Fished 6:30 to noon....only kept 7 sacs & one bass....mostly small ones.....probably thru back twice that many before I realized I was not going to catch any big ones so I kept these for a small mess....didn't find any sacs till around 10....caught a bunch of goggle eye and bream also.....shiners of course....I really like keeping them on ice for a day or two before cleaning.....not as much mess...

Way to go Mr. Bruce. Congratulations! Thanks for the report.
Very nice Bruce, that right there works for me. Always enjoy your sink pictures - you know that. Thanks.
Nice catch Mr Bruce. Thanks for report
Any details on how you keep them fresh. I've been really tired when I get home and probably should clean them the day after.Quote:

The way you're handling your fish makes them taste a lot worse than they should | NOLA.com
Finally a scientific answer. We all have our theories of what works best so it's good to hear it from someone who's done the research. Thanks for pointing us in that direction JR. Now to catch enough fish so that some of them make it to the freezer.

That will make a meal or two. Thanks for the picture.
Great article to help us move closer to perfection. Like imitating the lives of the saints (not NFL).Quote:

I'm going to challenge myself to take better care of my catch all though I've not eaten any bad fillets yet. More ice for sure.
I have a refrig. in my shop. I put my catch in a plastic container with a lid and leave in the refrig. for a day or 2 , until I'm ready to clean them. No ice needed. Been doing this for 20 plus years. I find them easier to filet, because they are firmer when cold and dry. "D"Quote:
