I just give 'em a bonk or two and then slit the gills.

You don't want to wait to long after you land them because their hearts will stop pumping You want the heart pumping so it pumps most of the blood out.

I've also seen guys, like Kramer said, cut a slit or piece out of the fish, I think right below the anal fin. They said it was the best way to bleed a fish.

Anyone that uses this practice care to enlighten us that don't know much about it? Like if you think it does a more effective job of bleeding the fish out.
