[FONT="Comic Sans MS"]I agree, there is nothing worse than to see half the fish left on the bone. I personally refused to let the mates on any boat clean my fish, no matter what king it is. I want all the fish not hale. It it not hard to do. It just takes a little time intil you get the hang of it.

I remember we were out in the stream and loaded up on dorado. One person on the crew decided to help with the cleaning and after watching him filet a couple we told him we would finish. His filets were about as thick as a slice of ham and that was before he tried to cut the skin off.

Having seen many Drum carcasses floating in Breezy Lee over the years one thing comes to mind. As many know, Drums are WORMY! Possibly They cut around the worms!?? Either way, I would agree that one should dispose of these "filleted" properly. Half-assed fish cleaning gives Us a bad rap and is wasteful.

I fish alot offshore and for blue fish and after long days of fishing we come back to clean the boat and the normal procedure. but ill walk to the cleaning house to clean our catch and i'll usually look over to see what other people catch, and there will be flounder about 5 or 6 inches long and they there are dead in the bucket. it really gets me mad when people catch those fish that are under the size limit which is 14 inches in nc.

Was watching some bluefish being cleaned by a
"professional". The guy that caught the fish wanted the cheeck meat. Cleaner didn't know what he was talking about.
I have to admit, If cleaning a new species with no one to show me how, I may not do a great job on the first one till I figure out where to cut. After that It's all good.

To many people use dull knives.
