have to bleed INSTANTLY and get on ice. Also, spike the brain so it does not thrash and bruise the meat.

Bonito is GREAT sashimi & poke. But only if you bleed & ice

That makes a lot of sense. Mine caught were on cattle boats and were unedible once I got them home.

Thanks for the tip!

Is that an inflatable Kayak you are fishing from?

Agree on bleed and ice right away, I also try to process them as soon as possible and be sure to trim off all the blood lines.

And yes, inflatable. Makes gaffing a shark a true adventure. 😁 Its built for whitewater like the rafts, weighs 42lb and fits in a rucksac so I can fly with it and makes it easy to get to the beach folded in my little pickup. That almost makes up for the very real possibility of a long swim to shore, almost.

Yup, it helps wash down that nasty fishy taste of uncooked bonito
