[QUOTE="wjschmaltz, post: 349680, member: 6150"] I grew up with my Grandpa as the only person that I fished with. He always bled his fish. He lived next to the Hazelton boat ramp and would just drive them home in the livewell and as he took them out one-by-one he cut their gills and put them into a bucket with the water hose in it. Kept water moving through the gills and constant new water made it a clean process. I understand that laws have changed since then, but I would probably still find a way to bleed fish. I've been to the cleaning tables several times across from guys that don't bleed and the color of the fillets is very noticeable. Probably depends on the type of fish as far as how much it matters. For salmon it's not even a question that bleeding fish has a very noticeable impact. With those I just reach my hand into the gills and rip a couple out from each side with the old booger hunters before putting the fish on the stringer. Everything is usually a chaotic mess anyways.
