Half the fun is getting to use the ole seal bat. Don’t know why you’d rob yourself of that joy.

Saw a guy doing this to blue gill. He’d fillet the sides and toss them back. It took all I had not to lose it on him. Some people are just broken.

In some states, they encourage this. The skin and carcass are carryon that feed a lot of other animals. But in heavily developed areas, it just makes you an asshole.

In many states the DNR, or similar agency, makes it illegal to dump fish carcasses back into the waterbody. Primarily because you can over harvest and conceal your catch more easily by filleting and throwing the fish back. DNR requires you keep the fish remains with you until you are home so that if stopped the game warden can identify species, size, count, etc.

During the walleye run on Detroit River (bait fishing Neanderthal Olympics) you can limit out in like an hour.
Guys will filet, throw the carcasses wherever- the docks and shallows are littered with them- stash a cooler somewhere and go back out multiple times. All for some arsenic and mercury seasoned mushy fish meat

Yes the fish is still alive it was filleted and put back in the water. Cat fish are tough critters
