Our techniques are very similar. Nice video
In this video, I walk through the steps I take to fillet a crappie and get it ready for the frying pan. I would like to hear how you prepare your fish. Also, I will be filming a bluegill catch and cook video this weekend and need some recipe ideas (other than frying in oil).
Hope you enjoy the video!

I do it pretty close to that only I scale it first and then leave the skin on.

I have used a Rapala wood handle fillet knife in the past. I now use an American Angler electric fillet knife for me it is just a lots faster not to say it is any better than using a traditional fillet knife like you use.
Be safe and good luck fishing
I've seen it done that way, but you better be carefully cutting in the direction of that other hand, them fillet knifes are dangerous. We were told never to cut toward your other hand, dad didn't to take us to get sowed up at the doctor. Now I'm going to go catch me some crappie....

Matthew, is right about not cutting toward the other hand. I know a live fish will be flopping around and you would have a problem holding it down to work your knife. Good video and info.

I used electric fillet knife. I start the cut right behind the gills and go to the backbone. Then I turn the knife 90 degrees and cut through ribs and all, remove from skin and then cut out the rib cage.

That's how I do mine too.
Electric knife and all.
