How to fillet catfish (best - more details on removing skin)

Got a 4lb Channel Catfish to make this version of 'how to fillet a catfish' which shows more detail on the removal of the skin - also this catfish was bled to death (put to sleep) so there is no blood - also the belly meat was saved (not someting I usually do)

I have digital scales and I weigh each fish I catch. I now use a bucket and re-zero scales so the bucket is 'tared out' e.g bucket is 0.00 when I add fish. Having scales that let you 'tare' (zero) the bucket makes it easy to weigh to nearest ounce without having to 'put a hole in the fishes mouth'

what brand is your knife?

[ARKIEPRINCE]

American Angler 110V Electric Fillet Knife - from Walmart BTW: I tried the 12volt model and don't see a lot of difference but since I have invertor and/or electricity where I clean - I use the 110v model

great video... I kept doing the V cuts on the head and then using pliars to peel the skin.... your way is much faster.

This is a bit quicker than a conventional filet knife, but I've got a pic of about a 2 pounder that I did with it, and you can see daylight through the carcass, from cutting it so close to the bone. It looks like a lot of meat was left behind just using a straight cut alone the middle spine.
