If trout suffer keen anguish while being "played", what do they suffer with? Not with any such brain or nervous system as ours!

Odell Shepherd
Thy Rod and Thy Creel [1930]

Obviously, someone had complained that fish felt "keen anguish". Why else would Odell have said this? Surely PETA wasn't around 74 years ago.
