[simulationgeneration]

@bbnnkk1 - Here in Louisiana it is 25 per person. Min length of 12". This is for Specks

Everyone is entitled to opinion...Nash Roberts is a pro and when you are cleaning many fish - all within the Louisiana limits and put to the table - an electric knife is a BIG assist. Fishermen have never been known to be spelling bee champs - I myself make errors. But to BLM26CC's point, as well as deanlhouston, go your own way. I posted this video to show how a man I respect does it...

It would be wonderful if these commentors knew how to spell.......while comparing Specks to Rainbows, which have NO relation. Right Sal?

[deanlhouston]

Haha! I'm laughing at all the people bitching about a couple bites of meat he's leaving... Why don't y'all go bitch at all the people in restaurants that don't even finish their fish they ordered! That's a helluva lot more waste than what this guy's doing!

You don't have to do it his way, but Jeezus!! Change your tampon before leaving your comments about how this guy's technique sucks! Where's y'alls video on how to do it better? Put up or shut up!! :)

[huntman497]

only tourist use the electric knife..pus

[troutkiller100]

Dang yokie way of filleting trout!! waist of meat

[taylormadeNo1]

Jesus!!!!!!!!!!! That is NOT a waste of freakin meat!!!!!!! He just cut out the rib bones and the ass meat. there's nothing there. Also...he's using the waste for other purposes. Get a grip. People are always looking to bitch or judge someone.

[tlaza1317]

that was a lot of fish

[bbcg294]

man i can tell the people who cant fish thats nat a watse of meat thats where the trout watse is and when ur limiting out everyweekend u dont have to worry about how much meat ur getting but to a person that doesnt know how to fich thats a whole lot of meat he trew away lol!!!!!

[jayham69]

@bbcg294 I am a very good fisherman, That was a big waste of meat. If you are going to kill a fish you should use as much of the meat as possible. I even scrape out the meat between the bones and make fish balls. You should really take a grammar/spelling lesson by the way.

[djalexrivera]

what kind of knife is that? (what brand?)

[000MrAnderson]

That sucks. You lost 15% of the meat.

[jaceyin]

what does speckled trout taste like? Rainbow trout?

[SalDickinson]

it has a relative light taste, not as pronounced as Rainbow to my pallet. I like it fried or cooked in white wine/garlic over pasta

[drufuss]

perfect fillet, keep limiting out!!

[drac989]

I bought my first electric fillet knife after watching this video and i put it to work big time yesterday. Went to Grand Isle with a couple of buddies and brought home 20 reds, 56 specks and 17 black drum!

[pittfa11]

shut up

[TsurugiOni]

Ahh, I was about to call you out on wasting all that belly meat, but then I saw your comment. That rib portion makes good chum or bait for cats.

[almostaskater545]

What kind of fillet knife is that?

[BurnPK]

thats whats up, nice haul aswell!

[texaslunkers]

Thats how we do it.

[hodstock]

I'm all about using the whole fish, but the belly does contain most of the toxins. In Michigan they teach us to cut off the belly... but not the entire belly and ribs, so yeah he's wasting meat!

[SalDickinson]

There's no wasting meat...the discarded fish parts are used for baiting traps for bait or for roux stock

[l0l0lol0l]

How much is a knife liek that?

[SalDickinson]

between $30 and $45 dollars dependent upon brand, sale price at store, etc.

[mhopkins20]

Hi big brother,

When are you gonna take me fishing? miss u love m

[1LSUredneck]

Rock on Sal. I used to live next door to the elder Mr. Nash over on Airline Park. Great people and great fishermen. I just feel sorry for the poor fellow from Fl. with his 5 man limit of specks. (and he thinks that too many). For those who don't know, Louisiana is the saltwater inshore fishing capital of the world. We have the perfect habitat and conditions that allow speckled trout and redfish to flourish. Our daily limit is 25 trout per person per day and 5 redfish.

[SalDickinson]

Thanks for your positive comment. The Roberts are professional guides in Louisiana (Fishhunter Guide Service) that always deliver "an ESPN" real life fishing experience and are quality people.

[guwapo55]

I use to do that to earn extra money - they use to clock me - my fastest time was 13 seconds to fully filet a Trout..

PS- save the Ribs of the Red Fish and boil in Crab boil - remove bones - make a great Fish Salad additive.

[apx255]

I've cleaned a bunch of trout and this method does waste meat...It's great if you have dozens of fish to clean but why would you have that many? Limits are in place to prevent the exploitation of our resources and one person keeping a limit of 5 (in FL) is excessive in my opinion...2-3 fish cleaned to preserve more meat should be sufficient...

[KnockoffNigeI]

You've got a lot of fish there so catching them doesn't seem to be a problem but that's no way to fillet a fish. The belly is most important when it comes to flavour, especialy in salmonids and perciforms.

If cleaning that many with proper care is too much of a chore then pack in fishing after you've caught half that many and do a proper job.

[nytmaremuise]

he has skill,, but if u fillet it with the rib bones still in u can easily cut the bones out in one quick motion and u save alot of meat.

[MoreSnakes]

terrible waist of meat :(

[ShoreStrikeCharters]

@MoreSnakes it does make it easier when you have 100 trout though

[redfish195]

that's a cool way but u lose some meat

[dogrockit]

If i do it that way i will cut my arm off lol

[DustinDude1]

i think you might get more meat with out doing that right?

[DustinDude1]

can you do the thing where you cut the belly out on any fish or just trout?

[SalDickinson]

any fish...not just trout...have to adjust for thr rib cage

[AMJ04]

wow that was fast however.. how much meat are you missing?

[tmeighen50]

that was insanely fast.... probably has a lot of practice by the amount of fish he had there

[dastagg]

Cut a few steps from how I used to do it.

[galvetraz302]

Tried it last week worked great.

[datroof18]

Thanks for the video - I could be wrong, but I think that you can take two small filets right off the rib cage if you dig in there (even with a chainsaw like the one you were using!)

[tunedin2]

lol chainsaw, never used an electric knife i kind of prefer conventional knives but from the looks of some of the video clips i've seen they work pretty good.

use to love Norwalk knife i had a long long time ago
