These pictures disgust and sadden me.  Who can see the huge, blunt-tip metal hook piercing that poor fishes mouth and not shudder with revulsion and sadness at the pain it suffered before its death by torture. What a horrific way to die.  I often wonder how people can be so blind to their own cruelty.  All it really takes is to put yourself in the fishes place for a brief amount of time.   And please, no protestations that fish don't feel pain.  Aside from being completely untrue,  it's completely irrelevant to the fact that a life is being taken, often for "fun."  I don't know how people can do it.
