I just clean them while they're still kicking. A live fish bleeds out much better when you clean it fresh like that. Lots of times, I'll throw a catfish carcass in the ole gut bucket and its mouth is still moving even though its fillets are floating nicely in a bowl of saltwater (saltwater also helps to pull the blood and some of the "fishy" taste out...let the fillets soak in saltwater for a day or two in the fridge before you fry those bad boys up).
Enjoy that one, PETA.
