Now that's some great instructions...Nice to see that someone wants to take special care of such a trophy. Much of that same process should be done with any fish that you intend to keep, especially any that are on the oily side. Works great for bass also. If you're going to keep a bass, I know it's tough to stop fishing if you're really into them, but if it's table fare you want take the time to at least quickly kill, bleed, and get them cooled. Burying in wet sand works as does covering with towels and keeping the towels wet. Evaporation will cool the meat. |
