What to do with Guitarfish? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

What do you guys do when you land a 40" guitarfish (aka shovelnose)?

Are there any special handling instructions? Bleed them right away? Recipes?

I don't "fret" about guitarfish, especially when you get them by the "bridge". Make sure they are legal and handle them like you would a shark. Bleed and fillet ASAP. They are very good eating.

My friends and I had a trip a few weeks-ago where we were landing legal-sized guitarfish every few minutes. We didn't know what to do with them so we threw them all back.

All-told, we probably landed about 250-300 lbs of guitarfish.

Now that I know what we can do with them...

There is NO size limit to shovelnose guitarfish.

Leopard shark has to be 36", but not SGF.

I have heard that the meat parallel to the back bone make a great ceviche.
