[QUOTE="Popeye, post: 48002, member: 148"] FishingCop, As to when I bleed it depends on a couple factors. When fishing Lake Michigan for Salmon, any fish that goes in the livewell gets it throat cut. Perch get to stay alive until I decide to head in to the ramp. If I have more than 5 Perch, I'll bleed them and then throw them on ice. If I only have 1 or 2 and they are still alive, I'll throw them back. Big problem with the Perches though is that they are cooming up from 50-70 feet down and unless you fizz them, they'll die in the livewell anyhow. Fishing the Fox chain for Walleye/Crappie is another thing. If I get enough for a meal, I bleed them and ice them. If I have just one keeper Walleye when I get to the ramp, he'll most likely go free. There are no fish cleaning staions on the Chain and you can't do it on the boat because you can't throw the remains in the water in Illinois and the fish have to be whole when you get to the ramp (if subject to lenght limits).
