..."keeping a fish fresh"....

If you have confidence in your rope, keep her alive. You can't get much fresher than that. The rope won't allow her to breathe properly which in turn won't allow her swim bladder to function properly...and she'll eventually turn sideways/belly-up...but she'll still be ticking for quite some time, keeping the fish(meat) as fresh as possible. Don't go out of your way to keep he alive though...let the rope take it's course. Some may consider this cruelty, but let's not forget...this fish is being kept for a reason - consumption -

swim bladder = It looks like a balloon and is. It is divided into anterior and posterior chambers by a narrow passage. Gas is secreted from the blood by the epithelium of the anterior chamber. In the posterior chamber gas is re-absorbed. By balancing secretion and absorption, the fish can maintain neutral buoyancy at any depth in the water column..<<from the net

..yeah, my middle school science project was on the anatomy of a fish. I drew some great pictures...I think the A+ was more for the pictures than my report though

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
