I guess you could fillet bream same as this, it gets mesmerizing watching that dude go through that sack of crappie. Note: this isn't the basketball player Grant Williams or I don't think it is. I've had a bream fry on my mind for about a week, guess I'm gonna have to go catch some.
 
Saw a guy at the cleaning table on lake Weiss one year that was as fast as that. I tried to do it fast and about cut my fingers off
 
Still have to come back cut the notch out because I always have a little piece of bone there you can see the stomach wall, that's fast but as few as I catch I aint standing there long lol
 
bluegill is the only fish i don't fillet. scale them, de-head and gut them. ready to fry...the skin is like a wee fish potato chip.:p

I don't really care for crappie fillets. Just don't have much flavor.
I did a crappie and a bream last year while.
Crappie was MUCH better. Bream I didn't care for.
Weird how people are so different.
 
I've done it both manually and an with electric fillet knife. Not quite as fast but I'm close. I do cut the ribs out after slicing the fillet off the skin. I don't care for the bones at all.

crappie filets dont have much flavor but much better than bream? surely thats a typo.
 
I fillet both crappie and bluegill. Both just as good. My dad prefers crappie whole.

I am quick filleting bluegill. I also get a super nice fillet. all with an electric knife, well I cut rib cage out with regular knife.

I would be up for a friendly competition, and quality of the fillet would be a factor also.

we could. i was going to post a video if i caught some big sand bass or stripers anyway. (you asked me on here one time about how i get thru striper ribs).

anyway ill post up a short video when i get some fish to filet. better practice cutting out those ribs better so you can get more of that belly meat.
 
I have filleted literally thousands of fish and used many knives. Regular and electric.

I purchased a bubba electric knife. It is ok.

I purchased the Bubba Pro electric knife. I have no clue what the difference is, but the Bubba Pro electric knife is by far the best I have ever used.
I catch several hundred hybrids every spring. I do not eat hybrids and I hate filleting them. Large hybrids are tough. New blades, many electric knives, the Bubba fillet knife, etc. all of them are terrible at cleaning large hybrids. At least 10 minutes and maybe longer.

The Bubba Pro electric knife, seconds to fillet a large hybrid. It flat out cuts.

Practice cutting ribs? Not sure about that. I cut the rib meat with a sharp fillet knife.

ive literally dressed tens of thousands. i used to work in the dressing room of a fish market when i was a teenager.

fileting the ribs out, not just cutting them out.

I prefer to cut the whole fillet out then the ribcage out of the fillet. I have seen several who filleted the ribs out, they all ended up with less meat than me. Not much less, but still less.
