THIS IS WHY I DID'T DO IT !

[Ketchn]

Lots of the docks I visit have fish baskets and similar fish keeping devices on them .
quite often I hear don't throw them back ," put them in my basket ,I will clean them later .
"
More than I care to mention I have returned the next day or so later and found dead fish in those baskets .
Now mind you I didn't put this fish in that thing ,but just last week he said "just put them in there and he will clean them later " !
I mentioned to him and the dock owner I don't like to put fish in anyone's baskets because they seem to often expire in them and get wasted .....
I was assured that wouldn't be the case , but refrained from putting any keepers in there anyway ,pretty sure it isn't legal to do so anyway .....and glad I didn't , would have made me mad for sure .....
never mind my rant about this is now over , please carry on

there was real bad STINK a while back when I dropped in over there ,as I got closer to that fish holder ,there was a bloated up rather badly channel cat about 3 lbs floating in it .....

That is some awful stink
