  • He has right technique. 1. Take the bellyfin off. 2. Cut the stomack and remove the guts. 3. Fillet the fish, left fillet first. 4. Turn the fish and then cut the second fillet. 5. Take the skin off. Nice but too slow...! ;)

  • @Tapsa007

    This one was early on in my filleting "career". I've done many more since then, so I'm considerably quicker and more accurate as well :)

  • not a sac of eggs...that would be orange. those are the male gonads

  • @BabyFarkMcGeeZax1969

    Definitely a roe sac, they were bright orange, and I even ate some (didn't like it too much). The male 'nads are smaller and pure white.

  • 10 minutes to fillet a pike???? Terrible man. I assume with a name like "Freshwater Phil" your a fisherman....well you want to be a fisherman....if you were a good fisherman you would catch lots of fish and therefore have lots of practice cleaning fish and therefore not take 10 minutes to clean one fish lol

  • @BigRedEraser

    It was one of the first ones I filleted. I've done many more since then, so I'm quicker at it now.

  • I think this was a great video, but it was a little slow! Nice work Phil. :)

  • Good work.

  • nice vid Phill post some more

    thx

  • love this video

  • You don't need to gut the fish before you filet it - start right behind the gill - and if you leave the filet intact at the tail right after you separate it you flip it over then slide the knife under and remove the skin.

  • just wondering why he was playing with that fishes guts,thats to much time on 1 fish and to sloppy.
