How to Fillet Crappie Quickly with Mr. Crappie

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ก.ย. 2024
- Wally Marshall, a.k.a Mr. Crappie, has probably forgotten more about cleaning crappie than many anglers will ever learn. He's an accomplished angler and promoter, but more than that, he's a man with a genuine love of all things crappie fishing, including cleaning and eating them. In this short video, he shows us how to clean a crappie in under 60 seconds. When he's not explaining how to fillet crappie quickly, he actually cleans them in under 30 seconds. So he can whip through a limit of 20 crappies in under 10 minutes with his Smith's Mr. Crappie Slab-O-Matic Electric Filet Knife. We watched him do it on this outing in Texas.
Quick, fast, and in a hurry, Marshall demonstrates the best and cleanest cut and de-ribbing technique. Then talks about how he likes to cook them up and his absolute favorite part of the crappie.
If you want to get good at cleaning crappie quickly, this might be the quickest and simplest video to learn.

Still like old school. Love to scale them and then fillet them leaving the skin on.
Crappie man: 90% of crappie are fileted with an electric knife
Me: who has been fishing for 25+ years and never owned an electric knife 🤨
Yeah I just picked up a $15 rapala fillet knife and it works just fine.
Exactly
My first thought was "wow that's a lot of waste".
He didn't keep hardly anything ! and those were good crappie !
Over half the comments are pointing out how wasteful your method is....I agree.
I started questioning things when he said 90% of people filet crappie with an electric knife, then when he through out a 1/4 of the edible fish I realized I should find this info elsewhere. Use your head out here folks and stay safe on this great wide web.
cats are the same way unless you want to save the belly meat.
This is a first that I saw anyone leave it attached to the tail, that is the exact way I do striped bass with electric or manual knife, very nice
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.
I agree with James, he wasted too much of the fish
DO NOT LISTEN TO ANYTHING THIS MAN SAYS. If he was a butcher he would be fired!
I'm pretty happy with how my fillet knife works.. this seams to be more wasteful
Thank you! It'd been so long I couldn't remember how
They got meat way up to their eyes on the tops of their heads I like to get that too tbh lol😂🤝🏾I leave nothing and it’ll still be boneless ! I love crappie😩🔥🤝🏾
Wasting meat on the tail though
just wasting the whole fish! . . . for years !
Best tasting fish on earth IMO
I waste nothing. He left some meat near the tail and I also use a regular filet knife and take the meat off those ribs he threw away. The riblets are the best part. You don’t fry them as long as the filets or they’ll over cook. I fry them first. I live on a dead end road next to Ray Roberts and saw Wally’s truck go past my home one day and turn around. Guess he was looking for a hidden boat launching place.
💯 I keep that middle part too. The crappies I’m catching here be over 2 pounds.
@@tysonprice109 doesn’t seem worth it but on big crappie and with a 25 fish limit, those ribs will make a decent meal. I’d rather eat them than the fillets.
James , please make a video and share , it would be great to see how you do yours 👍
I enjoy learning new way's
@@adamUDavies same way he does it but after he flipped the fillet and then then started to cut the meat from the skin. I start cutting the meat closer to the tail. He left a small section there. I was raised not to waste fish or game. Those ribs he threw away have a thin slice of meat. I save them all in a pile and after I’m done filleting the sides from all the crappie I take a normal fillet knife (not electric) and start just behind the pin bones and shave that meat off the rib bones. They look like very thick potato chips when you fry them. I do that only on crappie over 12”. The ribs are ready just a few seconds after they float to the top of the oil. Cook them separate from your fillets so you don’t over cook them. Better eating than the fillets to me. You’ll think it’s not worth the trouble but you’ll get 50 of those riblets with a 25 fish limit and it’ll surprise you how much is actually there when you fry them all up. Takes a good sharp knife.
He left A WHOLE LOT of meat bro
That's how I like to clean my croppys too.. but I save the cheek meat also, it's about the size of a dime but if you clean 20 fish you'll have 40 fish nuggets when you save the cheek meat.
I'm guessing you're from Tennessee
Most of these comments about "wasting" fish are only valid for a fish that you bought at a market and are disposing of in a landfill. Wally is filleting fish that he has caught and throwing the carcasses back into the lake from which he caught them. Circle of life my friends - eat what you want and put the rest back into the ecosystem where they will eventually become tomorrow's catch.
There's also something called want and waste. Which you can get prosecuted for if you don't take all the edible meat of any game you take from the wild. Yeah circle of life but don't be lazy. Because the hyenas aren't 😢
Yup, do what you want and not what is right. Every creature harvested should be used to it's reasonable usefulness. ALSO in my State throwing the "carcasses" back in the lake is illegal. Mr Crappie is not a true sportsman: a Sportsman does not waste resources that they have harvested.
He did a great job
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man how to fish and you feed him for life.
unless 80 % gets thrown away . .
These other guys can take a hike….you did great Wally! After fishing all day I want my fish cleaned quick, I’m not going to sit their and try to get ever morsel of meat. Electric knife is the way to go! 👍🏻
Batter dipped or cornmeal breaded? What does everyone think?
Cornmeal
Crappie - mashed potatoes with spots 😂
I've never wasted so much before like that I pick the bones out
Need to do a giveaway fillet knife
Here’s the reason why people fillet with electric knife: cause they caught A LOT and saves time cleaning them. If you catch less than or about 12? It’s not bad but if you catch 30? Well that takes a lot of time
I sometimes eat hole but there are so many small bones. You’d never give a boney fish to a young child. I have enough problems as an experienced eater , eating by hand . You really don’t lose any meat to the naysayers.
Seems like alot of the meat is left on the fish to me
If yall want bones go ahead😂😂😂
I just watch this man take a filet, cut half of it off, and throw it into the water.
Your filets contain bones??
I like to spend an extra 4 hours to save .5 oz of all the meat you wasted! Just kidding, cleaning 25-50 fish, I do em exactly like you.
This is the correct response.
I’m with ya I got 25 crappie in my basket i ain’t dilly Dickin around for a few little chunks
A 1000lb steer give you 600 lb of meat.People just like to pick on others.
People saying he wasted fish. How ? Your only going to get down to the bone, with an electric or fixed blade knife. Ya'll eating the lips, eyes, and fins too?
I guess they have another definition of fillet/filet. The part he cuts would be considered a riblet, which is not part of the filet cut. (Granted, his cuts could be better or precise...but say if you catch 35 fish, it's about efficiency not maximum yield. Which is the example where filet cuts are best applied)
A lot of waste. Disconnect the fillet from the tail before skinning. You can use your thumbnail or, if you prefer, a fork to hold the starting edge in place. Also, don't just cut the ribs off - fillet out the ribs to preserve a good section of sidewall meat. Those two adjustments will take an extra few seconds and yield 20% more fillet. I prefer to scale and then fillet.
y’all better recycle all y’all’s cans and boxes the way y’all cry about a half bite of “wasted” meat
My dad would cut around the bones of the rib. Me I always cut from the tail up with electric knife
Interesting, cut from the tail up with an electric. What is the benefit over cutting from the head down toward the tail?
I feel bad for wasting a whole fish😔😕
I won’t goon TH-cam to know how to fillet a fish anymore
I like filleting fish cuz it’s much more enjoyable to eat that way but I always cringe on how much meat is wasted as apposed to frying them whole n pickin it off the comb…
There's something to be said for eating fish whole. Might be more work but it is delicious and as you note, very little wasted meat.
Emmmm hmmmm fire 🔥 up that grease
Wasted a lot of meat
If you love the tail section why are you waisting some of it ???
I prefer to filet my crappie with a chainsaw.
You should leave more meat on. Not enough waste.
Very wasteful
I was thinking the same and ran to the comments.
There’s always one or two lol
No all that's mainly left is bones....
And I thought he was a professional. Dang!!!
It's really not...
Just throw the whole fish away. Remember me from Louisiana at the classic when I wiped that smile off your face when I showed you the crappie I had caught. 😊😊😊
I bet you are a joy at parties...
😊😊
@@briandifit1447I bet I am too!!
@@randyharell4035 Coming back to reply again. Proof you're not.
😮
I have 1 of these and used it today for the first time and burned it up first time. Maybe I had to many fish for it idk but I don't recommend it at all
He just missed a lot of the rib meat. He did waste meat, but he got most of it.
Note to self: Never use electric knife.
You mean you fillet them little Croppy?
It's crappie man, not "croppy," wth is a croppy
How to filet a fish and throw away the filet.
Not much meet left 😅
Dont matter with this live scope all the fish will be gone !!!
Not really unless you want to eat bones
Huge waste of meat wally
What a waste! You can take a little more time and not waste as much fish
You missed meat by the head.
😂😂😂
Filleting with an electric knife creates too much waste.
You people saying he’s being wasteful have NO IDEA WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT!!!😂😂😂😂
If livestock were butchered like how his fish are filleted we would get 250 Lbs of meat from a 1200 Lb steer. What a waste of good food.
Hellen Keller could do better 😂
Holy sh!t if I fillet my crappie like that I'll probably just buy it. What a waste of meat.
how to waste all of a fish . . .
Way too much wasted.
So many comments about wasted meat. The title is how to filet QUICKLY”. He doesn’t say it’s the only way or the best way. He says it’s the quickest way.
Lots of waste.
So much waste..you need a youtube video bro
Lmao take this zawall away from him lol wasting meat lol
What a waste of fish.👎
Pretty bad example, I’d say.
Nice technique! Thanks a million! #realfishingwithtiger180
