I catch a nice fish, and being a responsible fisherperson, verify first that I'm within my size limits, but the only fish I eat is fresh, (no grody grocery store seafood here, thanks), so I bring it home and it happens EVERY TIME. I had a 20 minute drive home, got out my knife, gutted my little flounder (happens with reds and trout and everything else too... you guys know what's next....) he's got NO INNARDS AND HE'S STILL FLOPPING ON THE TABLE!!!! Even worse, rinsed out the body cavity, made sure all the vitals were gone and no more fish blood floating around, bagged him up and HE FLOPS AGAIN AS I PUT HIM IN THE FREEZER!!!! It drives me nuts, it's not that it grosses me out horribly or anything, and I know it's just nerve movement, but darn it, is there any way to keep my fish from moving around while I'm trying to disembowel them? Even with no head they do it sometimes.... darn cold-blooded, slow metabolismed critters.
