A quick rinse before they get to table, and they're good to go.

I assume this is in regards to redfish being overrated. Sorry, but I really don't care that much for it, especially when they get bigger than about 18 inches.

Specs are easy as hell to clean. Catfish end in hand cramps

Thankfully, I tend to get most of my fish from bluer waters.
If you want good fried fish, there is nothing on this planet better than the head meat on a snapper. I will take the time to carve the cheek meat out of a snapper because it really is significantly better than any other fish I've eaten. I've never done it with anything other than snapper, though. I was tempted to try on a cobia this weekend.

I can agree with that. Anything bigger is only good for a couvillion.

I can see that. Then again, specks are also slimy as shite.
Not so much the slime, I just hate having to skin the frickers. I can filet the hell out of some specks. Some people say they just filet catfish, but I must have done it wrong because I can never do it. End up skinning them, and that's always a hassle.
I've only cleaned one gafftop though, and never a hardhead. Most of my catfish cleaning has been freshwater.

I've always fileted them. That said, there isn't an easier fish to clean than a schoolie speck. I love catching the big ones, but a chest full of schoolies makes for quite a feast.

Hell I gave up skinning all catfish years ago. Now I only filet them. Too lil to filet then you you are going to be bait.

Well, I've done Reds and Mangroves. Mangroves seem to have more meat to get to, but it seems like you catch bigger mangroves than reds these days, at least on average.

U just have to keep an eye out for em floating along in the gulf... Catch them on anything u can catch trout on

If what you consider cheek meat what we call the throats then it's great from all the snapper, cobia, amberjack and grouper.
