Gutting Fish OTW

[Cadillyak]

There are many people that do. I know that the Bluefin regs are about to change (bag limit dropping from 10 to 2) which isn't a problem for us yakker's, but they are going to require to keep the skin on as opposed to keeping a 1" piece of skin on the fish. So back to your question, gut them if you like. Just do it with the mindfully and with purpose. I also don't see any issue in rinsing them.
