    That's great PS. Don't be so hard on your self.

    I've been wondering what I'm gonna do with "D" moving to TN closing his shrimp peeling and fish cleaning place in back Brusly.

    Does PJ pickup and deliver?

    JR mail em to me. I just wish I could go fishing. Finally got license, waiting on boat numbers. Truck in the shop, no way to pull, Passed by Pickwick today on the way back from BR( The aunt whose pic I put on here a couple times when cooking for them passed on).40 degrees and people were fishing. About 25 trailers at the one landing I checked. Been hearing good reports. Also son in law caught a nice 7 lb bass at TB wed. It had already spawned. (BELLY WAS SKINNY, DID NOT CUT IT OPEN, RELEASED IT.)

    I bought my Rapala knife around 15 years ago. I think I'm finally due for a set of replacement blades. It doesn't run quite as strong as it used to, but still makes easy work of a mess. I'll replace it with another just like it the day it quits.
    A bad day fishing is better than a good day at work, unless you fish for a living.

    My experience has been just the opposite. Several years ago my wife gave me a Rapala electric knife that I hate. It struggles to filet a crappie. I guess it's either a dud or just a bad model. It's the one that can be powered by 12v DC or 110v AC depending on the power cord used.

    I don't fish for crappie very often and I keep very few bass so I've gotten by with a cheap Academy store brand knife which works better than the weak Rapala I have. It looks like prefers shiners has the Rapala Heavy-Duty Electric Filet Knife. I may have to get one once I figure out how to catch them crappies.

    That'd be the ProGuide Deluxe. I have one of those too and it's weak compared to my Heavy Duty model. I bought it for camping trips where there's no power. It works, but bogs down easily. The HD has an AC plug only. Makes the Deluxe model seem like a butter knife.

    I won one of those AC/DC models and it is very weak. When plugged in to AC it runs through the DC adapter so it only has the power of the weaker DC voltage. Not a good by in my opinion.

    I guarantee you will not be disappointed with this $50 model....it is so fast & so strong I can not believe it.....the first few fish I cleaned I accidentally cut all the way through...

    That's a great knife
    I have been having mine for a few years.
    It's a fish cleaning machine.
