Fresh or "old" can be 60 minutes or 4 days.......it's all in how it is kept...
A fish laying on the beach in the hot sun, or allowed to lay in water for any length of time can be "old" in an hour....
On the other hand, a well handled and iced fish can be fresh 4+ days later...
There have been times in my jaunts down your way that I caught and kept fish on Day 2 of a 6 day trip.....iced them well, being sure to keep them out of the "melt", drove back 300 miles on Day 6, and filleted them when I got back home, ate them on day 7, and they were as fresh as if I caught them in my backyard 20 minutes beforehand.
