Good point. Since bass have be sold in the round, they're not bled. Post-mortem lividity sets in very quickly if a bass isn't bled. Red doesn't necessarily mean old. It means dead and not bled. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device
Yeah the fish houses look for cloudy eye balls to gauge the fish for the most part. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device
Just because bass are sold in the round doesn't mean they are not bled. I always cut the gills and bleed whether eating or selling much better for the end user. Many comm guys don't do this but it is the right thing to do.
