Default Using a priest

I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this, but just checking really.
What is the correct way to use a priest?

make sure the first blow counts, dont mess about with it the fish deserves the respect and such be despatched quickly and painlessly. hold the fish securely to the ground so it is lying on its belly, preferably rapped in your net for extra grip so the fish has less chance of moving. a quick strong strike at the top of the head should do the trick, repeat once or twice if necessary but do it quickly. there should be no need to hit the fish more than once if done properly, but mistakes happen.

First and foremost you need to phone him and check if he's available for the Service you require.May that be a Wedding,Baptism,Mass...whatever.As long as you do this you shouldn't have any problems thereafter.Ohh,and don't forget to tip.

If you're catholic they will do exorcisms too , but they like to be discrete about it.

Think about it, if your death was a certainty, and the instrument of death a heavy blunt instrument , in what manner and in what location would you like it to be applied to your person to bring about a quick and painless death.

Slow gentle taps to your knee caps , i think not ...........

Best place - a position behind the eyes that's equal to how far apart the eyes are. Done properly, one blow should suffice and I've always found it better to hold the fish off the ground to administer the blow. There should be no need to repeatedly bludgeon a fish.

Could folk who are going to chap a fish on the head, do it before they remove the hook please.

There is absolutely no point in removing a hook from the mouth of a live fish which you are going to kill and it's so much easier to remove it when it's dead anyway.
