PETA are enemy, not friend.
I always noticed in animated movies wherein animals talk, the fish never do. Except for like; finding nemo or something.
To make you guys happy again (and it being thread related), a little trip down nostalgia lane. The Original Fishydance song; "Fish Head".

“Fish Head, fish head. Rolly-polly fish head! Fish head, fish head. Eat them up.. yum!”
don't fish feel pain but only in small amounts?
like why match fishing doesn't hurt them at all.

Don't they mean sea kittens?
Ironically, keeping a fish as a pet inside a tank with nowhere else to go isn't deem cruel to them. Which is why I keep land animals these days
this one time my friends and i went to petsmart and bought this goldfish and put it my friends dads tank and it got eaten alive by one of the parrot fish. the dad got really mad because of all the fish guts in the tank

there's a difference
this fish was a pet
So people impaling them with hooks, throwing them back, and doing it again doesn't count?

oh, another story. this one time, my friends and i were fishing, and we caught this blue fish off the coast of key west, and we stuck a hook in its back and let it go again. while it was swimming, this barracuda came up and attacked it and killed it. but we didnt get the barracuda :(

Don't cross the streams
No one should ever kill another persons pet regardless of what it is, or how stupid and insignificant you people think the animal may be. It's a persons pet.

Pain is a touchy subject with fish. It comes down to how extensive their nervous system is/brain size. There's no real way to tell when a fish is in pain because they make no audible noise.(barking, yelling, screaming, other painful sounds mammals make when they are hurt.(catfish can bark however.))They thrash around when attacked but this could just be an escape measure. Take spear fishing for example. The fish usually thrashes around once it gets hit. Then you have to determine if this is caused by pain or the fact that the fish is trying to get away.
Same deal goes with crayfish, A lot of controversy in the community whether or not they feel pain at all.
Fish may have a really high tolerance for pain, the initial hit being most painful. That would explain how fish can act seemingly chill after being hooked/swallowing a hook while fishing. It would also explain how some exotic fish restaurants can fillet the fish still alive and return it to the tank and have it survive as if nothing happened.
