catfish cleaning (in under a minute) without cutting ribs!!!!

[MrTinoco09]

looks more like he's mutilating it then cleaning it

[1985BrandonLee]

looks like he may have done this before..

[Bioflamingo]

I've seen fish cleaned less than a few minutes out of the water flopping around in agony. They're a fish, I'm a human, they go in my belly.

[GodShrimp]

great idea, but the fish was alive...

[Axel10011]

@GodShrimp yeah its always the moral thing to do to end the life of your catch quickly before sawing them up for tasty stuff. but other than that it was a pretty clean fillet

[popacapnyoass]

So the fish is alive, big deal. What do you expect from a carnivorous predator? As long as its not still wiggling when it comes out of the pan, Im good.

[moretorque]

i think you finished filleting the fish before it even died, lol

[tannerblessing]

it would be fair to kill him sense you get to eat him

[darkhawk37]

wow dude nice dose it take u 2 mins with a real knife haha

[jmalo6253]

Very impressive!!!

[MrJetmea]

cheating! lol i gotta get one of those

[goldmaz23]

the skin is ok to eat if you scrap the slime off with a knive and the fat on the belly haves the poison in the the most

[frekijsimpson]

why does everyone remove the skin? it fries up nice and crisp..!!

[asd123hhh]

@frekijsimpson because it has poison in it?

[That740Dude]

very nice man

[thirteenx21]

The belly meat tastes just like the rest of the fish . As long as you get all the fat off of it !!

[dirtydrew18]

pretty much the same way we skin all of our fish, works great.

[zackarydsmith]

Exactly how ive done it since i was 8 i think its funny ppl spending 10 minutes on each fish.

[superwhiz88]

the fish still alive

[jedwardc1982]

Quick question: I noticed you cut out the belly meat to eat. I've never tried that - How does it taste? Is it any different tasting than the rest of the meat? Thanks for the video!

[KurtisCercone]

You should kill it first

[9showoffsin1]

Nice blue... and good job.

[cjacustomwoodworking]

Nice work, you made that look easy.  Thanks for sharing.

[MeSezSo]

I want to eat the fish you fillet, because you did a really well job.

[rjared37]

u did good job but people are assholes so im saying good job

[IW769]

I think its pretty clear to anyone who will just watch the video that fish is deader than 4 o'clock and I have cleaned all kinds of fish salt water and fresh water and it looks like the guy did a fine job..don't criticize everyones post..I mean the guy trys to show people something of interest and hes gettin dogged by everyone..

[cott10r]

i agree, we never ever clean a fish until we take it out of its misery before hand. i do give props to the guy doing the cleaning, nice job!

[jadecatgreen]

This is an excellent vid IMHO. Very efficient, clean, and with very little waste. Thumbs up from me.

[MrTiaga77]

please where do you get the device to clean this?

[thirteenx21]

@FishingKing754 where is the wasted meat ???

[FishingKing754]

@thirteenx21 Nice you were man enough to remove my comment. The wasted meat uh by cutting horizontally there is a sustainable amount of flesh that is still intact along the bones. Also you did not slice away at the shoulder.

[thirteenx21]

@FishingKing754

the only thing left is the meat in between the bones ,, there is nothing left you could get with a regular knife ! and i didn't delete your comment on purpose >> sorry put it back if you want

[drdukeful]

wow u were great man .what brand r u using?the tool i mean.

[thirteenx21]

@drdukeful Hamilton beach and thanks

[zeeKxxL]

@thirteenx21 Man, when I saw this I was thinking "Electric knife, he's just going to butcher it, and everyone will laugh" then I saw and was like "Holy crap he's can cut a cat like crazy." Good shit man. And if I slow it down it actually helps me clean my fish a LOT faster.

[AUTiger727]

@drdukeful i love catfish, looks like you got some nice nuggets out of it. i live in st. pete beach, florida, we can't get near fresh waters because of alligators. we have to buy cat from the meat market. i miss skinnin' a good ol' cat. good vid.

[Lucrio40]

I have to say first off that I'm an avid catfisherman. I eat a good portion of the fish I catch (the big boys go back, not only because they should but because they don't taste as good as the little guys). That isn't the issue, the issue is not killing it before. The catfish brain is very easy to pierce since the skull surrounding it is very thin. It takes less than 15 seconds to stab into the brain and instantly kill the fish, And you still have the head to hold onto to finish cleaning the fish

[thirteenx21]

@Lucrio40

the fish was hit on the head with a ball peen hammer b-4 the cleaning started ,, you notice he dont flop around ,, its just reflex you are seeing but sorry !!

[mattnorman07]

@Lucrio40 That sounded really queer jfyi... crying about the fish possibly still being alive? human beings are carnivores.. its how the world goes around... grow a sack

[jillonken]

@Lucrio40

What do you use to "stab into the brain"? An icepick? thanks!

[Lucrio40]

@jillonken Fillet Knife. A catfish has a soft spot on their skull. a little wiggle and it goes right through it into the brain, almost instant death.

[SoundsFantastic]

@Lucrio40 I prefer cutting the tails and letting them bleed out while hanging.

[r6370z]

wow man, at least kill it before you mutilate it. thats a living creature.

[TehOwnageCat]

@r6370z Its dead you idiot.

[juniorpondo]

look at 0:36 its mouth is opening and closing for water itss til alive and that cruel man

[saltyCracka3]

he was still alive? Oh well you gonna eat him now

[richard2mitchell]

@FishingKing754 bull shit he did you dont know what you are even talking about.

[FishingKing754]

@richard2mitchell So he did waste a lot of meat?  I'm not sure what you are talking about please be more clear when typing up an angry message.

[richard2mitchell]

@FishingKing754 If you don't rember what you said and don't get what I said no one can ever help you...

[FishingKing754]

@richard2mitchell That's just it no one can help me because you make no sense at all. Try to be more clear when addressing another person's comment. 

[flipkilby]

I love to catch, kill and grill like my hero Uncle Ted, but you have to be humane. These creatures feel pain, and you should cut their head off first. Yeah, I know, I have had their heads stay alive for an hour, but at least I do the best to take 'em out before stripping their flesh like that....

[catfisherman510]

on 0:36 the fish was still alive

[liltrombley]

were down to are finalist in the world cat fish cleaning contest who will win

[thirteenx21]

@liltrombley  me

[hurtmeloveme]

I'm no expert, but even I could tell that was a sloppy job. It would be a better idea to cut the head off first before you start skinning it.. For both you and the fish.

[thirteenx21]

@hurtmeloveme if you think that is sloppy , you are sure no expert ,,, no offense... if it has no head there is nothing to hold on too !!

[luspol]

@hurtmeloveme what do you mean sloppy?! those were clean cuts

[ccgamemaster75]

nice and quick, but wasnt it still alive

[thirteenx21]

@ccgamemaster75 thanks 

[Prometheus1st]

We just quarter the whole fish from just behind the head, bones and all and deep fry them. a Cat's bones are big enough not to be a PITA unless there are small children who may not be very careful while eating them. THAT method saves the most meat period. I usually end up with a VERY tiny pile of bones and a full belly from a few fish quarters that way.

[mrwhiskeydick13]

@xxxaimpiratexx I'll have to look into that. Good to know thanks

[spearo42]

looks like a lot of wasted meat

[mrwhiskeydick13]

Fish don't feel pain so who cares if it's still alive.

[shadowrslayer]

At 0:32 the fish open and close his mouth

[crylo2000]

People like you make me sick. Why don't you at least knock him in the head first?

[DandJ420]

Well done.

[bigcountry1009]

What kind of fillet knife are you using?

[thedoggary]

great video, and he does not appear to be alive as many others have said IMHO

[crylo2000]

@thedoggary Why don't you look again. At 37 seconds you can see the cat opening its mouth. Looks alive to me.

[Lspurls18]

whats happens if you cut the mud vein or whatever its called (i dont hardly fish for cats)

[ChevyPower698]

Awesome technique. Everyone saying he should have killed it, it doesn't matter. Fish don't have pain receptors so it doesn't matter whether they are dead or alive. The longer they stay alive, the fresher they are.

[Alex0992]

"time" lol

[litomeanbear]

sad the fish was still alive

[thegreatone582]

that was great...thanks thumbs up

[Superbonbon823]

What a bad ass!

[ratherbeehunting]

was the fish alive at :36 - 39

[crazytacostudios]

what i do is i cut the base of their tailefin and bleed them out.

[firefox1341]

LOL at 0:52 you like hold it up and cut it that made me laugh

[gopher0]

this is how I do Bass

works as you can see

[christlike97]

You can put a knife through its brains.... it will still move and such... its just nerves no worries.

[LovelySi]

that´s really awesome!

[tamaman7777]

slick!

[thirteenx21]

@tamaman7777 thanks

[jurassicsushi]

Wow' I still have to clean a catfish. I haven't tried yet. So do you suggest only keeping catfish that weigh 2lbs or more? Thumbs up on your video.

Come check out some of mine. I started video taping my fishing attempts for this year.

[thirteenx21]

@jurassicsushi i only keep the bigger ones when i am bait fishing,, i guess i like to let them grow up a little  if they are small you can just cut through the ribs like a crappy

[sirfunkeybut]

@jurassicsushi

i dont keep them under 5 personally. 5-15lbs. but i dont really like to eat fish anyway, so i toss back 95% of all my fish. but the way i look at it a 2lb fish to me is young and hasn't lived a very long life and something above 20lbs and his lived survived that long so why not let it live. But thats just me.

[JimbowT]

This is the best / fastest technique I've seen...and now I use it exclusivly. Thanks for sharing the vid - saves a lot of work. But I would like to add - Just before butchering, I hit 'em behind the head with a roofers hatchet (looks like a steel tomahawk) so their spine is seperated from their brain...but be sure to count your fingers both before and after using this tool :-O

[thirteenx21]

thanks

[animi411]

@JimbowT I would just chop off the head as soon as the skinning was done. Only problem was that the body Still twitched!

[animi411]

impressive. i wonder if there is a faster way to clean brim?

[thirteenx21]

you can clean brim the same way, except you just cut through the ribs, they have small ribs and wont dull your knife

[redneckjwillo]

haha i use regular knifes but thanks for uploading

[soonerfan54321]

Job well done.....

[jakewellsand36]

it was alive. wtf thats crazy

[boost3782]

This is how we clean our catfish also. Great video. Your pretty fast!

[thirteenx21]

thanks

[HolyIsHeInHeaven]

This will work for fun but if your in a serious Fish Market that makes it for food. That would be to much money lost.

[thirteenx21]

where is the loss?

[HolyIsHeInHeaven]

There is a very good amount of meat near the bone that you do not get that way and there is some meat lost on the skin when you skin that way to. But when your only doing a few fish it is not a big deal. But like where my family works they do thousands of pounds a day and taking 10 mins longer to do 60 pounds of fish to get another pound makes the market more money.

[thirteenx21]

thanks for your comment,, but i think you would have to boil the bones to get any more meat off without bones in it!

[sarhael]

why is it that in most every cleaning fish video that I've seen people post comments that make accusations that the fish are alive. I assume these people have never had many dealings with live fish. Because if these fish are alive they are good at playing dead. I've never seen fish that are that still. I guess they've don't understand the phrase, "a fish out of water".

[thirteenx21]

thanks for your comment!!!

[sarhael]

I forgot to add most of these uneducated people that go around screaming how cruel animal butchering is are the same one with a fish sandwich (well, they tell us it's fish) in their hand from McDonald's. Point #2... the fish they are so quick to defend got that big by eating other LIVE fish....welcome to the circle of life it's not beautiful but, it is...LIFE.

[pocoboba]

@sarhael

But let's put things into perspective.

Fish eat other fish alive, a very true fact. However, they don't take their pray out of their natural habitat where they aren't given even a slight chance to escape and strip its flesh with an electric knife to show off.

Fish eat other fish alive to survive, this guy crudely and cruely sawed this fishes flesh off to make a point.

[deadblood0]

Fast and efficient! What knife is that, by the way?

[thirteenx21]

its a Hamilton beach ( from wal-mart)

[woodsman4cb]

LOL, That is a coonhound or a beagle barking!

[thirteenx21]

its a deer hound (WALKER)

[casto122]

i like fishing and eating fish i do clean fish but WTF wial it is still alive that is just an ass hole move

[hockey4life220]

What makes you think it was alive?

[tmick990990]

well if you look at its mouth when he turns it to face the camera, it is opening and closing more than just a twitch. not that i care or anything really, just pointing it out.

[byrumjr]

one more thing...Anybody that thinks this is wrong, must not believe in God and listens to his word. Read your Bible, God tell us to eat the fish from the waters.

[byrumjr]

it was a dog barking

and that catfish was dead the fins never moved.

[iwuzyou]

u guys are the killers, screwdriver,rock.. he is dead either way. and if someone cut your leg off u go numb instantly... jackass

[501video501]

just cut his head off of take a screwdriver to his head alot faster dontcha think lol bash im in head with rock that was kinda funny

[iwuzyou]

omg... these ppl are gonna be so lost when the economy crashes... if u wait till the fish dies, it starts to rot...this method is a lot less cruel than the way fish and beef are processed in plants..

[86collind]

bull shit he cleaned the fish in a minute it won't rot in a minute i've done it plenty of times and i always kill the fish i think it's fucked up to filet fish alive when it's so easy to just put it out of it's misery instead of hearing it bark in pain i use an electric knife too just kill the damn thing

[iwuzyou]

omg u really concerned about this fkn fish. when there are so many more things u could b bitchin about your piss poor life. but u choose to hate on this guy for eating fish. u r a pussy... and i so wish i could crack your jaw open

[datzfast]

i eat raw vegtables without killing them first. yes sir, pulled a carot right out the ground washed him off and ate him tip to stem i did.

but i like to cook my fish so i dont expect them to still be alive.

same peple upset about this poor fish

kill baby this way in hospital and brag to govement bout it. sad fools

[imurgodsgod]

lol it was still alive but what i do is i stab my knife in the back of its head so that it severs the spinal cord so any movement after that is involentary cause its brane dead and dnt feel a thing

[MightySnail007]

catfish never die

[hamerexploreremd]

omg... was the fish making those noises? the barking ish sounds? i know it was still alive but was it making noises??? whoa...

[86collind]

yes thats the fish sick huh i kill mine first

[malakaki111]

Kill it first will ya?

[TheAllaroundhound]

hardcore

[spitfirecs420]

Dude show the fish some respect, bash it in the head with a rock before you start cuttin him :(

[mdogg4000]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAH  bash it on the head with a rock HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

[ajthemooonster]

dude it was till alive

[agabla]

yup they stay alive a long time or thats what it looks like

[camhaines]

Great method! I feel conflicted, though; why not kill the fish prior to cutting? Your method would be better for all involved if you just club the poor bastard. Honestly, regardless of others comments, you are being inhumane in the cleaning/fillet of this fish. I hope to see another video with some revision. Regards.

[l1waggon]

Very nice job. How long do your blades last? I usually don't get more that a season out of my electric knives. Probably about 300 fish.

[thirteenx21]

i use about 3 a year ,, i'm on my 3rd one this year, i sharpen them about 3 times then they dont work good anymore

[FishTheMargins]

Wow, you've done this before! Nice job!

[loverbloom]

u retarded left him die first but good fillets

[steelerssix86]

thats bad ass, but when i fillet my cats i gotta kill em first. i dont have a problem with how u do it i just gotta kill em before i fillet em up.

[danielwmclemore81]

bud light needs to do a salute on this guy

[thirteenx21]

thanks

[richard2mitchell]

can u makeone show in more detil i would like to know

[goldenchild3079]

Wow that's just mean, atleast pop it on the head with a club first and kill it before you skin it.

[thirteenx21]

i know you wouldnt want to see me knock it in the head !! if you didnt like this!!

[jrubio023]

i think im gonna make a video of me killing a catfish by stabbing it or hitting it, and you tell me wich video yall like more

[myownreality22]

Wouldn't really matter much.. You can smack a catfish in the head with a hammer and the fins will twitch but it'll still start moving around after a few minutes. You can run a nail thru it's head and it'll still live for a while longer.. Neat way of getting the fillets and skin off without all the hassle.

[iFleebag]

@goldenchild3079 how do you know he didn't before he started the camera?

[ecppunk]

@goldenchild3079 It taste better when you skin it alive.

[frankbombs]

@goldenchild3079 pot it on the head all you want... still wont die.. promise.

[UndeadInk]

@frankbombs I agree. Its hard to kill catfish. small fish will stun if you pop them on the head.

[jrubio023]

plus this guy is just a beast at this i give him props

[thirteenx21]

thanks  lots of practice

[jrubio023]

To all you people bitching about the fish still being alive, who gives a shit the fish is gonna die anyway and end up in a frying pan being eaten so what does it matter.

[thirteenx21]

thanks for the help

[rambhakta]

how will you feel if someone peel you alive like the way you did to this poor creature?

[thirteenx21]

that is why we are the top of the food chain

[bloodgost2]

all real anglers at least kill their catch first. It doesn't take that long to stick a knife through their head. Bastard.

[thirteenx21]

you are wrong!! real anglers catch and release !!

[mannin1992]

quit bitching, catfish and bullhead stay alive for sooo long. me and my friends cleaned 150 bullheads and it took us 3 hours and the end ones were STILL breathing

[thirteenx21]

thanks for helping

[rambhakta]

son of a bitch that poor creature is alive

[thirteenx21]

whats your point!!

[MClown69]

nice man! texas chainsaw massacre style! I like it! hah

[striperhooks]

nice job dude!

[thirteenx21]

thanks

[billytaylorfamily]

Useing an electric knife thats the best ive seen it done.T/4/Sharing

Billy.

[thirteenx21]

thanks for watching

[ggmm2000]

kill it first

then fillet it

real sportsman do not do it like this

[thirteenx21]

who said i was a sportsman?????

[anon9122]

You should kill it next time, have some mercy. I hunt and fish, im not some irrational vegen. But, you should kill it. You wouldn't skin a deer alive would you? Just jam a knife behind its head.

[thirteenx21]

the fish is dead!! its just his gills moving!!! you can take the head plum off and the gills will move for a long time!!!!

[anon9122]

oh sorry, so it is dead, its just wrigglin. I just hate seeing stuff suffer you understand. People wonder if animals feel. They do, that's why they flop or flinch if you inflict pain upon them. If they couldn't feel it, then they'd just let you hurt them and they'd set there, but they don't do they. Anyway, sorry about assuming it was alive. I hope no offense was taken.

[thirteenx21]

no problem , a lot of people think that !

[kam2004]

no offense,but i think the fish is still alive. I'm not trying to start anything. Dead or Alive, it's nature. When a wild animal hunts their prey..the prey is often, most likely alive when they are being eaten. Yea it's a bad thing and yea it hurts, but it's life.

not trying to start anything, just telling you the facts.

[thirteenx21]

if it was still alive it would have flopped around when i cut into it!! most of them do, by the way , that is why this one was filmed and still, the debate goes on,, alive or dead?? it doesn't matter to me but i am sorry if it offends anybody :(

[willohteltv]

man that is an art.

[superwhiz88]

you are the best i seen.. so quick the fish still alive

now thats an professional
