Cleaning crappie

[Crappie Monster]

I use a mister twister electric knife. I’ve cleaned around 1500 or so and never sharpened the blades. Here is a video of how I do it.

I always buy the el cheapo Hamilton Beech carving knives at wally world with a sheep's foot blade which i prefer to the pointed blades on the twister. Never sharpened a blade before.

Simular, but I start knive point down by the belly first cut and turn hard once pass the gill and go up above the eye, I use more of the point of the knife to make the first cut. I take the ribs out before skinning,following the curve of the ribs, both of these things will yield a little more meat per fish.

Yes, I cannot envision your technique but it sounds great particularly the saving of more meat. I hate to waste anything if I can avoid it.
