Nice pile of fillets
Scale then fillet with a wall- mart Cuda . Cut off heads as if going to fry whole . Then start at top and follow ribs till tail with tip of knife. Roll the fillet down till you can pull off ribs .
Nice pile of fillets
The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass along
I used to fry em whole after gutting them and I would eat tails and all. That said I fillet them as I would any Crappie.

I have several fillet knives, but my favorites is still the medium Rapala. I have a 4" one also, which is great for working around the rib cage of smaller fish, but not good for skinning the fillet. I use the small knife to remove the fillet and the longer one to skin the fillets. I've never tried an electric knife so I don't know how that works by comparison.
The pile in back are 1/2 to 3/4 lb bluegill filleted with an AA electric knife when the Pro model first came out. No meat left on the carcass unless you wanted to make soup. It's no longer the same knife.
