This may seem like a stupid question to most fishermen and women, but since most of us also "keep" fish and do our utmost to keep them healthy and alive - I would like to know the most merciful and painless way to kill the fish we catch for dinner. I've heard that cutting their gills will allow them to bleed out in the live well, make the meat taste better, and is not painful for them.
Any other thoughts - or comments on this method? I love to fish and to eat it, but having a terrible time making the transition from keeping my fish alive to killing them for dinner!
