Step 1 remove specs from freezer and throw in garbage can.
Step 2 release crappie filets in grease enjoy.

I don't get how someone could get that taste from bass, bream, or sac-a-crappie. Big catfish? Sure...

When growing up it was the norm to scale them and leave the skin on.
I don't have time for that.
Cut out the belly then filet. 14 seconds a fish.
If I fished in Vermilion Bay and caught 4 fish a trip I might consider slowing down.

Start at anal fin and go straight down to backbone then cut parallel.Can do it without ever stopping the knife.
ETA: same way as video linked in first page

Many guys I know tape the trigger with electrical tape. I don't catch that many fish.

There's your problem.
If I hit the trout really well, I'll fry a bunch that night and give the rest away. Fresh specs in the fryer are good, but not better than sacalait.
I knew the fresh vs. salt pissing match would start when I saw the title.

Me too, but it sure looked like a lot of meat on that belly section.
I have successfully used this method, which saves all of that belly meat. I wouldn't do this if I had a limit of trout though. That belly meat is so good too.

That dude is good. I really like the tip about the spine. I lose a lot of meat by following it with the blade. If I don't have a ton of fish to clean, I am going to start doing this on fish with a large spine.

Electric knife...no skin...if I do it perfect there is almost a silver film left

No joke. It would take 2 days to clean a limit

Might try it just to frick with my fishing partner. He cleans 45 trout. I clean 5.

Bass moreso than sacalait and bream, and I only mean that in relation to how clean tasting and flaky specks are. Perhaps not a "mud" taste, but a slightly fishier taste. Very hard to explain. And it's not that I dont mind fishy taste, I'll gladly devour bass or anything else, even catfish, but it's not superior to the sweet and light taste of specks.

Try doing it like the video on the first page. It's super fast and easy and I can clean a limit of specks in under 10 minutes if I'm setup right.

That's how I normally do it, but I start behind the anal fin. Not sure what difference it makes.
