Hope this helps someone, I know my wife is happy about it!

Where did you find any fish in this flood ? lol

You can use the scent neutralizer you use during deer season to take the smell off. Just a squirt does wonders. Nimrod, fish are scattered but they are still there. I seen a couple of crappie cruising through the yard yesterday!!

lemon juice, or tooth paste also works...

Baking soda and lemon juice work pretty good. Also those pics of metal (stainless steel maybe) that look like a bar of soap work pretty good. At work I just wear latex gloves when working up fish. Preventing contact with fish slime and guts works better than trying to wash it off. Some may make fun of that, but hey, it works!

A stainless steel spoon rubbed on your hands with water will also remove the odor. Works just like the metal bars you can buy.

Go crappie fishing with me and your hands never will get a fishy smell. Go bass fishing with me and you will need some soap. I hope to continue to improve my crappie edumacation this year. At least to the point were I have to wipe my hands on my pants more than twice a day. Some day I hope to make it to the "Bring a hand towel" level. Hey, a guy can dream can't he?

I like the smell of fish hands, don't ever wash it off and you'll get use to it
