A bleeding question - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hi everyone. I have yet ANOTHER rookie question actually a few questions.
I'm curious about how you bleed your fish, more specifically WHERE you bleed them.

1. HOW? Is it better to cut their actual gills or cut them on through the underside between their gills?
2. WHEN? Do you bleed them before or after you smack them silly with the club?
3. WHERE?... Probably my most important question... If you bleed them right after the catch and are spilling blood all over your kayak and in the water doesn't that attract sharks for the rest of the time your in the water?

Thanks for helping a rookie out.

Mike
