How to properly kill a fish?

[gavin310]

Sometimes when I catch a keeper and I want to kill it right away instead of letting it flop around suffocating, I want to take my fillet knife and give it a quick passage to the afterlife. Where is the best place to penetrate? I tried right behind the eyes on a barred surf perch and it didn't seem to do it. The next one I moved back from the eyes about 1/2" and it still didn't do it. I really don't like using trial and error to figure out my answer to this :evil: Does anyone have any advice?

get the back blade of your knife and give it a good crack on top of the fish's head, it always seem to do the treat for me. :beat:

The good ol head twist works great too ..

WHY WORRY ABOUT HOW TO KILL IT . TAKE A PICTURE ,AND LET IT LIVE TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY. OR USE A SMALL BAT THEY SELL FOR KILLING FISH ,AND GIVE IT A GOOD WACK ON THE HEAD . THAT WILL DO THE JOB WITHOUT BLEEDING ALL OVER THE PLACE..GOOD LUCK ,AND PEACE OUT. MIKE THE PMB.....

hahaha... sometimes the magic box method doesnt work. They still twitch a little. Trust me, I should know.

It's hard to respond to that vid without using bad words.
