Ive never tried it that way by cuttin from ******* to head first. Looks simpler

That's what I do

That's awesome thanks buddy. Now if I can just catch some trout to try that on. Lol

Yep that's how it's done!

Butthole, backbone, head, flip.

got my new signature

Yep, you get a perfect filet every time. With no bones.

Nice video. (As always)

And cut out backbone an use head and remaing body for crab bait. No waste!

Interesting

Yep....I keep a couple bags of "heads" in the freezer for crab bait.



Slightly different.......After cutting down to the tail end with the knife, I slide the knife blade back towards the "belly" area and flip the meat using the knife blade, instead of grabbing the meat with my hand.

Yep, that's how I roll. If you back up the blade a little after you make the cut along the backbone from head to tail you can flip the fillet back over without touching it. The guides can do it without ever stopping the blade they just change the directions quickly. It doesn't work on redfish of course. How about a good flounder cleaning video. I've seen some dudes butcher a nice flounder and then trow away the white side. HaHa.

and i put a rubberband around the trigger so i dont have to squeeze it

Thats how i do it, but for the vid i just used my hand to be percise lol.....its hard to do it slow...

saw some guides do it that way a few years ago. once you get a rhythm you can roll through some fish.

Terry Shaunnessy showed me that technique In the early 90's

Go on you tube and search how to debone a flounder. They have a fella from Dularge that shows how to debone it.

yessir!!! Butthole,backbone,head,tail---nothing but trout.

That's exactly how I fillet my trout. Great minds think alike!

So I assume it can be done that way on reds also?
