I'm sure you guys have read and or seen guys running a heavy piece of mono or wire down the spinal cord. Either after chopping half the head off or removing a plug at the top of the head.

I have never done this. But apparently it is to "completely" kill the fish, thus stopping the formation of lactic acid that destroys the quality of the meat.

Any of you guys do that?
