I usually jam my fingers into its eyes then rip the gills out with my teeth! If that doesn't work I will go psycho killer on it & stab it 49 times with my hook sharpener.


Has anyone grabbed the throat with their left hand & sliced up from the anal vent towards the throat (gutting the fish), then cut the kidney (back blood) while its still alive?? I wonder how it would bleed out if you eviscerated it like that & cut the gills.

I have a buddy that likes to use scissors on the gills. Says it bleeds better. I use whatever tool is handy.
