Bleeding a fish out - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Basic rule if fish is bled it will taste less fishy. Holding fish in a particular direction is not necessary. You "pop" or cut the gill rakers meaning just cut or tear one or more gill and the fish will pump out the blood. I bleed out yt, wsb, halibut, and tuna. I'm sure you could try a taste test on bass or other small fish.
