I use to be concerned about a humane (or should I say "fishmane") way of killing a fish that I am taking home to eat. I invested in one of these bats to help with the thumping of them but I never did use it for that. (I think my wife confiscated it thinking it was a bed snake bat.)

Because I use to thump them on the side of the gunnel. But that seemed just too messy.
I have often wondered if a .22 short to the head would be a good idea. But that, of course, has its many dangers so I won't be doing that.
I think that to slit one or all of the gills and let them bleed out is a very good way to kill them. Apparently, that also helps to reduce the "fishy" taste too.
As far as freezing to death on the ice, that is probably a pretty good way to die.
I am curious to see what others write here.
Now, just where DID that bed snake bat go?
