where's the carcuss

It kind of depends on what I plan on doing with the fish.

When I slick out a carp or white bass for catfish bait I just toss tha carcuss back in the water. I'm sure that the other catfish and crawdads appreciate the easy meal.

If the fish are the ones that I plan on taking home I leave them whole untill I get home to clean them. I'm not really set up to clean them at the lake and just take the meat home.

On an interesting note My brother and his two boys and I went to Powell a while ago in September for the striper fishing and did pretty good that first afternoon and went back to camp (in good hope bay) with about thirty fish. We cleaned them on the back of the boat and tossed the carcusses into the water so that they didn't start stinking things up. When we got up the next morning to head out fishing at first light there wasn't one single peice of fish left to be found. I don't know if it was catfish or crawdads but they had it cleaned up in no time. should have trown a pole out while we ate dinner that night.
