hey just wondering if your priest is bought or home made mine is homemade that i made on my homemade lathe post pics of yours i will post pics of mine later.

Don't worry yourself with clubs, guy. Some people call them priests and go out of their way to get the word "dispatch" into a conversation about bonking a fish, but there really isn't anything sanctimonious or glorious about it.

It's a club. Fish gets bonked and dies - done. It ain't pretty, may as well stomach it and move on.


Worry yourself with how long your leader is supposed to be like the rest of us and leave the club out of general discourse.

My advice anyway,


Jon

What's the big deal if he likes to have an actual implement to bash a fish over the head instead of just using a rock? Some people like to use a priest, just because he uses one doesn't mean he's sanctimonious. Fly fisher I just use a rock and cut the gills out straight away and bleed the fish out. My Dad back in England used to have a homemade priest that was a slender piece of wood that had a hole drilled in it and then was filled with lead. Could see how this could be a more effective and humane tool than a rock but that would just be splitting hairs IMO. Once you've decided to pull the fish out of the water the most important thing to me ethics wise is not how it is killed but that this kill doesn't go to waste,

Mine does 



His "Church" is below the water's surface it seems.

As for the bonker, any nearby club will do

the best priest is no priest, but if you must a rock or a strong stick is all you need
