How to properly kill a fish?

I circled what I was talking about. I don't know what else to call it.

Looks like that thing that connects the head bone to the neck bone?

I knew what you were talking about, Kali. Just funny to think about a fish with a neck and a chin.

Kali,

Why you gotta pick a brown trout to pull his chin?

Break its neck, does the trick or me. Either that or just stab/cut between the fish's eyes, thats where its brains are.

What you can do is two things. First hit their head with a blunt object, sometimes that could be the backside of the knife, or a rock near by, or a small branch off a tree. Second, cut the gills where everyone else is saying, so that the fish is bled, and when you go to eat it, it will taste a lot better!

Seriously though, stun it with a blow to the head to prevent it from injuring someone or damaging it's flesh. Then snip the gills with a scissor or side cutter, as well as cutting it across the tail, severing the artery, which will allow the still beating heart to pump as much blood as possible from the fishes body. I don't always go to these lengths to assure the freshest fish possible. Sometimes I just don't have the time, or facilities, to do so. And it can be against the rules too. I usually place the guts in a plastic bag and dispose of them in a trash can when I get back to the dock.

Usually I just gut and gill them, which prevents any more blood, or lactic acid, from circulating through the fish. Then I place it on ice immediately whenever possible. I prefer to keep them from sitting in water after gutting & gilling.

Eat them fresh, do not freeze them if you can avoid it.

Hitting a fish on the head is too good for them.

Here is how I do it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7RjR4BewdE

Did you ever find the squid head in your utility pocket? I was hoping you'd do a load of laundry with it in there! I wonder who did that to you? :secret:

I wanna see you bite the head off of a catfish. Now that would be impressive! :shock:
