No,but it's showing another living thing a little respect.Beating them up for no reason other than just being mad you caught one is just ignorant.

Now You Tell Me !

Couple of weeks ago the wife, boys and I caught 20 to 25 DogFish at 2KR out of Portsmouth Harbor along with Skates. Why didn't someone tell me about the spikes ? I didn't get spiked but I sure didn't let that tail slap around either. Holding it by tail and just behind the gills I let someone pull the hook out and put the little dirt bags back into the ocean.

Back when I was a boat guy we killed every dog we caught. Don't fish bait much now so haven't caught one in a long, long time.

I havent caught a single one this year.

However, in the past, weve killed them.

I feel worse for the eels when I shove a hook thru their eyesocket.. or various other live bait that we impale and send to its death..

I also feel sorta bad for fish in general that get hooked.
I sometimes feel bad for swatting mosquitos...

Doesnt stop me from any of the above though.

So I go thru my phases where I feel bad for dogfish... but they usually do not last very long.

No, I'd just rather not see the ecosystem destroyed any further.

But I suppose you think the exploratory drilling out on georges bank is a good idea too?

Thank the reps for slipping that one in the door.
