When I was a kid, I asked my father if catching fish on a hook hurt them.

He reassured me that they have no feeling around their mouths.

It was only as an adult biologist that I understood that this is nonsense & the mouth parts of fish are the most sensitive part of their anatomy - for feeding.

I've never fished since that realisation.
