According to some sources, there is an amount of pain that they feel. Other sources state that by fighting the fish for long periods of time does more damage to them then just getting hooked in the mouth.
The second one make more sense since a Bass will have several scars in it's mouth when I catch one but it is still alive and ready to do what it knows best.
Strike on impulse, hunger or just reaction.
Who are you to believe? The people that preach "Pain" or the people that let you know of multiple holes in the lips of a fish that was dumb enough to hit a different lure that wasn't familiar to it?[cool]
