[QUOTE="71'V-Hull, post: 271480, member: 9163"] I had this issue a couple days ago cleaning a bass. The thing just would not die! It was in the boat for 2 hours, I got home and beat it on the head several times with a wood oar. Then while I was scaling it, it started moving again... Put a knife through the head right behind the eye. Still moving? Did that a few more times. Started to filet it and it was still moving! I put the knife into the head one more time and finally got it. I felt bad for the fish, although I've read studies that they don't have the nerves to actually feel pain, but there's no way it could be pleasant. I'll try wrapping a chain around my oar next time. Or a hammer. Usually grabbing them by the tail and whacking its head on the bench does the job for me though. That was one freak of nature fish. My roommate was trying to get me to take it out back and shoot it! [/QUOTE]
