hey, you fish keepers

[flyandtie]

let me start with this, im a catch and release guy period, i dont eat fish not even store bought salmon, i dont like the flavor(something is probably wrong with me i know haha)

anyways, a friend of mine keeps some fish from the local lake(dumb stockers) and he used a big companies letter opener to gut the fish.
it looked like this:

he would slip it in near the gill plate and slide it down the belly right down to the anal fin, and gut the trout and do anything else, then put it on ice in all of about 2 minutes.

so if you didnt already know theres something you may want to check out.

Slick way of gutting a fish. Open letters with it Monday-Friday and gut fish with it on the weekends. Killing two birds with one stone. Ingenious.

Even the best of us have a fish die on us from time to time. This is a great way to enjoy tasty, stuffed fish. Follow the instructions exactly and chill the fish over night before boning. I have yet to try it on perch but don't see why it won't work on pan fish as well as trout and salmon.

Couldn't help noticing that the product name is "The Wunder Boner"...


Maybe they should have thought that one through a little longer...?

Same principle as a gut hook on a hunting knife.......great idea, but in my limited experience with trout I will still need a knife to cut the sinew attaching the guts to the cavity, and scrape the spinal sac.
