still better. Less suffering. Notice I said LESS! Best option is to quickly chop off the fish's head with a heavy meat cleaver.
Live bait: Is it right? Some people use worms, insects, larvae, but refuse to touch fish, Shrimp, Crabs, etc. Some people even use Frogs.
NOTE: If anyone regularly does anything listed here, I am merely giving my opinion on the topic, not on people who do these things.
