How long can a fish survive outside of water?

there is a fish that can walk on land but I don’t know how long or the name of the fish.

What kind of fish?

@pouncey I’m not talking about SuperFish.

@juwhite1 Correct.

@dunkin_donutz thats the name of the fish?

@pouncey Only when he’s wearing his cape.

@dunkin_donutz oh never mind now i want to know the name of the fish.

Sometimes when I get home after a fishing trip they are still alive about 3 hrs I catch them.

Mudskippers – and friends!

@pouncey African Lungfish

how long can you live without air ?

As long as it can hold its breath

it is crazy but true a walking air breathing fish

@master_mind413 caught one of those before! crazy looking buggers

Besides putting live bait on a fish hook that’s the 2nd thing that is difficult about fishing,
watching them struggle for life. Sometimes it’s more than I can bare.

I’ve had perch live for over five hours. I brought some home, put them in the sink to wash and they started swimming around. Freaked my freak.

@ JessicaisinLove – I whack them on the head as soon as I catch them. But if the truth be known, I usually turn them loose and buy fish to eat. I love to fish but I hate murdering them so I would buy ones that are already murdered!

I know, I know, I am a chicken hypocrite!

I had smacked mine also. Still survived somehow. I usually let them all go, also. That was the last time I kept one.

Good for you stevenb, we can all be chickens together!
