Redfish fillet knife

Since Wal Mart probably won't send me my Bubba Blade I'm looking for suggestions. What do you use/recommend?

Should've said no electric. Already have one.

I think I might have an Old Hickory knife like that. Never thought to use it for Redfish.

Technique is important, serrated blade breaks through scales best in my opinion. After initial cut I run knife along the spine separating flesh from spine - I don't saw through a single scale doing this.
I like serrated blade with straight tip

Just recently was given a Titan Tech filet knife which is very very good. Not inexpensive though. The handle is non-slip grip like that on a boat deck.
Cuts extremely well and is very sharp. Been using on redfish, black drum, mahi and tuna. I'm impressed

In my experience, electric knives are fine but they all break after a few long cleaning sessions with fish with tough scales and think rib cages, like Reds, Drum, and Snapper. After years of frustration, I finally settled on the Dexter Russell Bread Knife and it'd be hard to convince me to use anything else. Give it a try, you'll be surprised, I promise...

This. I carry 2 knives. 1 serated and 1 filet. I make the cut behind the gills with the serated. Down the back with the filet. I pop the filet knife all the way through near the anal fin. I'll them pick back up the serated and saw through the skin of the stomach area to cut the filet loose. This is the method I use to get the cleanest half shells with the least waste.

I have that one and a 12 inch serated bread knife. Both work well
