Well do what you feel good with, but I’d recommend starting with the understanding that fish don’t experience anything
like what you understand pain to be. Articles that say they do are using a very broad definition of pain that more closely approximates the reflex your leg has when your knee is tapped by the doctor than actual suffering you have experienced.
But if you don’t like the idea of potentially killing for sport that’s its own thing and you need to do what you feel.

So your argument is to kill the fish, rather than to release it, because that’s somehow more ethical?

I’m all for people keeping medium sized fish. It does pain me to see people keeping the huge trout though...

Interesting that you had a fish swallow a fly. I’ve never seen that. 99% of the time it’s on the outer jaw

“Pain” and more specifically “suffering” exists in the mind (brain) and is only signaled from the nerve endings. Fish
