I have to go a different route but only because of the size fish I catch
I love keeping what I catch but I live 3 miles from lake so I am wondering what's the best electric fillet knife to take along?

Rapala makes a decent 12 VDC (lighter plug) fillet knife that comes with an adapter so you can use it with 120 VAC. If looking for a regular fillet knife I would suggest rapala again there used to be a company that made a reddish handled fillet knife that I believe was Fin-nor it was a Swedish made knife they were really good but I think rapala bought them out as their designs both the wooden handled knife and the reddish colored handle with that shape carry the rapala logo now. Have not used one but have heard good things about the bubba blade knifes but their too expensive for my taste.
A couple of my fishing friends and I each purchased the Rapala Lithium Ion cordless fillet knife a couple of years ago and they still seem to be doing quite well. You can go through about 50 or so crappie without any problems. We don't do a whole lot of fishing so I don't know how well they would hold up under heave pressure.
I have a Rapala (corded) electric and have been happy with it. Also have used Mister Twister and it did the job as well. Have yet to try the battery operated.

I have a Rapala 12V with the 120V conversion never use it it's weak on power and goes through fish slow. I also have a mister twister the yellow and green ones are pretty tough to beat for the price. I used the Berkley thin blades in it after the original blades got dull like the thin blades better but they don't last more than a year. I just recently used a buddies American Angler with shark blades now that's the real deal. I went out and bought one myself and it is far superior to the other 2 knives. Hopefully be the last knife I own.

American angler with the shark blades I the best by far. You get what you pay for.
I use American Angler with Mister Twister blades and love it. Fact of the matter blade wise.... i you clean alot of fish you'll have to buy new blades. But the MT an Shark blades seem to stay sharp longer.
I have an American Angler. After reading all the kudos on here about them I found a used one on Ebay for $35. It has been a workhorse. Last year and again this year I made a trip to Florida to deplete the Oscar population and it went through hundreds of fish without a hitch.
They are not cheap, but you may luck up like I did and get one off EBay. Lady I bought it from said she got it for her husband and he did not like it. Used it twice and sold it. God bless him.
