- Iki Jime works well if you are looking for a humane way to kill the fish you catch or if you are simply looking for a great way to ensure that the fish you harvest will taste the best they can.

I also have a Facebook page if you want to leave me a message or keep up on more of the life of a guy making a living doing what he loves to do! Making videos. Fishing. And living on the water!
Thanks for watching - Sport
fish definetly have feelings. i once told a pike i loved him and he cried a little
lol
yung squa lol
and then it immediately cannibalized a younger member of it's own species.
>_>
yung squa a
yung squa ohhh
Having watched this, I feel like a fish serial killer.
SWFL Anglers feel the same, every time I watch porn, how can I call myself pro life? The shame.
Same here✌🏻😂😂
SWFL Anglers Now THAT'S funny!
Thanks for the video. This was very helpful. I've always felt a little unnerved with my haphazard methods.
Robsflyingace now THATS corny
A quick, skull crushing blow from a hammer is much more efficient. It doesn't take much skill or upper body strength. It even worked for my ex-wife.
David Margolis umm what?
MAYBE THIS IS THE REASON SHE IS YOUR EX-WIFE
Lmao
David Margolis okay but can it work on me too? Like just do it please
Whack on a Tree Stump, Rock, or my Boot, Usually works
First and foremost, I'm a fisherman. Very avid, too.
I believe all living things have senses, but more importantly, all species deserve respect. I've dispatched animals in many different forms, however, trying to give them respect and attempt to dispatch your catch as quickly as possible would be the right thing to do. For taste and or otherwise.
Don't kill it if you're not gonna eat/use it.
We're all placed on this earth to coexist. Respect each other.
Snowflake out...
f33rnofish I'm no snow flake 😂, but I agree with you 100% . Regardless of what it is , kill it humanely. My personal belief is that god put animals on this earth for us to harvest, and to do it humanely and with respect. If your going to kill something eat it. No if ands or buts about it. No need to kill something for the "fun" of it. Glad Someone else finally feels the way I do. Take it easy brotha.
one would wish others felt the same.
f33mofish, majority of hunters and fishes have your sentiments. It is those few that don't that get most of the attention though. Seriously people that kill animals or fish needlessly like not eating or using it some meaningful form pisses off your outdoors-man more than your typical PETA activists.
agreed
Right on. Someone who was taught properly
The spike in the brain method is a little too Goodfellas for me. I usually catch trout here in Utah and just grab a rock. 2 whacks to the brain and they're done.
dont forget to stab their heart after
so they wont become concious again for sure :p
Aren't you suppose to knock the fish out with a little knock on the head then cut it's trouth?
The 2 whacks to the brain method is a little too caveman for me. I usually catch bass here in Florida and just chop it's head off with a solid strike from my hunting knife.
Porter Rockwell edge of a Tree stump, on Rocks, or the Ridge on the sole of my boot, Hard enough and it acts like slamming a persons neck or head into the edge of a Table, Counter, Cliff or anything like that, it'll cause severe trauma, crack skull or break the neck
Same thing only i use a baseball bat... Kills it in one hit, no unnecessary suffering.
What if i iki jime my potatoes will they fry up nicer?
yes and it also help the potato population, because when they die like that they release more spores that create baby potatoes
How do you know which eye the potato's brain is behind?
Knowledge is power, most people are far too afraid to do some self research such as boiling fish heads to learn how to more effectively kill a creature humanely. Great info for catch and keep.
Power is power
I AM POWER MUHAHAHAHAHA
"Thankyou buddy". *Pats dead human's head*
Well done Marty, showing respect and care for the animals and plants we need to
sustain our lives is a wise habit. Extending these concerns to the wide world
around us is another way to care for ourselves.
Shit I'm gonna start collecting fish skulls now
If you do it right, they can be very nice art pieces. I have seen some very cool looking painted kingfish skulls.
I was thinking the same thing...
Russell Westbrook That's weird... lol
You know nothing Jon Snow
Very informative video with great editing, Watched it all, love the respect that you give to them. Thumbs up and hope to see more videos like this in the future!
i usually put them in ice but this seems like an efficient technique. thanks! Also really cool that you stay humble throughout your videos and success on your channel especially when it comes to some of the negative comments and being able find a solution.
It's always a drag to kill any kind of living creature, but as you say wer'e all gonna have to do it for one thing or another. Making it the most humane way possible makes it a little less tough.
PeTa practisces the most gental ways all the time
"It's always a good idea to give thanks to the little fish (pushes a spine through its brain)":
Him: "Thank you buddy."
Fish "...oh don't mention it. Any time, mate."
dLoLe my heart 😂
You sir are a scientist. You study your subjects very thoroughly, so that whatever you do, you do it very well having become an expert at it. Respect!
Great video Zoff! I really like the decor on the cruiser.
thanks for this video man.. I know exactly the video you are referring that created the outrage, I was one of the disturbed commenters. obviously the handling of the mullet in that video was a little cruel (fillet alive), but I'm not going to beat a dead horse on that, to be fair I don't think I've ever seen you do anything like that in any of your other videos. so I can appreciate that you took the time to make this video. 1) it shows you read the comments and care, and 2) it also shows that there is a humane and responsible way to put down an animal, even if your intent is to make it your meal.... I know we live in a harsh world, but I believe there is room for just a little empathy and human decency.
I do read the comments. And I have learned a lot from them. Even before that video. I'm also a fan of reading folks like Hemingway. His characters always seemed to have sympathy for the creatures they hunted and killed. Though a harsh, rough man, he also came across compassionate. That's a good way to live life in my opinion, though, these same animals we are humane towards, seldom show any respect for their kill (shrugs) Perhaps, that's what separates us? Perhaps that's what makes us weak? Hard to say for sure. But discussion is definitely a good thing. Thanks for voicing your opinion.
Good post.
Very good and informative show and I do beleave there should be some respect given to the catch also. God put them here for us to eat not to play with. I know a few vegetarians that wont eat anything that had a pulse but they talk and play music to there plants. Dose that make sense ? I wonder how that tomato or bean pod feels as its cut from it's vine.
Earl V Amen Brother!
I think plants lack pain receptors
Your boat looks so chill dude, thats the life right there and that mullet looked amazing.
Nice. Thank you for the uploads. This really helps.
I have a question. Why do some fish have worms? Like maybe 2 or 3 about one inch long?
Thanks
I SUBSCRIBED BECAUSE OF THIS VIDEO!!!!
*I am an extreme animal lover but I DO like to fish. It's relaxing and fun, but I was worried about how the fish may have felt during this process...
The guy in the video described and showed everything perfectly thank you so much for this video!!
-Juju
As far as the taste I have heard something a bit different. If you put the fish on ice while it is alive, the blood will be drawn into its organs making the filet cleaner with a better taste. You should do a side by side comparison and let us know!
Luke Robinson I would Ike jime my fish in the past but just dropping them in a saltwater ice slurry or frozen water bottles in saltwater is my preferred method. No blood in the meat.
Luke Robinson I heard they suffer that way
Excellent subject to cover. I have had this discussion with my 11 year old daughter. We fish together, but do not keep our catches for food because of her objections. I think your video would help to promote the conversation between us. Well done.
Just stop feeding her and she'll learn how to kill and cook a fish quickly.
zoffinger idk if you will read this but i love your channel so much i think im addicted and hopfully you will start to upload more, But yea your videos are the best and make me want to fish all the time hope you have great luck in next video :D and i might be making fishing videos soon!!!!
omg why with the sad music fish owes die at some point by someone xd
I watched this video trying to get over the five nights at Freddy’s videos I have been watching and your name and profile picture triggers me
the more you know lol 😎 I will be using that spike from now on
Bruh
Really enjoy your vids on CZcams please keep them coming. I want to ask you a question. I've been watching your boat update vids with great interest and I noticed around #17 that you have some of sort of slotted screen for the helm windows on the boat. What are they and where did you get them from? Thanks
Thank you for taking the time to make this video knowing that you may face loads of backlash. I am going to implement this method in the future.
Fish have very rudimentary brains, far from being sentient. They don't process pain or suffering in a subjective conscious way; they are just responding to stimulus. You cannot empathize with a fish's experience. I would suggest you save your compassion for whales, apes, pigs, etc. that may have capacities for intrinsic value.
lol I forget pigs are smart, now I feel bad from my breakfast
Yes, imagine having your consciousness completely shut off, with all of the parts of your brain that make you associate you as yourself removed. If your body was then tortured, even though your brain is still receiving the messages, there would be no 'you' to experience the pain. The parts of the brain that make pain bad are parts we do not share with fish. It would be like torturing a tree, or non-conscious robot.
Please note my arguments here are specifically for fish.
Jon Excellent read and very informative. Thank you!
Rudimentary or not, being respectful and ending its life quickly is the way to go man.
omg feelings! I feel hungry now gonna eat some fish.
thought u were doing this full time why so few vids?
Its hard to get by on only 100k subs with a few virals. Hes probably got some small gigs on the side!
Its good for him to know that we want more content though! I have yet to find a better fishing channel on youtube.
u assuming doesn't answer shit... let him speak for him self..
I think he's doing stuff for Pelican. He's modifying a lot of kayaks and other stuff and basically helping them design better stuff. Like the kayaks he modifies get modified by him, using his techniques and ideas, and then he helps the engineers figure out how to put that stuff on their kayaks to be sold
Look out swimmer. If you make common sense assumptions, this whiner just wont accept it!!!
Sorry PHISHIT, he probably doesnt have time to answer autistic questions like yours. Sorry you cant put 2 and 2 together. Maybe one day!
Does this method work for every species? Is the eye socket generally vulnerable enough for some of the tougher species, such as spotted gar?
thank you for being respectful and informative.
But it's okay to eat fish
'Cause they don't have any feelings
That's true for most people.
There are a lot of misconceptions about sentience and emotions. I'm sure a lot of people will not want to believe me on what I'm about to say. All animals with central nervous systems are in fact sentient. Contrary to popular belief, sentience does not mean having a humanoid brain capable of doing calculus. All animals, from your pet goldfish, to humans, are sentient. They also do have emotions. Emotions are an inherent, emergent property of multicellular organisms with nervous systems. They are what let you process environmental stimuli and react accordingly. I think a lot of people have this romanticism about what emotions are. Obviously a fish doesn't have as complex thoughts or cognitive processing as a dog. Nor does a dog as a human. But basic emotions and sensations such as fear and stress are FUNDAMENTAL for the existence of organisms like fish and us. There are in fact numerous studies and field observations that prove animals such as fish have basic emotions. The majority of animals have the same neurotransmitters and types of receptors as we do. Whether or not fish feel pain is ambiguous. One new study from J D Rose, R Arlinghaus, et al., proposes that fish do not really feel pain the way we do. However, it's my own opinion that based on all the available information, it's still uncertain. A summary of the paper can be found here: www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/08/130808123719.htm
I write this not to tell you how to live your life or as an ethical argument, I am merely sharing information .
Adelina Del Rey Jesus Christ I found an essay for school thank
Adelina Del Rey Thank you for that I really hate when ppl say that fish can't feel pain its so stupid
But it's a FISH... it's PREY... remember the food chain? There would be no lions on the planet if they didn't inflict predation upon their DESIGNED source of consumption. The liberal 'know it alls' love to preach to those who are still in touch with the original Man. It's about KNOWING the magnitude of what you are taking from the ecosystem and doing it with efficiency, respect and gratitude.
@@rustyshackleford3647 there's no reason for buts. He's just stating a fact
Very informative video, I'm all for a quick dispatch and the only way you learn how to do it properly is by practice. Question though, you don't mention bleeding any of the fish which is also part of the practice in Japan and here as well to improve the flavor and quality of meat. How does that work into the process?
Marty, i got to give it up to you man, you made a whole video just on the comments of a couple of people. Thats why i watch your videos, even though i saw nothing wrong, you felt compelled to address it :) Keep it up man, you do you and ill be watching! Tight lines brotha!
I don't eat fish because they are slimy... but I catch and release them
You're supposed to clean and cook them first.
That's like saying I don't eat steak because it's hairy.
So you hurt a animal for no reason... this is in Germany illegal
Adriano DePuta good for you mate
Nah you need it to be healthy
let this be a warning to the fish huggers. keep crying about not teasing fish humanely, and get more vids of Marty tearing apart fish heads.
Wtf is a fish hugger? Never in my life have I met what all you neckbeards are bitching about in the comments. All I know are fishermen who give a fuck and fishermen who dont. One slices up a fish alive, the other takes 5 seconds to end its life before hand. Never met someone who literally freaks out over how they are being treated.
The last video was a little fucky watching the guy fillet the fish alive.
Im on the less psychotic side of making sure what I kill and eat doesnt need to suffer any more than absolutely necessary. If that makes me a 'fish hugger' than Im glad to not have any psychological deficiencies. You should just call 'fish huggers' humanists.
Tree hugger, fish hugger. I'm a back woods guy, I don't approve of torturing a live fish or any animal. I hunt and fish and keep it humane, I just figured as many people were crying about the inhumane dressing of a fish, I'd put my two cents in.
really nice videos you have really inspired me to kayak fish and i really enjoy it thanks Marty!
You are an awesome guy!!! Thank you for putting out great quality content!!!! I've learned so much from you!!! Keep digging brother!!! Tight lines and God bless you!!
1 like = respect to the fishes
eh i just throw em in the cooler
Dalton you sick fuck
sergio mendoza no it's quite painless. They go into a trance first. Almost the moment they hit the ice. After that they die from rapid temperature drop.
Dalton alive?!
sergio mendoza fish don't feel pain, I don't think
Aqua YT yeah but they are simply to trigger reflexes as far as I am aware
Great video! I have never seen this method. Looks efficient. I have always used a bonker. A couple sharp blows and it's ready for the knife.
hey man....absolutely love your videos! you have and currently inspire me with every one. I just bought a kayak... I want your dream! cheers man! peace.
The best way is to leave the fish in cooler with ice and salt water for couple of hrs I think that's the best way to kill them 🐟
ammartm1 to let them suffer?
ammartm1 no Men
Actually, they go into a state of hibernation so they don't exactly suffer... and you don't have to feel the guilt in killing them.
The following methods are not suitable for killing fish as they do not result in a rapid or humane death: chilling with ice in holding water, carbon dioxide in holding water; chilling with ice and carbon dioxide in holding water; salt or ammonia baths; asphyxiation by removal from water; bleeding out without stunning.
this is disgusting ur interesting xd
I usually fish only when I catch and keep, I usually use a pair of needle-nose pliers and snap the neck by swinging them down they go limp right away, would this have the same affect as killing the brain? Or are they still brain aware for a few seconds?
Very thought provoking Marty! Good Vid as always....
Most that watch CZcams all day, will have something to cry about . Bet someone is crying about the poor screwdriver getting neutered. Does giving Japanese name give better feels? Brought to you by makers of "poking holes in brain" makes food taste better. Any know ancient Japanese secret to melting snowflakes?
Always sharing the legit wisdom; thanks Marty!
It's very cool that you took the time to do all of this. I hear both ends. And I gotta say the fish that are dinner tomorrow night died a slower death than this. Changing my game with this vid. Much appreciated.
Clean,quick and correct....perfect job. Looks like i am changing the way i used to do it...going to do it Marty's way from now on.
I've been a fisherman for many many years now and seeing others harm fish for no reason has always bothered me I've always believed if you take a life to eat you have to treat the animal with the highest level respect I'm glad to watch you're videos and realise you are the same type of person zoff keep up the great work on ur videos and always enjoy life to the fullest
Very interesting, Marty. I had never heard of Ike jime until now. I'm going to give it a go.
hi Marty I'm a big fan of your videos. I was in Sanibel for Christmas and was surprised to see mullet in the grocery stores. Being from Maryland, these guys are just bait to us. How do they taste?
Thanks for the info Zoffinger. I generally release my catches but I have turned a few loose I would have kept.
How do you catch black drum and Jack. I see the drum on the beach and same with the crevalle
Marty it doesn't matter what you do there will always be someone that sees something bad in it. What kills me is the fact that they watch it knowing it may bother them. At any rate just keep on keeping on. and what you showed people is compassion I think it speaks great of your will to please your fans. I use an ice pick myself esp trout that I keep. As always love your videos dude!!!
Hi Marty,
I too only take what I eat. If I don't eat it I don't kill it. I have had that rule since childhood. Now my question is I have always heard that letting an animal bleed out was the best way to kill it. By bleeding it out the chemicals you speak of are removed with the blood. Did you consider this method? I use your method when spearing fishing. I don't want the blood in the water.
Thank you! I’m a Wiccan priestess of a military open circle. One of my roles is to teach the children of the group survival skills, such as fishing. The first lesson is always about prayer, reverence, compassion, and gratitude for the life about to be taken. I always feel a bit hypocritical when it comes time to end the fish’s life, especially when it comes to catfish, because of the brutal way they must be stunned (bleeding out doesn’t always work, and it’s slow). I had read a bit about Ike jime...thank you for putting out this video showing how it’s actually done. When I was stationed in Okinawa, I fished with some local friends; I admired the reverence they had for the fish, however, I never saw them kill them; they kept them alive till they got home. You did a great job with this video; it will be used in my lessons. I think it will also weed out the less serious students, too ;)
I've actually wondered about this for awhile. Thanks for the video!
Great video and nice technique. Do you bleed out the fish after the brain spike? I heard that the fish taste better if it’s bled out.
Definitely very interesting. I've also heard that cutting the gills and allowing the fish to bleed out tends to enhance flavor, especially on darker meat species. Never tried either tactic, but will definitely give both a try the next time I decide to keep a few for the skillet!!
Great video I'm going to try this next time. I dispatch all Fish I'm keeping. Have you or any one tried to put the wire through the eye to sever the spine right through to the tail.???👍👍👍
Thank you for covering Iki Jime, especially on the sheepshead. I like to bowfish and after they are hit it is good to do this to settle them down and keep good quality meat.
I usually just drop my shoulder on the fish, works 60% of the time every time.
Well done Marty. Excellent video!
Thanks for the video very comprehensive and informative, exactly what I was looking for :)
Great information! Thanks for sharing!
I give you props for addressing an issue that was brought up by your viewers - even though the person who committed the horrible, awful crime (sense my sarcasm) was a different CZcamsr than yourself. And for the record, I agree with you and I think this is a great way to humanely dispatch a fish. Oh, I would love to see more "catch & cook" type videos!
i love your videos it got me back into fishing for me its hard to go sea fishing because i live so far inland i love the way you used a meme to talk about killing a fish ...and to address your fans who do not know how to kill a fish i wish i had the opportunity to fish like you do.. i am from south Africa from a Small commute town called vaal park and we mostly have one river around us
what a great video and very educational I've learn something new. 👍👍👍👍
great video man. love the advice, i did need it. thanks so much!
Does it have to be a spike or can I use a knife as well?
just found your videos. love them ... might as well think about what you are doing. thanks for sharing.
I appreciate you giving thank to the fish... it’s something I do to any fish and/or animal that I harvest. This will be my go to method from now on.
Question: Do you do this immediately, or keep them in a live well when fishing?
Marty that was pretty cool that you could do that very good idea and i learn alot form all your videos Keep It Up My Fellow fishermen!! Tightlines!!
I was always taught just to club it in its head to instantly knock it out and insure no pain. Does that actually work humanely or not?
Great video and great information. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this explanation. Very informative and for a non-fishin guy like myself it will probably help me decide to actually learn to fish one day soon.
were any of those fish legal size? (the baby mangrove snapper, baby sheepshead, and lil red...)
I preffer cutting the gills from both sides and bleeding them to death. Blood gushes out pretty fast and one blood is out heart stops pretty soon. Putting a spike through the eyes is a bit gorey for me. I don't think I'll be able to do that.
Thanks for sharing this. It was educational and inspiring!
Great topic--thanks for sharing.
Interesting video. Thanks Zoffinger!
Thank you for showing this. Crazy thing is I took 2 bass home for someone who wanted to eat them and I'm normally always catching and releasing. As a kid I had a puppy pounder and was quick to end a rainbow trout but today trying to end these bass was well kinda tramatic for me. This vid just showed up randomly so coincidental but I wish I saw it yesterday it would have helped. RIP smallies from earlier today.
Do u keep the heads to boil for the dogs to eat
Looking a bit tan there Marty? You remembering to get the SPF 55?
good vid Marty. I like to show repect for ANY life and even thank a fish on eating or release even if its just mental. Keeps me from becoming callous. But, there is an order to things in this life and its ok to kill then eat the fish. I like your approach. Tight lines
nice video Marty. it was cool to see the anatomy if the boiled skull. all make it easier to dispatch in the future. now I wish I had some fresh fish to eat.
Nice video Marty keep up the good work 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Love your videos brother. I'd love to fish with you next time I'm down your way
I saw this technique yesterday (in your video of course, Marty) and I went to sleep. Just had a dream where I performed Ike jime to a fish and worked perfectly xD, hope it'll work like that in real life! thanks for the awesome video. And despite fish have or don't have feelings I really prefer to make it quick.
Dude... do us all a favor.. don't watch any Jason movies!
Wait, so the best way to spike the fish is through the eye right? Or can I spike it anywhere else?
Interesting info. One quick rap at the base of the skull with a pair of pliers is my usual method for trout, suckers, etc. They convulse for a few seconds, then it's lights out. I think the spike would work better on some species, especially those with more of a sloped head (like bream).
Plus, it'll give me a quick shop project to work on. :D
Thanks for posting, keep 'em coming!
I know you don't catch many catfish but I was wondering if it's the same process for them or is I should just put them in the cooler and wait
Grant Guillote - when I was a kid I had an old uncle who raised catfish. He would cut a little slit near the back of their skull and insert a thin piece of fence wire into the spine and run it all the way down the spinal cord. The fish would instantly go limp and stop struggling. It was as humane as it could be.
Just started doing this myself. This is very simple and humane and frankly sensible. I’m still looking for some info on fish I catch to make it easier and quicker -notably snook, pompano, and redfish...
Great video! Do yourself a favor go to tractor supply co or a feed @ tack store and get yourself a rubber stall mat for roughly $24.00 They come in 2 sizes and can be cut down also. . Use it to set your anchor on so the anchor is not gouging your deck. You can also use it or a piece of it to lay your fish and bait on. In general they make great work surfaces for many projects.
And this my friend is why I dig your vids.
I wonder should we destroy the marrow also? I did the brain destroy with small fish, but with big one like red, I use a big needle head( the one use for BBQ and Turkey cooking or Grouper extract air) stap in to the brain of the fish then use a long metal wire run in to the needle and go all the way to the fish tail. People said eventhought you destroy the brain, the marrow stills keep the body of the fish "alives" for few minutes that make the muscles can not relax, cause the meat taste ACRID.
