Fuzzy, it sounds like your the man when it comes to minnows. I have another way to kill and cure them for fishing. I put a pound of salt in a tupperware type container and then throw the live minnows right in to it. (dozen at a time) Then I shake them lightly to coat, they'll flop about and get salt all over and up in thier gills. They will die almost instantly, Now they are legal to use. I Like to give them an hour or so to toughen in the salt before I use them. If I'm going to store them at home for later Then pick them out and flip them into small baggies, and add a little more salt. You can set them over a layer of dry ice.This will freeze them in just a few minutes on each side like the big commercial operations do. The salt will cure the skin and toughen it as well as preserve the scent.
