Think I like the vinegar spray method the best. Seems that pouring boiling water on your fish will pre-cook it. I have had fish escape out of my hands and land in dry dirt, when I scraped the dirt off with my filet knife all the slime was gone.
I wondered about the boiling water cooking the fish too but when I skinned that fish there was absolutely zero indication of any cooking, even directly under the skin.
Just used the boiling Water trick, made cleanup on my trout so much easier than my method of ‘stick it in the sink and pray my water bill doesn’t go up’
That is awesome. Method one is fast but I think the vinegar mite be better if u just use a bit more of it. Do u think with desliming the pike it will make the meat taste better cause then u don't have the chance of it getting on the meat when u fillet it
@@calebwistad wow. I didn't make it up there this year I did make it to the potato River and the Tyler fork rivers over by mellen and Hurley and they were so low like a mont and a half ago there was only like ankle deep water where there should have been knee deep water. We desperately need rain this fall and snow this winter.
@@calebwistad hey Caleb I saw your video on braided line I am just getting into using braided line I have some suffix 80 LBS test with a gar rig what would be a good knot for tying a sweviel clasp
I can’t believe you’re wasting all that delicious slime! I wipe it off into a bucket and pour it into my fish stew really adds an extra flavor I think everyone would enjoy. 😉 Great video.
My grandpa always just wrapped them in newspaper after catching and by the time he was ready to fillet most of the slime would come off with the newspaper.
I’m quite positive they would work on any fish. With the boiling water you would want to do it a little quicker because of a trout’s thin skin. The vinegar trick I know works for trout because I saw another guy do it.
In the most critical moment, the entire purpose of this video, you saw it, but we couldn’t. Can’t see through the arm and back. Please fire the videographer. Thanks for the lessons though, we dos learn what to do. Thank you!
How about you just filet the fish and ignore the slime. Total waste of time for no good reason. Anybody who is that bothered by the slime should probably be targeting other species.
Personally, I almost always do just that. I only am covering this subject because I’ve had so many comments from people saying they hate pike because they are so slimy and that’s the reason they don’t want to keep them. Pike are one of the best food fish in freshwater so i am really trying to help people remove that barrier that’s keeping them from trying pike.
That's not true. I de-slime my fish for the following reasons: 1. Supposedly less fishy taste 2. Easier to handle (safer, better, cleaner cuts) 3. Less slime permeating through newspaper and onto wooden counter

Nice!

I always just took newspaper and wiped the slime off. cleaned it up pretty good
That works ok too in a pinch.
Will give this a try.
Looked like you had a kettle right there, probably easier to pour out of that than a pot.
Yep. True. Go give it a try!

lol. Awesome
I usually keep all my fish on ice in the cooler! I think next time I'll pour some vinegar over them on the way home!
Give it a try!

I do think it will keep the meat cleaner. Yes.
@@calebwistad how did u do trout fishing on the brule this year
@@derekpiehl85 terrible. It was super high and blown out the whole early part of the season so I only made it twice. Hooked 3 and landed 1.

🤤 😂
I use it when I run out of lubraderm.
Sweet tips
Thanks!
Remember slime is on your side oh yes it is!!
😂 I can hear it.
Doesn't the boiling water cook the fish
Not the way I did it. Just a few seconds pouring over it on each side. I skinned that fish and there was no evidence of any cooking whatsoever.
@@calebwistad ok thanks
Slime time! 🥬 🐉 🎣 🔥 🐐
Yep!
Fire your cameraman 😂 couldn’t see the fish, only your great big strong shoulder.
😂
My grandpa always just wrapped them in newspaper after catching and by the time he was ready to fillet most of the slime would come off with the newspaper.
I’ll have to try that!
Has anyone tried either of these methods on Rainbow trout?
I’m quite positive they would work on any fish. With the boiling water you would want to do it a little quicker because of a trout’s thin skin. The vinegar trick I know works for trout because I saw another guy do it.
Top life hack!
👍

Haha. Sorry man, it gets a little tricky when the star, the editor, the photographer, the director and the script writer are all the same person. 😆
I find the best way is to throw them in the swamp for the turtles and other creatures
Good idea! I’m gonna remove the fillets first though…..
