Hi Guys
Just wondering and not wanting to fuel the haters out there.
The other day the wife walked in on me watching Thinking Tackle episode, (Yes I know the shame of it all) right at the point DF and Co where showing of their latest catch and she asked me a question I did not really know the answer to.
What do fish feel when they are out of water, do they feel that they cannot breath, do their gills actually work out of water, is it really stressful for them.
I know I have always got my catches back very quickly but are we causing them undue stress keeping them out for photos etc. Do they feel like they are going to die because they cannot breath.
Thanks for any input with this delicate issue.
Paul
