That would certainly be the preferable way to do it. Finding a safe shot angle is easy enough in the places we fish, but we are almost always in a location where a gunshot will be widely heard and may well be reported. I'd hate to have a fish with a gunshot wound in the ice chest if that method of finishing them off is frowned upon by the law!

Lots of people shoot them to kill them. I don't think it's against the law.
