Missing pectoral fins

I've heard that if you remove a trout or catfish's adipose fin then the fish looses it's homing capability (can't find it's way around anymore).  

Any truth to that?

First off that type of research would have to be done by paying biologists and we wouldn't want that☺! Hatchery fish particularly salmon in many states get the adipose fin clipped so that fisherman can tell the hatchery fish from wild caught fish. There may be anecdotal observations of these hatchery fish not being able to find their "home" waters. That may have more to do with them living in confinement part of their lives in poor or nondescript water sources and that they would not be able to imprint on that water source to allow them to travel back to that sources location.  Besides the Sampson effect that BH experiences☺ I doubt that losing that little fatty fin affects the fish ar all.

 Good answer OAF scientist. Mrs BilletHead is the BilletHeads Delialah. But in the poor trout case the adipose clippers are the Delialah MDC peoples.

My wife claims that if I have my best friends nuts cut off that he won't leave the yard and get into trouble anymore. 

I refuse to allow it because I'm his best friend too. 

She just wants him to quit humping his blanket.  

I wanna know which part of her needs cut off so she'll quit spending all our money.

I don't know of any studies involving rainbows at this time...

If I ever start humping the blanket that's probably what will happen.

I'm betting you wouldn't have to go that far before it happens.
