I get a serrated kitchen knife and just cut right behind the gills down to the bone on both sides then use the electric knife to fillet it from there. Works really good, the first cut is what seems to dull my knives and this works well. You eliminate cutting thru the tough scales. Or just get a Dexter and don't worry bout it

Dexter roast beef slicer is the best for cleaning redfish. Hamilton beach makes the best electric knife.

Blue Tournament Choice knife from Academy. Open the box and throw away the blades. Buy a set of Mr. Twister blades with the cutting point. Works on any size redfish.

My vote goes to American Angler. They make a couple size blades and the big one works well on Reds.

Throw away your electric knife. Check out this guy cleaning a 30 lb redfish in 18 seconds with a good ole fashioned sharp knife. Nothing to it!

really I started using a filet knife about a year ago, always used electric, but with a regular filet knife your filets turn out to look neater and cleaner cut. and after doing it for a while, if you keep your blade sharp you can still clean just as fast.

What kind of knife do you use, pretty much all I clean is catfish and I had an old knife that seemed stay sharper longer and take an edge easier it walked off on me one day and I bought 8" rap aka I believe and it's easy to put an edge on but it dulls out after pretty much every fish
