I've heared that thier blood doesn't clot, but idk forsure. I was just thinking about it because I've caught many fish that where the hook was on their lip they started to bleed alittle bit. If their blood doesn't clot then will they eventually die from blood loss?
Thanks,

Of course they can. Much depends on where the fish is bleeding from. I have read mortality rate on a tongue or gut hooked bass is 50%, gill hooked is 25%. Every tongue hooked bass I've brought to weighin has died. I wouldn't worry to much.I posted in another thread. Animals and fish have extrordinary healing powers.

of course they can.
hook one Saturday,got the gills. one side had a 2'' ribbon of blood that was dripping off his tail. i thought he was going to die put him the live he went on his side. one hour later he was swimming around and fine. by weigh in you couldn't tell which one was him.

it just water dilutes blood making it look like a lot more is coming out. saw a simple cut on a kayaker....looked like he was bleeding to death.

The way a fish's blood coagulates is opposite that of humans. We humans need air for it to coagulate. Fish, on the other hand, need water.

You are correct sir. Next time you put a bleeding fish in water watch him closely, you can see the drips of blood 'ball up' as soon as it hits the water.

You know that's not possible, if word got out to her about this, your wife would tell other wife's of this and every married man would be in the dog house

We can tell her, it won´t make any difference, in the best case scenario and in sothern style she we´ll say: "Gob bless your heart" in case you are right.

"God bless your heart" in southern English is a very polite way of sending you straight to hell as fast as you can.

That is so funny, when I moved down here from up north...I was learning the language of the south and was told the true meaning of 'bless your heart'. And the way they say it, you can just tell there is a hidden message in there!!!!
