How to kill a rock

[Mikie]

Man, if it really bothers you that much - DON'T CATCH THEM to begin with. Otherwise, do what the guy above said - whack 'em with a club.

If I don't get out on the boat for a few days, my sensitive side comes out.

Icepick, right through the top of their noggins.
Same as crabs.

I use a small aluminum bat. One good whack and they are stunned / dead.
The thunk / ping sound is cool.

I then put them in the cooler and put ice over them. Each fish gets layered in ice.

I use to put them in alive and put ice on them. Often - they would flop around and end up on top of the ice - not buried under it.

Other way - just use stinger hooks - it kills them everytime

I knew if I kept my "mannow crusher" from the 70's it would come back in fashion again.

Marty,

Not that I keep anything I catch....But why not just take a sharp knife and cut straight through the gill plates ? They should bleed out and die pretty much instantly...

I don't think anybody wants a cooler full of blood.


Well, except for that weird chick we worked with at Sears for a short time....
