[QUOTE="Ready_fire_aim, post: 4044579, member: 50626"] I usually bleed bigger fish. Especially catfish. I think it helps the meat stay cleaner. Also I believe it helps things stay more fresh, in situations where you’re going to keep the fish in a cooler on ice for a while before fully cleaning. Again, I typically only do it on bigger fish. I’m not going bleed a mess of small crappie for example. Smaller/cleaner tasting fish just don’t need it in my experience. It’s super easy, take a knife right to their throat. That point where the gills join into the body on the bottom of the fish. Cut hard and deep. It helps to use a sturdy knife (not your fillet knife). You’ll know you got it when it starts bleeding like crazy. Then I toss them back in the water on a stringer and let them swim around and bleed out. As soon as they’re dead they go on ice. Some people bleed by cutting the tail off. That works too. But I go for the gills. Seems to kill them faster. [/QUOTE]
