It is hard but I think their heart would stop beating and not pump the blood out? Interested in checking a vid on how you guys vac seal your fish though. Good video
Check out a Japanese method called Ike Jime. If you slice the tail it allows the blood to come out easier/faster. Spiking the brain and spinal cord destruction is also important so adrenaline, cortisol, lactic acid doesn't flood the meat. That extra 15 to 20 seconds of additional steps makes for a far superior fish even days after. Give it a shot.
Kill the fish first. Bonk on the head or penetrate the brain so no suffering. Bleed the fish upside down if you bonk it or at angles if you penetrate the brain. Slit the artery at the tail and gills (neck)
I like to bleed out the fish too, but not for taste but ease of cleaning. I know a few people who have done taste tests with bleeding fish vs not bleeding fish and they've tasted about the same. Still, I believe it's way easier to clean a fish if it's blead out. If you don't have a livewell the same thing can be accomplished by cutting its artery like that and placing the fish in the net or in a bucket. Bucket can get a little messy though because the fish will splash a lot while it dies, which happens pretty quickly. Thanks for the vid, take care!
Damn all those walleye ribs and cheek meat wasted🤦🏻♂️. The American way, kill for pelts, natives use everything. Poor fishes died for nothing but for two small piece of fillets😢.
Dude you snipped a live fishes artery. What kind of sadist are you? Just cut it's head off as quickly as possible. You don't want the animal to suffer and you still cut through that artery.
@@1surfpesca_ I'm a life long fisherman. I love catfish. People say catfish taste dirty. It doesn't if you clean it right. The meat itself is going to be white meat. You Don't have blood vessels/veins all throughout the meat so there is No reason to bleed a fish.
Cheers brother, I hear you I’m actually a new fisherman with a lack of an in person mentor… i dream of finally catching a fish and cookin it up… if not catfish are there fish you should bleed ? I’ve been seeing many people bonk em in the head then gut them, or knife/spike to the head then bleeding them… just curious brother, 🙏🏾
@@1surfpesca_ I have never been in the habit of bleeding any fish. It's just not taught around my parts. I was surprised to find this video a year ago doing something so crazy. That's why I was harsh when I made the comment above. Others may have a different opinion.
I would recommend to do a brain spike before bleeding the fish out it makes the fish suffer less and helps it stay fresh longer.
good info

Makes a huge difference! Y’all whacked the walleye! Nice catch!

Thanks for watching!
What type of filet knife are you using? Thanks for sharing. .
Its a Rapala Electric
I've never bleed the fish, and I always have a bit of blood in my fillets. I'm going to start bleeding.
I also do ike-jime 👍

How would this guy feel if he was left to watch himself bleed out from the neck!!
