Baker Lake 2001- (continued) 
It'a time to enjoy the fruits of our fishing labors!
We kept a few walleyes and smallmouths to enjoy for dinner. This is me showing a smally that is about to go under the knife.
A canoe paddle makes a great filet board. This is my bentshaft I'm fileting on. You'd think using the bent shaft for a filet board would be difficult but I've found that it really works out well on the ground, even better than a straight shaft. It seems you can always work the shaft in the contours of a rock or hollow or stump.
I started using a serrated edge filet knife several years ago after being a straight-edge purist all my life. (Yup, I was a knife snob....) I'll never go back. The serrated edge makes is MUCH easier to use on those tough bass and northern bones. If you've never used one, give it a try. |
