when i vacum packed them their stomachs poped and were crushed.also i lost my net because it is a dip net and one of the meadle bars fell off while i was trying to pull in the net

Sounds like you had a tough day . Oh well all in the life of a fisherman .

POP,
Freeze them first and then vacume seal them. When you thaw them, do it in the fridge, not at room temp. If you thaw them at room temp they will tend to get mushy. Good luck.
