HOW to clean a FLATHEAD CATFISH!

I've been wanting to make this video for awhile now and finally had the chance! It may be a long video but it is very thorough and step by step so that when you watch it you can clean a flathead as best as you can. Granted this is not the only way to clean a flathead but this is my favorite way to clean one and it works great! Good luck out there and enjoy!

There is also a good bit of meat left on the collar bones. Probably more than the cheek meat. Very good for the grill. you can also use a large spoon to scrape the carcas and get ~3/4lb of shredded meat for croquets or dip like you would make with salmon.

[@trevorrandlesoutdoorsiowa]

All good suggestions I can try this year on my next flathead thank you!

[@Itlo1345]

If you don’t already, You should burry your head and body discards, it’s great for the soil health

[@trevorrandlesoutdoorsiowa]

I’ve heard of doing that in gardens and it being very helpful.

[@AOKUrbanHomestead1]

Wow, that was awesome. Didn't know about the bleed oit via tail.

[@trevorrandlesoutdoorsiowa]

I do channel cats the same way. Really helps keep the meat clean.

[@NeilMccane]

Why is the red bad ....just fishier taste or 🤷‍♂️ great video btw.

[@trevorrandlesoutdoorsiowa]

@@NeilMccane thank you! Also yes it holds a fishy taste in the meat and can be unpleasant.

[@andycalcutt2177]

Nice video, thank you.

[@trevorrandlesoutdoorsiowa]

Glad you liked it!

[@sylviawilson972]

Can u cook and eat the head

[@trevorrandlesoutdoorsiowa]

So I have heard of flathead catfish head soup. From what I’ve been told it can make a very rich and flavorful broth but I’ve never personally tried it myself. Can’t hurt to try it sometime.

[@aProudOG]

Well done…thanks!

[@trevorrandlesoutdoorsiowa]

@@aProudOG thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I’m amazed at how much this video has spread and helped others.

[@JohnnyWilliamson-o7w]

If it took me that long to clean my fish catfish, I’ll give up and never fish again. I watched a few minutes and I swear I could’ve cleaned three fish had enough see you.

[@trevorrandlesoutdoorsiowa]

Well thank you my next flathead video will have to be a speed test to see how quickly and efficient I can clean one instead of explaining and showing in detail my favorite techniques I’ve found and why.

[@themagicman925]

wow you’re so nice

[@trevorrandlesoutdoorsiowa]

To each his own. I understand my videos may not be for everyone but for the ones they do help it’s pretty cool.

[@themagicman925]

@@trevorrandlesoutdoorsiowa either way man, i caught a flathead a filleted it the for the first time & it came out great! best tasting fish ive ever had. thank you sir

[@trevorrandlesoutdoorsiowa]

@@themagicman925 my favorite is the belly or cheek meat but it’s all amazing. If you ever want to try a good way to cook it that has an awesome crispy breading I’ve got a video for that as well. Quite different but it’s a sour cream binder and my favorite shore lunch fry breading. Comes out like crispy kfc but cajun. I think it’s titled “the best crispy fried fish”

[@quentinnailsare.2024]

I'm always hearing through the big ones back.i see you brother man

[@trevorrandlesoutdoorsiowa]

I usually throw back any that are 30+ lb unless I have a big fish fry coming up or if I can get multiple smaller ones instead.

[@fredroberts3087]

Although, I'll never catch one that big, I'll know how to clean him if I do. 🐳

[@trevorrandlesoutdoorsiowa]

You never know when that big one hits, but if your in an area where there’s flatheads there’s always a chance. Thank you for watching and this appplies to the smaller flatheads as well except the cheek meat is a lot smaller on 15lb or less fish.

[@belacp923]

They’re not the easiest fish to clean. Nicely done! Next one I get under 15 is toast ha

[@trevorrandlesoutdoorsiowa]

I still need to get a couple more and I’ll be ready for a big fish fry I plan on doing. Can’t wait to get into them again.

[@anglingwitharlieandfamily2036]

I'm sure you're neighbors sure like you running that bubba knife

[@trevorrandlesoutdoorsiowa]

No complaints yet. I have a lot of trees and distance in my yard but it’s not too loud in person.
