    There was a lot of controversy over my videos on this and other forums... because i smack a fish with a 310 gramm knife...

    it is killed fist blow and I only hit it a few more times to kill all neural activity...

    I would like to know how you kill fish...:D


    May it be by bending there necks back... to break... and gills rip and poo everywhere or whatever method you use...

    and by the way an average priest is only 120 gramms
    :)

    Once usually kills him but I always hit a few just in case, even if I think he's dead.

    do you think a 310 gramm short 160mm blade knife does the job? i.e 11 ounces

    Depends on the fish on how I dispatch them,- macks I'd break their neck by putting finger in their mouth and pulling back, others priest, others a knife through the gill cage cutting their throat and gills which also bleeds them, bit like breaking their necks.

    Has anyone ever used those spikes in the brain that the Japanese apparently use? They are meant to be the fastest method of dispatch and very humane.

    Dry fly, that knife you use seems very effiecient at the job - what is is and where do you get one?

    I didn't ask you to promote people buying knives.

    If it is your secret weapon used on your wonderous rambo fishing missions, you keep it to yourself, I understand. ;)

    you mean you do the Ike Jime ...... no its not a celebratory dance ..... ike jime is a technique for slaughtering fish by which the brain is spiked and the spinal cord is destroyed by a wire or needle that is pushed into the spinal cord ....just so people dont need to google......presume you follow on by bleeding it...

    seen a few videos on that and i think my fish get off very light compared.... depends on how warm it is though.... if it needs to be done it needs to be done.... messy though

    by any chance are you from japan...

    I use a priest I made myself. It's a big socket (you know, from a tool box, goes on a rachet to open a nut) full of lead that's stuck on about 10 inches of a brushpole handle.
    The weight the of lead gives it a nice swing. One crack between the eyes always works.

    do you only hit the fish once or do you do a couple or three for good measure...

    Not sure. The handle is light and all the weight is at the end. Much better than ones you get in the shop! My dad made it and it was so good all the lads wanted them!
    We made a great one one time, it was a steel big ball bearing welded on to about a 10 inch long metal rod. We put about 3 inches of wood brush handle at the end over the rod and a strap on the end. It was savagely good, but left it on an oar pin somewhere. Looked good too! The socket one doesn't look as good, but it's as effective.

    2 or 3. Once probably does the job if you have it gripped nicely and get a sharp crack on the head. But does no harm (the irony!) to give it another couple of bangs to make sure

    Anyone tried a karate chop on them or punching them out?

    I'm sure a swift chop with the side of the hand is as good as any priest... so how come no one uses hand-to-fin combat on them?
