Pain = A form of touch(Is that the right word?). Everyone here knows that fish can feel it if you touch them or... I can't think of any other examples but Feeling pain is like feeling anything. Is your friend is saying they can't feel anything?
woah. it happens alot. things must suck for the fish. The stupid thing is that it would taste the same eatherway. they only do this for enjoyment. "cool im eating a fish while it is still alive!" Pointless

That's why when you hook a fish it doesn't spaz out. I still think the viedo is sick I could never eat something that is still alive!
This has been my experience, with no scientific backing:
I hooked a carp in the mouth, minimal fight, landed easily.
I accidentally snagged a carp in the back, fish flipped out.
Not sure what it means, maybe they don't have pain receptors in the mouth, but I think they can fell pain.
the fish is dead - i am a fisherman before a fishkeeper, and have caught thousands, and cooked hundreds.....
when a fish goes into boiling oil - the flesh (including brain,etc..) is cooked almost immediately - and whatever might be left, is just final muscle contractions......
as for killing a fish - obviously many here aren't fisherman......
the most practiced method of catch to keep:
1) catch fish
2) either tear with hand, or slit with knife the gill plate, and flesh holding the gills to lower body
3) led the fish bleed out
90% of fisherman gut (by using scissor or knife) the fish while it is still alive - which is the only way to ensure quality meat
my .02.....
and for all you steak eaters - i am guessing you haven't seen a cow being slaughtered......

they do too spaze out, and hit the air tryin to throw the hook. the same nerves for pain are the ones used to sense objects (feeling stuff). if a fish couldnt feel pain it couldnt feel you touching it or know if it ran into the glass or not. (i think i had a irridecent shark that couldnt feel pain though
)and fish can cry...believe it or not....its been tested...and if you want to do ur own test...get a catfish (channel cat prefered) dry it off good, let it sit for about 10 mins outta water (still alive) to let most of the moiture evaporate. then go about cleaning it.(chop its head off) and watch the eyes...they water and will start streaming with tears...after i tried that...i clean all of my fish in the sink or drink and make sure their plenty wet
that way i just forget and go about it.
