From Morgan City,LA here my grandfather had a big hook that he nailed to a tree he would take catfish place on hook make cut on each side of catfish neck use his skinning pliers to skin the fish and gut the fish then if he decided he would filet the catfish as well. Our yard chickens would eat the skin from catfish and we use the fish head and skeleton as crab bait, other fish bait
Finally a video that shows how to do it right. So many people waste the meat above the ribs. I’ve watched guides fillet and I get mad at all the meat they waste
Thanks for this i was straight up massacering a fish and trying to saw through something hard and this absolutely saved all of my meat for my pb catfish and it was my first time too 😂
I ordered two of these based on the reviews. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxqmKabisEv81ul5v7OhvVxxOpt2CJruI- Received them on time and they look good. I really like the handle on these knives as they feel good in my hand. I'm giving them 4 stars on look and feel, but have not had the chance to put them to the test yet. I mostly fish for catfish and can hopefully try them out in the next few days. If they hold an edge throughout a limit of catfish, they'll be worth another star.Update...I used the 9" strong and the 9" fillet on a mess of catfish. I did put a sharpening on these before I started. I want a razor edge to fillet fish but they weren't quite that sharp. The people who gave these knives crappy reviews and said they were sending them back was because they weren't razor sharp. So what, do they not have a knife sharpener?? Good grief! I mean you have to sharpen any knife from time to time.I personally like them and am pleased with them. If you're too lazy to sharpen a knife then hire someone to clean your fish lol.I've never bought a knife in my life that would shave hair right out of the box. Don't be afraid to purchase the knives. They're pretty nice in my opinion.
Hoss Outdoors does it like a professional, congrats from an old hand at cleaning Catfish. The (adventurer) I like when someone good as Hoss, at cleaning catfish takes time to teach others the correct way to clean catfish!
So, how do you get the skin off the first piece...the one you did with the non-electric knife ? Why didn't you leave it on the fish like you did with the electric knife ?
I remember watching my dad put a nail in the top of a cat fish head where there was a dimple and nail it to a 2x4. The nail in the dimple was supposed to kill the fish and after that you were to skin it. I tried it once and it didn’t kill the fish and when I started skinning it,it squealed 😵💫 That was horrible. If you have ever fished for cat fish you’ll know that they can survive out of water for a long time. I remember a man had a trunk load in like a50 ford . When he opened the trunk it was full of live fish so watching this young man filleting an actually dead fish that wasn’t going to squeal made me wonder how long was it out of the water ?
I make sure all my fish are dead before I fillet them, cuz I’m like you I don’t like to fillet something that’s still alive.. a quick pop in the head with a small hammer will take care of the squealing . Also I assure you that this fish wasn’t out of the water no longer than need be cuz I eat them and I don’t let my fish meat ruin 👍
And it doesn't get no better than that!
Well done, my friend! Sending you much appreciation all the way from Coffeyville kansas!
Thanks appreciate it!

@@AdventuresBeginHere409 appreciate it!
Thank you for the helpful video
Nice work. Lec-trick is the only way to go.
Very nice
There's also meat in the cheeks of the catfish
Excellent, thanks from cali
❤❤❤❤
Awesome! And you got all the meat!
Like the name of your channel. I like calling my non-southern friends hoss because they have no idea what I’m talking about
Haha thanks!
So, how do you get the skin off the first piece...the one you did with the non-electric knife ? Why didn't you leave it on the fish like you did with the electric knife ?
I do the same process as I do with the electric knife but on a board with a clamp
@@HossOutdoors7 Why do you use a clamp instead of skinning it ( leaving it on the fish ) like the side done with the electric knife ?
The best way to skin it is when u fillet it stop at the tail flip the meat the same way he did . But this guy don't know how to fillet right
No he dont !@@JesusLopez-zl4ry
My grandpa used to nail their head to a tree and skin em, but that was hard to do. I fillet em just about the same way you do, quick and easy.
My grandpa used to do the same thing as well, but yes I’ve found this to be easier for sure.
@@HossOutdoors7 You betcha
Yep, fine job!
Excellent!!! New sub.
Appreciate it!
👍🏼
Now Im wishing I have a electric knife at the moment 😅
Perfect
After seeing this video im going to start fishing cat fish
Don't forget them eggs
Pro tip: lay a piece of cardboard down and thank me later.
Yes it gets a little slick sometimes haha
@@HossOutdoors7 for sure
That's what I do
My uncle got so good he carried a ice chest with clean water and fileted the fish as he caught them
I wish I was raised doing stuff like this. I'm an adult now and see the value of learning these skills, but I'm still repulsed by it.
You dont cut the mud vein out?
Yes, I do before I fry them up
Nice fillets buddy you're really good with that electric knife new friend here I'm subbed 👍🏻
Thanks bud! I really appreciate it, thanks for the sub as well👍
I'm quick at skinning so once I fillet I don't wast any meat..100s of ways..no wrong or right..as long as it gets done is all that matters..good job
not sure if you heard, but everybody does it a little bit different !
Good eats

Is it just me or does this man look just like luke bryan?😂
Haha well thanks but I’m not as pretty as Luke Bryan 😂
Thanks!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💕
Well, there are plenty of ways to skin a cat.
Sir, you are good! Thanks for sharing 🙏🏿🇺🇸
I appreciate that
I shin mine first n thin filet them
Bro did this to a pregnant fish 💀
His fish his choice.
Wow…🙂😄🥹
😂😂😂
Almost like my dad ....
I recommend a sharp knife
Vid sounds very familiar
save the eggs thats the best part. and should've kept it attached to the tail so you can fillet the skin off
I do not recommend watching this with headphones. Who's stirring mac n cheese in the background?
Absolutely no time saved by the electric.
Ain’t gonna taste good if it’s getting contaminated by leaving all the guts attached
This is pengasus ,
"How to fillet a catfish"
I use a knife....just sayin....
Cut the tail off and let all the blood drain out
What a total waste of time catfish taste horrible!
😅😅MAYBE YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO CLEAN THEM 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
