Scaling bream to fry whole

a old friend of my dad once told me you can knock the scales all in a minute with a pressure washer
Question is has anyone actually tried doing this?
Caught a mess today and I'm about to break out the old spoon to scale em (which doesn't really bother me) and was just curious.

We used to use an old 3' section of the tail of a trawl, with a draw string, and drag them behind the boat on the way back to the launch. They would come out completely scaled, and then you put them back on ice until ready to clean.

Seems like too much trouble. Takes like 20-30 seconds to scale one with a spoon

What about one of those barrel things where you just turn the handle?

Nail them all to a scrap piece of plywood and go to town with a pressure washer.

Don't know anything about the pressure washer, but a fork is much better than a spoon.

I used to do it with a water hose nozzle. but, you can't put them on ice. straight out of the live well.

Since I (appurntly) haven't offended anyone in a while --- just catch bigger bream and filet 'em.
I know some folks claim to (or actually do) prefer to eat 'em on the bone. But if you're feeding young'uns, and if you prefer to let Darwin sort out candidates other than your kin, get an electric filet knife.

A spoon. You baws are over thinking this. I need to go catch a few.

Watched a guy use air to scale chinquapin which are much easier to scale than a bluegill and there were scales flying every which way
I prefer the spoon. You get every single scale off them and it's almost like part of the ritual of catching bream
Reminds me of fishing with my grandparents and going back and cleaning the fish and having a big fry Good times

A small stainless wire brush works great too.

Something else we used was a piece of broom stick cut about 1' long. We then take a beer bottle cap and screw it to the end with and use that to hold the fish down, works great

If you are in a boat with a motor. Go to a store that sells crawfish traps. Buy said trap for like $7. Tie a piece of roap to the back of it. Put fish in on way back to landing. Drive boat just fast enough to keep basket on top of water. Pull it for 30 seconds to a minute depending on number of fish in it. Pull trap and fully scaled fish back into boat. Cut the heads off and gut when you get home.
If you pull it too long, you'll pull back in fish skeletons, so beware.
