Do you wait to bleed your tuna until you get back to the dock or are you just cleaning. Either way, looks like you did good!

we usually bleed them on the deck of the boat for a few minutes immediately after stunning them with our bat. we try to get all the blood out before we throw them in the box (helps maintain our ice stock).

BUT, when you have 4 fish on and there are only 3 people on the boat, sometimes the fish get cut and thrown into the box while they're still bleeding and wiggling.

oh well...it's a good problem to have.

here was our briny box that got pumped out. it looks like we don't have enough ice, but that bloody water was so cold it burned my hands immediately.
