I've been reading a bit on proper care of fish prior to eating,mostly the act of bleeding the fish.I fish from a kayak,and toss my fish directly into a cooler of ice when I catch them.
I often fish daylight till dark,of course all the fish have expired by the time I arrive home.Whats everyone's thoughts on clipping the gills then icing them,vs just icing them,vs a bait basket to keep them alive at least while on the water?
I have lots of idle time right now,so I'm using it to rethink my strategy until I can get back on the water,thanks.
