How to fillet a Pickeral

Far from a maintaining a clean sanitized surface to work on and I believe I can match up against him as I have been doing it for almost 40 years ;) But sometimes my fingers get in the way and I end up poking one or two of them going that fast.

 

My personal best is 70 crappies in one hour.

This might be a fun game...i have been a butcher for 15 years, not a nick i might add, and have been filleting fish since I was allowed out after dark...LOL.

My buddies and I once had a 'debate :whistling: ' about this exact subject and I was sure I could come in under 30 sec....with ALL bones removed. The debate has never finished to this day....I am gonna assume that was about a 20(ish)" walter so I think I will get it on tape over this winter and we'll see what happens. Any contenders???

That being said.....

thats amazing...I hate cleaning crappie. I actually don't, if someone will clean I will catch, but they are far too annoying for me.

Billy Bob you must have been happy as a dog eatin' beat root when that was done...LOL

 

Cheers and sharp blades.

Actually I find crappies to be the easiest because you don't have to contend with belly meat, there is none. I think that is what makes filleting that fish the fastest.

 

Now yellow perch I find the toughest on my fillet knife as the skin/scales are the toughest around. I like to run my blade on a sharping steel about every 6-7 perch. Don't have to do that with any other fish. I like eating perch but they are definitely my least favorite to fillet.

 

BTW I still use just a regular 4" fillet knife. Never tried a electric one.
