Fish Cleaning Hell - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

WestFork · 03-05-2018, 03:32 PM

I've cleaned a lot of fish and I do my very best to deliver boneless, skinless fillets to the chef without wasting any of the catch. From the photos I see I am a clumsy amateur. You are talented, skilled AND have a great ethic for doing this part of fishing right. My hat's off to you. I second the request for video or other tips on how others might learn what you know. :-)

As much as I hate going to fish cleaning hell...I gotta say I don't mind serving my time there once and a while. I do take pride in my fish cleaning so I force myself to go the extra step. Besides, I get to play with my knives which isn't a bad thing...

Next time I catch a halibut I'll take the extra time to take photos cut by cut, since some of you guys seem interested. Through cleaning many halibut, I come up with some techniques that work pretty well for me, and should work pretty well for you guys too.

In the mean time here's some more "fish cleaning porn" for you fish cleaning porn addicts.

Nothing special here, just a few rockfish I caught yesterday, in that shitty ass weather we had. Those conditions were tough yesterday....
