I ordered two of these based on the reviews. th-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.
@reaperofdamnedsouls Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for sharing your feedback with us and our viewers. Until next time, good luck and good fishing.
@Governator88 Glad you enjoyed the video and it sounds like you had a good day on the water with some perch! Nice to hear and glad the you like the butter-fly method!
@MrAwesomevideos88 The Boa Jig'r rigged with a minnow is what we were using - it was the 1/2 oz size Boa Jig'r Thansk for writing in and good luck on the water!
I really like to learn from many different people, nobody "really" does it EXACTLY the same, and sometimes I pick up little "short-cuts". Thanks for making this video.
@michaelkevincox Glad you enjoyed the video and congrats on cleaning your first perch! Thanks for sharing your story with us and for tuning in. Until next time, good luck and good fishing!
@782Matty Great to hear from you in Ontario and it sounds like you live right next to some great perch fishing! Thanks for writing in and good luck on the water.
Cooking to me is an art. And watching great videos like this I can not only admire a professionals' techniques, I can also learn how to do this myself. Great video.
I used your butterfly technique on some rainbows my son and I caught the other day in a pond stocked by the city parks department. It worked great. Thanks!
@RcAntax Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the suggestion - we actually already have a nice video showing some fall perch that you may like - it will be on our youtube channel & is a great video....we catch plenty of jumbo perch! Thanks again for writing in and if we get a chance to do some ice fishing for perch this winter, we'll be sure to bring along our cameraman. Until next time, good luck and good fishing.
It's true there are small fine bones remaining in the fillet, but they soften when cooked. We'll check out your video as well & thats great that you have eliminated all of the bones. Thanks!
i tried this butterfly method for bass and other panfish like crappie and bluegills and it works amazing for them so thanks again for showing a new way to fillet a fish.
Excellent video, Sir! Very well articulated - clearly and descriptively. Nice job on those perch! Made me hungry too. I'm just about to start filleting 17 Perch caught this morning on Pigeon Lake, near Bobcaygeon, ON. Will be using your technique for sure. WELL DONE!!! A+++
Hello, I come from Germany and the Video is perfect. Im 14 Yers old, and the pearch is my favorite fish. This Video is good to understand. GREAT Greetings from Germany :-)
@timothyngim Thanks for writing in and sharing. As an option, yo can always keep the remaining fish, clean the inners and use it as a base for fish stock - it makes a great soup base.
Thanks for writing in with your feedback - if you want to, you can use the remains as a base for a soup stock, so nothing need to go to waste - thanks for writing in and good luck on the water :)
@the11kaj Yes, they do have smaller, finer bones. They can be left on the fillet (on perch and small walleye) and will soften as it is cooked and can be eaten safely. Thanks for sharing and good fishing!
@bybuttscppickel Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for subscribing - we have plenty more videos to share and it's great to hear that you are 13 are are into fishing - it's a fantastic sport! (PS - we also have a Thundermist fishing tips web site as well)
Glad you enjoyed the video and although I have not filleted a Tilapia, I'm confident that this method will work fine for them. I believe their bone structure is the similar to a perch and as for the sharpening of knives, we'll see what we can do :)
Hi Diego - suggest using live minnows for bait for the crappies - or - if you can not get any bait, a tiny 1/16 oz jigging spoon will also work :) Good luck
We used to get butter fried Lake Michigan Jumbo Yellow Perch at Phil Schmidt's in Hammond IN. They filleted with the skin on, but not only that, they left the tail on. That was my favorite part, tasty and crunchy. Try it, you won't regret.
Hi Erica - we do have a few flounder videos out there, but next year, we will try to make some longer ones for you :) Thanks for taking time to write to us and hope you had a great year on the water :)
@BlackAndThrash Nice to hear you caught some perch. The worms are typically found in fish, that come from shallow water lakes...you can eat them though :)
@ashcon1234 ...it may look like it, but the fish we definitely not alive - thanks for writing in and for tuning in as well. Until next time, good luck and good fishing.
i am also 13 and i can't stay off the water for more than 3 days. i keep fish only when a good size and i love your fish cleaning videos. i wasn't very efficient when i first started. thank you.
@erieaqua You're right about the sawing part. (The knife could have been sharper). The remainder which had some meat left contained small "Y" bones which we decided to leave on but with more effort could have been removed. Good observation! Thanks & good fishing!
@RiderAnthonyMartini The fish was not alive, however, when Claudio push down on him at that point, it pressured his mouth to open. Good observation and thanks for writing in. Until next time, good luck and good fishing.
I use a spoon to take scales off perch and bluegills. I do it under running water and it helps keep the scales from flying all over the place. The spoon curve deflects the flying scales so you don't find them in next week's supper. They go everywhere!!!
Wow this was 10 years ago? The quality seems so much more recent. You guys deserve more subs. You got one right here, thanks for the tips

One of the best "how to fillet" -videos on youtube for sure!

It's true there are small fine bones remaining in the fillet, but they soften when cooked.
We'll check out your video as well & thats great that you have eliminated all of the bones. Thanks!

@tristancooper1997 These are 2 very easy methods and you should have no trouble leaning them....thanks for writing in -good luck and good fishing!

@tundra161 Thanks for writing.....hope you have a great year on the water in 2012. Until next time good luck and good fishing!
Thanks for the video, it was my first attempt and my filet's came out very well!
Thanks for the suggestion - we'll keep this in mind for the future :) Until next time, good luck and good fishng
@TheCrazedFisherman You can feel the rib cage with the point of the knife. After a few trials you'll know where the end will be. Thanks & good luck!
Tried the butterfly technique on a some of my catch this weekend. Works so easy and the filets turn out so nice. Thanks!
Excellent! Good fishing!

Glad you liked it Brad and good luck on the water :)
@erieaqua You're right about the sawing part. (The knife could have been sharper).

Thanks guys for the tips. I just used the skinning technique on the 14 perch I caught in lake simcoe yesterday. Nice and easy.
That's a nice perch :)
Very helpful. Thank you for demonstrating on how to set up fish to eat.. Hopefully I can catch some big ones when I go fishing
@Vots Thanks for sharing - much appreciated!
@RiderAnthonyMartini The fish was not alive, however, when Claudio push down on him at that point, it pressured his mouth to open. Good observation and thanks for writing in. Until next time, good luck and good fishing.
This was awesome, thank you. Just got back from ice fishing at Jacksons Point, caught some big perch :) Thanks again!
I use a spoon to take scales off perch and bluegills. I do it under running water and it helps keep the scales from flying all over the place. The spoon curve deflects the flying scales so you don't find them in next week's supper. They go everywhere!!!
