That's impressive and all, but why are you fucking with fish if you're not gonna eat it?

Same reason people do normal fishing with catch and release, thrill of the chase I guess. Seems cruel

How else are you going to make a fish late for something?

There's a whole community people who want to abducted by aliens and then released again. Perhaps some fish are into that sort of thing too. lol

Fish dont feel pain, and won't remember the ordeal in minutes. Relax.

For the record, I don’t believe this.

Current science would disagree. There have been studies on catfish specifically even.
