what do you guys do after you catch your keeper, i was told cut through the gil plates grab the tail and give a few shakes bleed the fish then onto ice. seems letting the fish sit on the beach till ready to go home is the norm, sad to see those fish gasp fo air and slowly die i rather cut them and get it over with. plus i think the meat is better and fish dies quickly rather then long suffacation. what do you guys do?
