Yes it was hot Saturday. The water temp was probably in the mid to upper 80's. If you put your fish in a live well, chances are if any of them were gill hooked them they died pretty quickly. And in that water temp they spoiled just as quickly. Then all it takes is a couple of bad fillets mixed in with your good ones, even in the refrigerator and that bacteria will spread quickly. In this case, one bad apple will spoil the whole bunch, so to speak. That's why this time of year I hardly use my live well. The fish go straight to the ice chest. But even then one time 4 of us were catching crappie on Nimrod so fast and throwing them in the ice chest they stacked up so quickly that the top ones never touched the ice and never got cold. When we got home we had some spoiled fish. For that reason I now take my boat paddle and stir the fish down into the ice if we are really catching them. And because of that experience, now when I go to clean them I always look at the gills first. If they are crimson red, you're good to go. But if they aren't then I smell of them, the gills, if they smell spoiled, chances are you're too late. At least that's been my experience. Also, if you clean a spoiled fish but decide it's bad and throw it away, clean your blades and anything that touched it before cleaning any more fish. That bacteria will still spread and can ruin the rest.
