fish game clip question

[SDTribal]

do you just hang it over the kayak? or do you just set it in your lap. I am worried a seal or a shark will take a bite out of my dinner

wherever you have room on you yak, don't let the dogs get it. Put the game clip on the tie it to something.

I think most people are only leaving it on the clip and in the water long enough to bleed the fish, and only when there are no dogs in the vicinity. Carry a trash bag with you if you are gonna put it in your hull. The dogs can do more than steal your dinner, they have flipped more than 1 yakker by grabbing a clipped fish. I think it is reason number 79 on why to have all your chit strapped down or clipped.

oh wow that would suck, where do you cut the fish to bleed it? and do you put ice or anything in the trash bag when you store it? thanls

gotta cut the gills.

do not put your hand in WSB gills.

I cut at the most forward end of the collar to sever the main artery and bleed the fish out as much as possible. While working on sportboats I pulled gills, cut gills and cut like I do and gill pulling/cutting doesnt even compare.

Need to do a couple of videos for the different fish types .

I wouldn't suggest that you carry ice in your kayak unless it is gonna be there anyway (beer cooler). If you think you are gonna want to stay out more than a couple hours after catching something worth bleeding, you might want to consider an insulated game bag.
