    Food for thought indeed. A fish flapping on the bank is almost certain to suffer head trauma owing to the C-shaped curve in which it flexes. Seems logical, but I must admit it's not something I've thought about before. It's just so easy to land a large fish by guiding it into the shallows until it rolls onto its side, but perhaps I'll reconsider in future...
