To the learnEd herein,
While discussing my fly fishing and releasing hobby with a non fishing friend, I assured him that a very high percentage of (fly) caught fish are lip hooked where there is little or no bleeding involved ( of the fish, of course). His next question was interesting. He had often seen bait and treble hook fishing where the caught fish was bleeding considerably upon release. He wondered, as now do I, does fish blood have the clotting ability that human blood has?? Hmmmmmm..............???
