Jim, I put them on a gripper then cut thru under their gills like RI rh mentioned and hold them in the water and move them back and forth. I have had 1 fish (this past trip) not totally bleed out in years, because it did die instantly and I didn't move it in the water to help the cause. I did think that was odd, then put it in the box. Either method makes a world of difference in the quality of the fillets. Try both ways! And see what works for you.
