Uh... what kind of fish, and how do you kill them? I usually catch rainbow trout (which, admittedly, is probably closer to aquaculture than actual hunting) and then break their necks. They don't twitch or thrash after that.
Dikiyoba also "hunts" any creature that is interesting but not awe-inspiring, foolish enough to come close, relatively defenseless, and likely to be caught and released without harm to it. Dikiyoba isn't any good at it, but at least garter snakes are even worse at escaping.
I actually have no clue what kind of fish they are, because I am always with someone who knows what he's doing (and I don't). I caught those fish in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, and we kill them by beheading them.
