Throw into a plastic tote keeps floor and boat cleanNice and smooth!
Only thought I have is about fish battering itself on deck and bruising meat?
I agree or even bonk it while the body is still in the water. A freak out is very rare when just the head is pulled out.I do the same. Notice fish doesn’t do the death roll till it hits the deck. Bonk it before you set it down.
I try and play those ones out on the side of the boat not the back it's weird when there at the back of the boatGreat job so smooth. What do you do with the flipper floppers though?
I gave one the gaff and it was like a red spray can went off in the whole boat lol... so net or bucketNets? Used to work on a 54 foot freezer troller. Only time we used a net was to scoop up Japanese glass floats! Just always gaffed them in the head and swung them into the checkers. 8 for 8 last time out.
That was WAY more entertaining though lol.Following Reeltime's advice, here's my attempt at netless Sockeye landing. Not quite as smooth as the master
