Nice method. I like the rib cutting first before filleting.

nice, one of the nicest perch fillet jobs i found on here. 👍

Been looking at different ways to clean perch. I have done some others, now I will try this one. I don't have an electric fillet knife (yet) but I will try it with a regular knife to see what works. A friend of mine has been bringing me some big bags of perch recently, so if I can save time cleaning them, it will be worth it.

I ordered two of these based on the reviews. kzfaq.infoUgkxqmKabisEv81ul5v7OhvVxxOpt2CJruI- Received them on time and they look good. I really like the handle on these knives as they feel good in my hand. I'm giving them 4 stars on look and feel, but have not had the chance to put them to the test yet. I mostly fish for catfish and can hopefully try them out in the next few days. If they hold an edge throughout a limit of catfish, they'll be worth another star.Update...I used the 9" strong and the 9" fillet on a mess of catfish. I did put a sharpening on these before I started. I want a razor edge to fillet fish but they weren't quite that sharp. The people who gave these knives crappy reviews and said they were sending them back was because they weren't razor sharp. So what, do they not have a knife sharpener?? Good grief! I mean you have to sharpen any knife from time to time.I personally like them and am pleased with them. If you're too lazy to sharpen a knife then hire someone to clean your fish lol.I've never bought a knife in my life that would shave hair right out of the box. Don't be afraid to purchase the knives. They're pretty nice in my opinion.

Another old guy once told me "don't get bloody cut towards ur buddy"

No animals were harmed perfect Jeramy luv your elk horn decor in your kitchen I'm an old man and I've been doing it that way for years you get a bit more meat too I turn over the belly and get some extra meat there bone less great tips about the lemon

Thanks, been catching jumbos lately, now I can eat em 😊

Is that a common size to keep? I've caught many that size and only one or two bigger ones, but I have been releasing them... maybe I should be eating them!

Bak in the day i would selk the full milk jug for 40-50 dollars per jug. Gard tedious work. But, well worth the effort. Good memories

I used to filet oysters all night. I would put them in milk jugs. Lol. Good times

If you only catch few perch and want to catch more otherday you can put perch in freezer full without doing anything to it. We call this "freezing the round one / round fish" as the fish is still round and fat with all the internals. Freezing rounded will work basicly on most fish and freezing kills any parasites. Of course you can't store the fish a decade this way to ensure its edibility. Fish is always best fresh eaten. But this is just a tip to preserve those fish when waiting some more catch. You can take those fish out of freezer any day and let them melt a bit to fillet them. BTW. those perch eggs-bags are delicious fried when catch out from cold water.

Never bothered with Perch before but cought my first one today. Mine was much bigger than this. I wonder if it was a different species of perch? This thing is a good 22+" and around 2.5 pounds.

Hmmm 🤔...I found out Trout, perch and crappies are easy...larger Fish take more patience. Pike have extra bones and once you learn how to clean them , you are a master. I only use actual filet knives because I broke my electric fillet knife cutting wood.... LoL 😂

We just gut em and cook em, easy peasy

You don't need to add water in the freezer bag to preserve long term. This is not a requirement but only a preference to the person doing this.

Not bad bro. It's ok to filet perch all night. Good eating ya know
