i haven't kept anything that i'd really consider a prized fish yet, but if I did then I could understand keeping it in the freezer!

I flush my dead ones down the toilet. Maybe I should use them for fishing bait. :cool:

I used to freeze them, but my freezer is too full now. I usually chuck them over the fence to the wooded area next to my house or I sometimes give it to my firend and he will eat them :P
Really he does. He ate an arow and a red devil. LOL!

LOL This reminds me about this old school LFS in the old country ( Philippines).
The caretaker was telling me that one of their big arowanas died and the owner
let them have the fish. They grilled the damn aro and ate it . Now if i remember correctly, it was an ASIAN ARO that they ate. LOL .. just wild.. the caretaker told me the fish was delicious.
I had a 14'' red belly piranha that died when the heater went out the winter of 87, I pan fried it, lots of little bones, other than that it tasted like slightly fatty trout. It sort of depends on what they die of but most make good crayfish food.

Cool Stuff!! I dont do the freezer stuff anymore.
I want to buy a big jar of formaline so when one of my fish dies , i could just put it in a 10 gallon aqarium or some glass container, pour some formaline and preserve it!

I used to do that until I clogged the toilet once really . Pissed the wife off. Not a good thing. Didn’t want to call the plumber so I waited a couple of days for it to decompose a little so the flesh is softer and tried to flush it again. WORKED! LOL!

i used to put mine in a black glass bowl, fill it with salt, and leave it in the sun, results- they stay shiny and dont stink so much.
damn i think this is the oldest thread ever to be brought back from the grave!
on the other hand i intend to do this:

I don't concern myself with dead animals. Just chuck them.
