Hello,
Sorry it has taken soo long but I am having an argument with my computer [blush] .
I would not try the heart cut because it opens the cavity , nasty things could get in there and ruin your fish . The rake of the gills , look at a rake , the fanned fingers that snatches up the leaves and clippings , that's your target the fingers of the rake . Same shape as the gills , that is where you would cut to blead out a fish . Another option is to do a tail cut . In your diagram you see how the vein goes to the tail ? A simple cut to that vein will also bleed out a fish .
Hope it helps .
What lakes are you fishing ?
