Yes I've seen this technique but it seems wasteful as so much flesh is torn away. I'm lucky to even catch flathead so when I do land one, I have to maximise the flesh to get a feed for the family.
I’m sure you would have easily completed 6. Gotta start somewhere, I’ve improved a lot since this was published but just haven’t bothered to make an updated video.
Good advice from Fizzy Beer. Atrocius weather continues to interfere with kayak fishing & hopes of catching a feed. The tide will turn, eventually. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely agree with you there, gotta start somewhere and experiment and then make improvements over time. I'm much better at it now, well I think I am! I just haven't bothered to make an updated video.
Brad - if you peel the skin , tale forward, it will take the pin bones as well.

I would have 6 fish filleted in that amount of time

Why is flathead fillets getting more and more expensive around $60kg now and up to $80 during festive seasons.

I will give a fillet knife a go soon, I just need to research a quality blade and then catch more fish to get used to it lol
That is the most complicated way to fillet flathead I've seen

That’s one of my favourite fish!!
Very expensive in Japan.
It's one of mine too!
Hey Brad , enjoy your vids ................... do yourself a favour, get a good flexible knife.
It's on my shopping list but I'll need to do some research on a quality knife
Mate you made that way harder than it is
Absolutely, that's why I'll never get hired by a fish monger
Wrong tool for the job
I know I am but there’s no one else in the family that will fillet fish
Nope
