My experience back when I used to comm the back beaches was that I found that for every 3 hours I had a fish laying on the beach, it lost about a pound, but never more than 3 pounds. That was just laying in the sand. ...But you could get a bout 3 pounds of sand eels down ones throat... People Ice fish????
AAhhhh, good ol Pilgrim Springs. The tubs there were good for eel tanks too......
Remember one of my cohorts back then had a 48 he was going to mount. The mounter guy said to keep it cold, but not to let it soak in water. He said to lay it on top of ice with a wet towle. Somehting about it damaging to the scales for a skin mount soaking once the fish was dead.....
