It is so that you can “bleed” a big catfish before you skin or fillet it. It is supposed to make the big ones taste better. I always throw the big flatheads back anyway.

Was that not commercial fishing regs cause they have length limits ? If you fillet live fish they bleed out fine without cutting tails off .
