It was funny to watch.

In my opinion the belly meat off a blue or flat head is the best tasting part of the fish.

Thanks for the report.
agree there is a lot more meat available.
on the larger fish I use a regular fillet knife starting near the front and slice along the backbone to the ribbs then finish like you have once past the ribs.

you would be surprised on how much more meat there is.

if your down some time I'd be happy to meet up and show you.

Check out this video by Jeff Faulkenberry of Endless Season Guide Service. He shows how to fillet a bluecat. There is a bunch of good meat on the belly that a lot of folks through away. Some say its the best meat on the fish. I don't know if the link works (I'm not sure how to do it) but you can copy and paste it or just search Jeff Faulkenberry on utube, How to clean a catfish and not waste any meat.
