This is the method I was taught in Ruidoso NM. It retains a majority of the meat and it beats these filet hack jobs guys do here in South Texas. I was cleaning sand trout in this manner and everyone in the pier was looking and asking what the heck are you doing. Great reference and refresher course!
Thanks for the great story! I have also been doing it this way for a long time! I love this method! Glad you like it and it brought back some memories of good time! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for watching and commenting on my video!!! I hope you catch a bunch of fish and can try this method!!! It makes cleaning a bunch of fish really easy!!! Good luck!!!! Marty
This was my method for years, until I caught a hook through my finger that was inside the fish’s mouth from a previous line he must have broke. Tetanus shot and a couple stitches changed my method.
That sucks!!!! luckily I have not had that experience yet!!! What is your new method for cleaning???? I would love to know!! Thanks for the comment and watching!!
Yes Patti it is easy! What I like most is it's fast!! I slowed down in the video to show how I do it but I can bust out a limit in no time!!! Thank you for the comment and for watching!!!!!!
Hi Patti, Thank you for subbing! If you subbed to this channel because of the fish cleaning video I would suggest going over to my new channel that will be fishing related! I started it a month ago so there is only one video there for now, but I will be doing more fishing related video!!!!! Thank you again, hope to see you over there!!!!
You would not be referring to the "fishin magician" are you! We can have her clean the next batch of fish to see if she learned anything and to get her over any sensitivities about it!
Im a woman that has cleaned many fish. I gut mine that way but then i put them in a shallow pan with some water and heat them up enough to pull the skin right off. I heat them in the oven.
I have never tried it on other fish so one would have to try it! I will try next time I catch something other than trout! Great question!! Thanks for watching!!!
Not a noob question it is a good one! I have only ever used this method on trout, steelhead and salmon! Bass I fillet same with crappie and catfish. It is worth a try on other species!
I,,, was,,,???? LOL! I will take credit for this method!!! Who knows probably a commercial fishermen!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!! Do you like the method???
Yes, a far as I know it should work on other species of fish! I am going to upload a new video on my other channel were I address this question and try it on a bass! I will add a link here for you if you want to watch! thanks for the great question!!!
Sorry for the late reply!!! I don't remove scale on trout because the scales are so small they have never been a issue. It would not hurt to remove them with a knife but I never have! Thanks for watching and commenting!!!
Much easier to just reach up inside the gills, break them at the jaw connection point, and rip down from there. Also, why do you use a knife to pierce the blood vein when your thumbnail would do the trick?
Thanks for the comment! I have always cut the jaw to remove the gills/gut. I will try it the way you explained sounds more simple! I cut the "Blood Vein" because it is faster and easier I have found to remove it! Just the way I do!
Agreed on the ice chest. So many times I see people keep fish and put them on a stringer or in a bucket of warm water. Spoils the fish and turns it to mush
Yes I have made thi mistake a few times! It gets over 100 degrees here in the summer so they spoil fast if ice is not used!! Thanks for the comment!!!!
I prefer to filet and then debone them. I can do it in about the same time it takes to do what you're doing. I hate fish bones, and there's very little waste the way I do it.
Yeah that is another way I have done it! I prefer now to cook them hole then separate the fillet from the back bone. Most the time it removes all the bones also. I think I will do a video showing how I do this. Thanks for watching and commenting it is much appreciated!!!
@@MrSecuritycontractor when you say your cooking method removes all.of.the bones afterward are you talking about the pin bones as well? I have cooked them several ways where you can pull the spine and ribs out after the fact, but those nasty pin bones are a different story. We typically broil all our trout so it's not like frying which might melt away some smaller bones,.or so I've been told.
@@tonylwright I don't want to say in all cases when I remove the back bone after frying I get all the pin bones but a lot of times I don;t have any problems with them. Not sure if they are dissolved during the cooking process of what but it seems to work out. I do occasionally find them in the fillet so I don't want to make it out like it is the perfect method!! Thanks!
Gatechar B! Yes, It works for larger and even smaller ones! I have never tried it on a salmon though! Might have to give that one a try!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!!!!
Thanks ok I did this video to help people!! I am going to make.a.video for you about how I deal with the bones!!! I will shoot it this coming week and try to upload it the following week!!! Not sure if you have subbed but check back then for the video!!! It is super simple way of getting the bones out!!! Thanks, marty!
I kept looking at this over and over. Finally I did it on my own! Thank you
Thank you! I am redoing this cleaning video in the next few days with better equipment!!
Awesome video. I've been fishing for 50 years and still learned a few things. Thank you.

Nice clean method, brother. However, personal experience: do not watch with a sensitive wife.
You would not be referring to the "fishin magician" are you! We can have her clean the next batch of fish to see if she learned anything and to get her over any sensitivities about it!
Im a woman that has cleaned many fish. I gut mine that way but then i put them in a shallow pan with some water and heat them up enough to pull the skin right off. I heat them in the oven.
Helpful, thanks.
Glad it helped!! Thanks for.watching!!

Love it.
Thanks Neil!!!! I appreciate the comment and you for watching!!!
Awesome video👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it!!!!!
Will this process work for other kinds of fish, or just trout? Great video!
I have never tried it on other fish so one would have to try it! I will try next time I catch something other than trout! Great question!! Thanks for watching!!!
Very cool, nice video! Another noob question. Will this work on any fish?
Not a noob question it is a good one! I have only ever used this method on trout, steelhead and salmon! Bass I fillet same with crappie and catfish. It is worth a try on other species!
Thanks!
Thank you, for watching and commenting Sara!!!!! Hope it helps!!
I've definitely been guttin fish the hard way

Me too.
Try it this way Dekota and let me know how it works for you!!!! I think you will be pleased!!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!!!!!!!
If I get lucky, and the trout do their part, I'll try this method tomorrow. If not, I'll try it when the stars align next time. Lol
MrSecuritycontractor I was able to try it yesterday. Worked excellent.
Who on Earth was the first person to figure that out?
I,,, was,,,???? LOL! I will take credit for this method!!! Who knows probably a commercial fishermen!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!! Do you like the method???
Does this work with most fishes or is it a trout thing only?
Yes, a far as I know it should work on other species of fish! I am going to upload a new video on my other channel were I address this question and try it on a bass! I will add a link here for you if you want to watch! thanks for the great question!!!
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is there a reason why you didn't remove scales?
Sorry for the late reply!!! I don't remove scale on trout because the scales are so small they have never been a issue. It would not hurt to remove them with a knife but I never have! Thanks for watching and commenting!!!

Not in a trout stream. My fish are alive until I yank them out
I prefer to filet and then debone them. I can do it in about the same time it takes to do what you're doing. I hate fish bones, and there's very little waste the way I do it.

Can you do this with a bigger trout?
Gatechar B yea just pull harder lol
Gatechar B! Yes, It works for larger and even smaller ones! I have never tried it on a salmon though! Might have to give that one a try!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!!!!
Billy Reilly!! Love the comment!!! Thanks for watching!!!!!

Thanks ok I did this video to help people!! I am going to make.a.video for you about how I deal with the bones!!! I will shoot it this coming week and try to upload it the following week!!!
