How quick are you at filleting Crappie ?

[NIMROD]

I timed my old hands using a manual knife today . Arthritis and Carpel Tunnel slowing me down. Completed my limit of 30 in 25 minutes . But been filleting my fish close to 50 years. I learned from reading an article in an outdoor magazine way back when . Remember my dad and he just did not understand . After frying a mess he wanted me to teach him how .

I’m about half that fast. I haven’t perfected cutting around ribs and am always double checking for bones.

I'm quicker at cleaning them than I am catching them.......

I can match that with the electric knife.
But have never mastered the straight blade.
Video your technique. Start slow with the steps then show some at top speed.

every thing I do is always half fast, why get in a hurry when you're retired and 80 years old.

I do pretty well with an electric. A little tougher with the manual version

pretty fast with a good regular ole filet knife is me , around a minute per fish depending on my mood and how alert I am and of course if I recently cleaned my readers . In the morning it goes quickly , late afternoon not so much .....
25 in 30 minutes is moving thru them real well bro , KABOOM is the word my friend

Thanks for sharing to video Nimrod! It’s kinda nice to see others still making fillets with a non-powered knife. I’ve done it with a manual blade for so long, and know when I’m done that there’s not a bone in them, don’t know if I’ll ever change.
