If a fish hook is painful for the fish, why then have I so often witnessed?

SCE2AUX asked:


…a fish biting on the bait, then swimming calmly as if nothing had happened – until it reaches the end of the slack in the line. I’ve seen this happen many times in the clear waters of the Florida Keys with 6-12 inch grunts and snappers.
I’ve seen some good answers here. I asked this question in the conservation section as well. If you go there, you’ll see that they had some excellent ideas, as I expected.
