While no one will argue that there is nothing like fresh fish, freezing allows me to have fish when I want it rather than only the day I fished ( that is ASSUMING I caught something

) Tropics taught me to brine my fish in ice water prior to bagging and it makes a huge difference. Labeling your bags with species and date caught helps too. I normally have a few pounds in the freezer but that depends on number of outings and degree of success
