A. I wish he was at the boat launch so I could just pay him to clean my reds.

B. It looks like he's using a fillet knife to do that. It must have a thicker and heavier blade than an average filet knife though. Either that or somebody is removing some scales before the fish gets to him. Anybody have a thought on what type of knife it would take to do that technique but taking about 10 times as long to do it?

he is using a dexter

Is he just using the Dexter butcher knife? It doesn't look like he's using anything serrated. If I could clean a bull red in three to four minutes I'd be happy.

looks like a really sharp filet knife, but you can do the same thing with the serated one

Alright... so I'm a believer. There's enough people on here saying that the Dexter serrated is the way to go. I'm guessing the one they use is the Dexter Utility Knife. Is that the one to use? 6 inch or 8 inch? Or there's also the V-Lo series. Crap, they all look good. As long as they can cut through those scales, they will work for me.
