It never made sense to me that “fish don’t feel pain”. Like, even as a kid I didn’t understand why they wouldn’t. Who would be okay with a metal hook through their mouth? Even if they didn’t feel the same kind of pain we do (I’m sure they do), there’s got to be some part of their body screaming that things aren’t okay. Add on top of that the sudden inability to breathe and it really is just torture.

I like the idea of fishing (like relaxing on a boat with a goal) but I couldn’t do it

You could go out with the boat and try to snap some photos of fish, maybe feed them. That sounds relaxing as well.
