All this talk about regulations got me thinking about keeping fish, and what others do to fish before filleting them.
The only fish I know of that has to be kept intact during transport are Stripers.
Here's what I do-
Cod: I gut them almost immediately then toss them in the cooler (to me guts=chum, plus I like to see what they're eating).
Bluefish: I alway bleed them immediately if I'm going to eat them, then toss em on ice.
Stripers: Get them on ice.

What does the rest of the board do?
