Bubba Ion HACK for cleaning panfish!!! (Tips on how to clean panfish with electric fillet knife) 

Thanks for watching and commenting on the video. I really appreciate the feedback and I have had others tell me this trick you shared, I might have to try it once and see how I like it. Tight lines buddy 🎣 👍🏼👍🏼

My dad taught me the same you get it right you waste almost nothing

I do that as well!

That’s a very good tip. That’s the way I do it. So much easier. It acts like a holder and less chance to cut your fingers

It’s much faster in my opinion… I love using it! Hopefully it helps you become more confident, and remember you don’t have to go fast, start slow and keep the blade level.

Thank you for the compliment and comment, I appreciate it 👍🏼. No problem!

Same here man, my favorites to fish for. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Well thank you very much! I appreciate the view and comment.

Thank you, Bob! I appreciate the watch, comment, and compliment 😊. Glad I could help you become more efficient 👍🏼👍🏼

No problem 👍🏼

First off, thank you for the comment and watching the video. I appreciate it! I agree about your assessment of the knife itself, which is why I made this video. I should get into habit of cutting gill connector as you say but I catch and release fish a lot, if you have seen any of my other videos and sometimes I keep some and end up releasing later so I just don’t want to kill the fish if I’m unsure if I’m going to keep them. I can see how it would help and maybe I’ll try it in the future when I know for sure I’m going to keep them. Also, good tip on the filleting part, some others have also suggested that. Might have to try that too. Thank you for your feedback 👍🏼👍🏼

Thank you! I appreciate the watch and comment.

Love the Mr. Twister blades!

I also cut all the way to the tail and stop before you cut through the skin. Flip it over with the piece you just cut folded back into place, so the fish isn’t collapsing from the void. When you get both sides cut, fold them out and then you can cut them off the skin and you have something to hold onto, since it’s still connected at the tail. Then I cut the ribs out last. Probably clear as mud, but it’s worked well for me for 40yrs

Lol she loves to sit and watch me clean fish 😊

Thanks for commenting and watching, it was a great evening of fishing!

@@JMonOutdoors that's what we all look for having a great day of fishing but unfortunately it doesn't always happen great video

@@A1FishingFamily for sure; thank you very much! 😊

I have never used the Rapala ones, so I can’t speak to them. I’m sorry about that. But, I am satisfied with my Bubba!

The cutting board is made by Rapala, it has hole in it so you could fillet on a 5 gallon bucket and put waste into the bucket, through the whole. I got it from Fleet Farm a few years ago.

Love the bubba, but not the blades so much! I always buy Mr Twister blades!

I hear ya man! In my opinion, it’s personal preference… I like that they firm up a bit too, especially when fishing in hotter, Summer days, when you put them in saltwater, inside the fridge. Thank you for watching and for the comment! I appreciate it… tight lines bud!

Definitely batter them and fry them in whatever batter I’m feeling that day haha. Thanks for the compliment, I appreciate it! 🤙🏼

@@JMonOutdoors fish and chips 🤟👍

@@patricksauder3257 you darn right man haha. Not many things better 😋😅

Hi Jeremy, Do you have a tutorial on fileting a bass?

To add a little more insight, I resorted back to the twister blade because I KEPT cutting too deep in to fish when I was using bubba blades.

Lol 😂. Very awesome combo! I owned both for a bit too before I realized that I could put the Mr. Twister blades into the Bubba. I love it!

The blade is 7 inch standard blade that comes with Mr. Twister electric knife, but you can buy those replacement blades at Fleet Farm or online separately too, pretty sure there’s other places that sell them as well. I actually bought 2 packs the last time because I love them so much haha.

That’s a great tip!!! Thanks for mentioning 👍🏼👍🏼

Thanks for the advice

That would work

Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏼👍🏼 tight lines!

Cuz they are really rough and coarse. I don’t like them as much, especially for panfish.

To each their own 🤷🏽‍♂️

I do it, because it’s supposed to remove blood from the fillets and I’ve always heard that the whiter the filets the better they taste and I’ve always had luck with doing that and great tasting fillets. Just my way of doing things I guess.

@@JMonOutdoors OK, thanks, was just wondering...

@@davidcurtis5398 no problem, also seems to get rid of the slime better. I do have some fresh every now and then but I also vacuum pack and freeze some, so that’s my reasoning.

@@JMonOutdoors OK, I have found, for me, ( I don't have a vacuum packer ) that the best way to store and keep fish is to freeze them in a block of ice. I had some crappie for about 6 years in a block of ice, took them out, and they were as fresh as when they were caught.

@@davidcurtis5398 hey that’s a pretty ingenious way too. Never heard of anyone doing that before, but it makes sense on why it would work like that.

Haha definitely easier and more time efficient using electric!!!

They don’t make a battery powered knife…

@@JMonOutdoors oh

What’s that?

@@JMonOutdoors the backbones. I'm from south Louisiana and we all eat the backbones. Especially Saq-a-lait.

@@daviddaigrepont9485 I’m from MN… never had those in my life haha. Interesting.

@@JMonOutdoors try it and you'll like it. I've fried backbones for many in my 59 years and never had any not say, "Wow! We've been missing the best part!". The bones flavor the meat. I'm careful to leave a little extra on the backbones when cleaning them. And those fins and tails! Better than candy.

@@daviddaigrepont9485 I have never heard of anyone doing that before. I believe you in the candy part 😅. Might have to try that man!
