How to Fillet a catfish

[caessarion]

could you show us how you skin the house cats after you's people run over them?

[baronvonaqua]

What is the difference between Ex Prime Minister Julia Gillard and a catfish?

All Australians already. know the answer. Ask one next time you meet an Australian male over 45!

P.S. I had a FANTASTIC fishing trip in ASIA (my first trip) and thanks for this clip - very helpful for future trips around the world. BVA AUSTRALIA

[abbazaba1979]

thanks a million man just cleaned my first fishes been fishing years but decided i would try it my self  this time thanks again

[khosiablee]

thats not how you kill a catfish haedbutt

[warrenlc57]

I appreciate this video very much. I didn't have a father to teach me these skills.

[dannyedm]

there's a faster way to clean a catfish. He's doing it the hard way

[Gramofonen]

Whats the problem with fishy taste?

[MrBmanirath]

dude just pan fry it with the skin then after its cooked the skin will come off!!! wee do that in laos its way better and faster

[RoughNeckRage]

is there a reason why you pressure wash the fish in the plastic bag?

[ajorkin]

When ur fileting it you gotta cut around that back fin because catfish are starting to develope a poison gland up there, not very potent but not good for your health either

[Luckyguy813]

Catfish=yummmmmmm

[anavatx]

Chainsaws work better for cutting the heads off!!!!!!

[dannielee1000]

i throw up

[perltech]

Dude - Thanks so much for this excellent video! Wow... this is great!

[Oceanic197]

Thanks, this was very helpful.

[fingerfeller]

nice , instructive, and enjoyable to view, my wife and i are catching a few cats from a private pond we found and i thought i would start cooking some instead of catch and release, a video of a catfish fry would be nice, maybe a recipe or two ? thanks for the hard work making this video

[Ogrepro]

catfish is disgusting i like flat head

[jacass1020]

3:40 ????????*********** why did it move 

[TheZoelzer2]

@jacass1020 lol, ive cut the whole head off before and it kept moving. it was still alive!

[TheOutdoorsman07]

@TheZoelzer2 usually its nerves, when you seperate the head the nerves are still active. it takes a long time for them to calm down, but it is usually dead.

[jacass1020]

3:40 ????????***********

[gudzonikus]

вы когда научитесь рыбу разделывать?!у нас в Украине в течении этого времени,рыбу уже съедают!!!и даже уже все пъяные!!!))))))))))))))))от вы пендюки...))))))))

[skorge615]

he circumsized that fish

[AmmonDIn]

@branjen0723 you get more meat because if u skin once tthe fillet is done it may cut some meat off as well

[BeenThaShitSince1992]

where are yall from... I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS :-P

[bigdaddyplus5]

Have to say that I have never seen anyone skin a catfish like that. Very nice results all the same and to each their own. Nice video.

[qwertykeyboardabel]

at 3:41 the fish is moving!!!

ure an assasin

[bananaman22]

fatty

[josedlt1000]

do couldnt u smack its head a couple of time so it could die it was still alive man it was suffering and also wat u catch it with ???

[Axel10011]

@josedlt1000 i think he just hit some nerve endings that made the fish twitch a bit. most of my catfish die while taking them home. (even if i put them in a cooler of water for some reason) so chances are our fishy friend passed on before this horrid task of preparing something tasty

[tomzo43]

is it still alive?



[threedaysgraceftw1]

@tomzo43

No, when it twitched it was because he cut some nerve endings

[skuterixas91]

gr8 video and what is it with all these comments about how slow he skins the fish ? 8 mins to clean skin such a beautiful fish is very good but if u are fat lazy american that has no free time ( watching porn) then i guess it's slow for you

[Khadije12]

why am i watching this?

[vitiay]

@Khadije12 to check the strength of your stomach :)

[fathomboy991]

This is a really bad representation of filleting a catfish. Catfish is a succulent, delicate fish, why the fuck did you just rip the skin off like that along with wrenching the head off? God damn dude! There's a much easier way to fillet a fish. -.-

[jamesblair25]

thumbs up if you saw the fish twitch:)

[WickedJ133]

@jamesblair25 im pretty sure its because he cut through its neck and theres nerves there and the nerves just reacted from the blade

[wieege]

@jamesblair25 Yep....at 3:41

[Shiftyhun]

Stupid guy, if you put the fillets into water, they will lose their taste!

[ElasticViper]

Was it still alive? lol

[willfred8706]

u cant taxiderm a cat fish skin so obviously this gut doesnt know what hes talking about

[farah1230]

He got some balls wearing a fresh white T while gutting a fish

[farah1230]

He got some balls wearing a fresh white T while gut a fish

[darrylhaynes]

cool

[MrTabolocs]

at 3:401 -3:43 it looked like if it moved but still a big good catfish

[alaskamadman2012]

Man that sure is the hard way of cleaning a catfish. It should take no longer than 2 minutes to fillet that fish and that is if you are slow, use an electric fillet knife and eat fish the same day you catch them

[nguyennguyen1010]

why did not u kill him first? he seems still alive getting filleted :|

[LHRShadow]

i usually just cut down the back bone and cut the sides out avoiding the guts, then use a good sharp knife and cut the meat from the skin.. and toss the rest.. lol

[awesomeabsol]

this is great. my uncle nearly died choking on a fish bone. and was that a buck 110 knife below the fish?

[betinho330]

esse cara e um filho da puta muito burro

[tbarcode]

I realise this vid is old and someone may have mentioned it by now but you probably don't need to take the head off. You're pretty skilled with that boning knife already, I dunno, just an observation.

[lennell2007]

!god that looked hard to do when trying to cut its head off.

[Kestral2670]

@lennell2007 ya

lol



[jesusb1100]

thanks alot there buddy, im just started fishing and started eating my fish insteqad of putting them back, thanks again

[WWWJUGGINGFORCATFISH]

Lets fry em up!

[SixFootEightTao]

nice catfish where you catch that?

[mifpazeh]

this way of doing it takes so long i know a way that takes 5mins i did cats 30in in only 5mins the way i do it

[nkliph]

@mifpazeh Great, where's you're video?

[jmalo6253]

Used this tutorial for my first catfish fillets. Not too bad for my first ones. Thanks buddy.

[The8992]

u mentioned cutting out that mud vain and that works. have you ever soaked it in salt water for an hour? it flavers it and takes that tast out.

[lurein2me1971]

I put the comment for minty1998 who is my daughter! I didn't realize she was signed in

[minty1998]

This dude does not know how to clean fish he is wasting to much time on this .just needs to use a sharp fillet knife that's all

[EnterSandman57d]

thank you so much. my first time filleting a fish. I thought it was going to be a tragedy but thanks to your video, it came out as a great success and i ended up getting all the meat off the bone.

Btw, best catfish filleting video on youtube.

[garrettaldenashley]

4:15 AGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!! lol

[s7a7ik7]

great job,i guess ive been wasting precious meat with my electric fillet knife,never again,thank you

[josephr910]

There's some shit left in my fish. And we cleaned it out already but how do we prevent that from happening again?

[idahochas]

i think i''ve already commented on this along time ago, but since i saw it again i had to comment again. this is absolutely a waste of time. IF YOU ARE FILLETING ANY FISH, THERE IS 100% NO NEED TO SKIN IT AND GUT IT!!! for all of you who think this is a great method, do some more searching on youtube. plus, use a sharp fillet knife. this dude is a clown!!!

[crazypoopnscoop]

3:41 its still alive

[USAamericaUSA]

@crazypoopnscoop its called nerves

[mtndewgecko177]

cut the skin to where you can grab it, nail the head to a tree and pull down on the skin....easy as that... ;)

[Omarv8power]

can you eat the skin???

[mark97722]

you dont need to cut the head off just skin it, then get a electric fillet knife and fillet it.

[criz1394]

when u cuttin off the head can you just take a butcher knife to that sucker or do u have to just pull it off like this fella?

[familyman4upls1]

I believe this is a great video! I love the way he just grabbed the fishes head and bent it back. And how he cleaned them OUTSIDE! not in the kitchen like I did.:( Thanks for the Awesome video man!

[Theboardsurfer]

This is the perfect video to show how to clean a catfish. If you don't think so, then you should consider:

1.) He has a southern accent.

2.) There's a lawn tractor in the background.

3.) You can hear the highway by his house in the video.

Enough said! Thanks for the great video...

[LwRdXtReMe2K]

@Theboardsurfer: Hell Yeah!

[blastification]

i caught like 13 catfish last night... i could not finish sitting down before i caught another... then i got home and was like FUCK now i gotta clean em >< i totally forgot how. thank you so much for this video, i like the skin tho

[killerteddy66]

what happened at 3:41 it seemed like it wiped its fin

[killerteddy66]

@killerteddy66 3:40

[TheXJthatCould]

@killerteddy66 it was the nerves in the fish

[KingMopar7]

Thanks for the video. Wife caught 1 ten and 1 twelve pounder today and tried to clean them. Yep, me caught some small "eyeball" Mudcats, hers all big Channel cats--and yes, my wife knows how to talk Smack!!--LOL. Don't think I'll take her again! Anyway, I did get some nice fillets, but was rusty and could have got more meat from the fish. A super sharp fillet knife is a sure plus...and I couldn't find my old one. Do need some of those skinning pliers, they look nice to use.

[geoman3]

Good vid.That's basically the way I used do it except I used pliers,but have used the skinners before and will say they do hold the skin better.Nowadays I cheat and do most of my cats up to about 7 lbs or so with electric knife.A couple of tips 4 you fisherman though if you cut the tail off about 20 to 30 mins before cleaning they will bleed out making meat taste better.Also freeze them in water with salt in it.Great job.

[briggs155]

this video helped me out alot weather or not the fish was dead who gives a flying fuck...if it werent for this video i dont think i would be chowin down on some f***ing catfish tonight

[LizardKing231]

Nice fish where did u catch it or what state and dont worry bout the people that r hatein on ur methods i know ur goin to eat it so they can deal with it its not being wasted

[Aklaia]

There is also nice pieces of meat on the face. Don't forget those cheeks!

[Pluckins]

Anyone else see the fish flop when he cut the head after skinning?

[rduncan06]

Good Video Dude. Although there are different ways. Pay no attention to the People that knock it and say mean things. Catfish fish is good stuff and if they didnt belong to the Ricky Retardo Club, they would know the fish is Dead lol. My Daughters been cleaning and cooknig fish and hunting since she was like 8. Thats right "A Girl ", even she would tell all you nay sayers the fish is dead and to grow up ! God put fish on Earth for people to eat !

[xSceneKidRavenx]

and then u ripped its head off

even if its just the nerves thats just wrong

[xSceneKidRavenx]

3:39 it moved.....u skinned it and its still alive.......f**k you

like someone said al american meat eh......

[ARMYDiG1997]

@xSceneKidRavenx Grow a pair and quit bein a pussy

[xSceneKidRavenx]

@ARMYDiG1997 grow a heart and stop being an ass

[ARMYDiG1997]

@xSceneKidRavenx Grow a heart?! Its a freakin fish!! Your actin like its your kid.

[criz1394]

@xSceneKidRavenx it's not alive dumbass he cut some nerves that caused the fish to flop, calm down

[xSceneKidRavenx]

why do people have to hate animals.

[HuntFishTrap2]

nice, looks delicious, good vid my man.

[SuperPensfan8771]

you are right there are much quicker ways and easier too but good vid anyway

[moneydrich]

I think its skin is so delicious. I like to eat.

[TheAvitarMan]

100% american right there.

[plzwakeupamerica]

good video man, it's been a while since i've done it. btw, some of the comments i've read on hear make me sad. people are getting tooproud and too weak. this country used to be full of real men, i hope my daughter (5 months) will beable to find one by the time she's grown.

[alucardjim]

Clearly you people have never filleted a catfish before. Their skin is much more attached than other fish and is very difficult to get off after you fillet it without ruining the meat.

[TerrenceA1]

LOL At around 4.00 looks like the fish is biting him in the nuts. LOL

[djebat88]

You have got a very blunt knife, I tell ya!

[TheHAMANNferrari]

nice fucken fish

[terroristbombing]

buy an electric knife

[SPMedic337]

Catfish you do take the skin off before filleting unlike other game fish retards

[hoffman4506]

is that eaten out of necessity or choice?

looks like it would taste rough compared to sea fish or salmon/trout?

is it grilled or battered before eating?

[KohChian1]

i rather kill a salmon fish and eat it raw rather than a catfish that is so annoying to peel off the poison and the head as well

P.s i kinda like him for riping his skin off

[jjakabigb]

@KohChian1 posion?

[dustyflair]

what is that? A mud cat? If so, take the fish, filet it, then take the filets and the body and toss in the lake!!!

[Gunsmith420]

@dustyflair no its a catfish

[rkim0415]

nice job!!!

[MrBebarrs]

You are twisting the entire meat while getting the head off.. Forgive me but I should say this is the wrong way. Not only that, washing and soaking the meat with pure water will alter the taste of the fish meat. Try to consider lemon-salt-water solution to clean the meat fish.

[TheGrandmastercash]

not to say your method is wrong but we usually get an axe chopped the head of get the meat off the skin and clean but nice video and nice music.

[reknowvator11]

good technique. though i personally prefer a boxcutter razor over a filet knife

[Korbin453]

@reknowvator11 You can't filet a fish with a boxcutter razor.

[reknowvator11]

@Korbin453 not to filet, just to skin it

[Korbin453]

@reknowvator11 Oh, yeah. That is the best way to do it. Put it on a hook or nail it's head to a tree, get your razor and pliers, and get at it!

[lgliggy]

damn im not an animal rights psycho type of guy but i felt bad for the fish being alive through the skinning and onward process.. idk, personally i'd kill 'er first.

[MRdoodles1000]

@lgliggy The fish wasn't alive it was just the nerves.......

[2710layla]

I've always wanted to learn this. Thank u

[txfirehawk]

thanks for taking the time to post this up! I needed a refresher on how to do it!

: )

[SuperJordan1717]

very helpfull thanx keep up the good work

[Ilovetombraider12]

I feel sick...

[zywiecproductions]

Instead of wasting time to remove the head by twisting, just add a hatchet or butcher axe to your knife collection lol

[gnoccafan]

mostly people skin catfish by hanging them.

[Aliiyoob123]

FYI, it's always a good idea to cut out the dark stuff, it has large ammounts of mercury in it

[blaket05]

Much easier if u nail the catfish to a tree

[cloneguy5]

my uncle skins his cats in like ten secondsand fellets in like five but he been fishen foeva

[zeeKxxL]

6:30 to finally see how it's filleted

[smooretogo]

Dumbshits...He SAID it was a beginers guide. You'all got a better way....post a vid...I'll watch. We all have our own little tricks.

[riley12345677]

yeehaw

[Rvyelp]

is it just me.. because that cat fish just freaken twitch at 3:41 thats messed up

[Botakzai87]

2:50 it looks more like a dick than a fish

[MastaGT]

actually you do need to skin it and gut it. Learned this from my dad, fisherman for 50+years

[976833]

one thing that you could do is while its alive cut the gills down or cut the tail off it will bleed out but i heard it makes the meat taste better thats what ive heard.

[bigone6884]

Hang it from sometime it would be easy pulling against a rope rather than you hand.

[idahochas]

holy shit you ignorant redneck!! what in the hell are you doing? just fucking fillet the fish. you dont need to skin it....you dont need to cut the head off....you dont need to gut it. JUST FUCKING FILLET IT!!!!

[wfd6912]

One. the fish isnt still alive at 3:40. This has to be the worst fillet job ever

[branzstock5]

good video and nice fish, too bad these fools from the city are so clueless on all of this.

[harikarthikeyan]

3:40 fish is still alive.. that's really sad..

[sphinkterclinch87]

@harikarthikeyan no its not its nerve when he hit the spine with the knife do you really think it wouldnt have moved the whole rest of the process

[Writerchic1]

@BassinBuddy420 it's an after death nerve reaction. humans move too after death, it's just the nervous system still reacting

[BassinBuddy420]

LOL all that work for nothing if your gonna fillet it.

[papaporter]

i love catfish but thats the longest i have ever seen anyone take to fillet one even with the video sped up , sorry!

[bigdumpdad]

Wow! Thats allot of work! They way we do it is allot easier. no need to remove the head or even gut it.I need to put a video on here in the near future, but Thanks for sharing.

[GuyJeni]

That's not a tough skin. You've got a dull knife. Nice skinning. I used channel lock plier and it didn't hold well at all. I need to get myself the skin plier next time. Thanks for the video

[VenomTechTutorials]

I hope one day someone does that to your fucking sick ass body and il laugh my ass off when you suffer with pain you dumb fuck.

[derekryan84]

@VenomTechTutorials go back to your mamas basement and wackoff

[thierrykhris]

u shouldve had cleaned the meat on the top of his head it goes good in a sauce p can

[johannrecht67]

3:41 the fish is still alive.... :0

[derekryan84]

@johannrecht67 no its not

[MrDugbug63]

Best way to get fishy taste out of meat is after washing put meat in pan of water & add tablespoon of table salt to water & let soak over night then freeze them as you normally would or fry them up, That was a nice size cat you had there.

[terroristbombing]

i should upload mass filleting of catfish we fillet at least 300 in 3 days and we catch them at lake willson AL. at the dam

[razorclan112]

omg that looks delicius!

[Bowtechdestroyer350]

I have never heard of skinning a fish! Dude, it's a catfish, not a deer. Skinning and gutting is not necessary.

[kefka3]

@Bowtechdestroyer350 alot of bigger fish are usually skinned before eating them unless you're in the wild and don't really have the time or the tools to properly skin them. you CAN eat the skin, but like he said "choice" meats are skinless and it's the best way to eat a big fish

[THEJL011]

4:28 die bitch

[ancutza251]

he do it on the dificult way,,,,u can do it much easier

[tbone49411]

Can't you take the fillet off without gutting the fish?

[tulsa4life]

Pretty Good Job

[JustPlainBored00]

you don't have to fillet anything, cook and eat.

[LazerElectroDancer]

buy a new knife

[whiplash1028]

@LazerElectroDancer u cant sharpen those knives? i really dont know since i usually use a automatic knife over the fillet knifes.

[darktreason]

Taste like cat.

[beckyuk2001]

Looks Yum!

[goldensun38]

why would you eat a fish if you dont want a fishy taste?

[derekryan84]

@goldensun38 lol

[SexyEnrice]

well there is meet only for me . And family will just look ?

[irich62]

must be your first catfish you ever filleted huh? don't worry, it gets easier the more you practice. I could do a catfish like yours in under a minute.

[TheCappy5]

why u people keep waisting the fish like that much of fish, with all that meat in the bones and the head u could do a great soup! I saw "how to fillet a crappie and thay also waisted 50% of the meat, c'mon if u don't want it just send it to me hee hee!

[FICGOTSWAG]

Lol I didn't even know you could eat catfish.. Somebody told me you can get sick.

[redetrigan]

holy crap did it move at 3:40??

[davidswerdlow]

@redetrigan Haha i just looked at that and it looks like it did, thats very creepy...

[xBurntxRainx]

@redetrigan it was a twitch from the nerves.
