I've watched a few similar vids the last few days and I think this is the best one so far! To the point, well spoken and clear. Nice short video and the method looks to be the most effective and easy. I will learn this way as it seems to be the smartest!
Great knife work JT. Everyone does a redfin a different way, no question. If you like a stiff knife, maybe try a boning knife. A meat worker gave me an expensive one (which I have misplaced) and it made it so much easier. Another flexible knife to take the skin off though. Same guy taught me to catch the fish in the morning, then take the head off and guts out, put the fish on ice or in the fridge to firm the flesh up, have the odd beer and a sleep, then fillet firm flesh later. Sure works well on smaller fish. Just spoke with a guy who like the meat around the ribs - too much work for me when the esky is full! A great season on Lake Hume ATM.
I thought redfin were in the carp category of eating wise? I mean I had one when I was a kid but never since and don't remember the flavour? Maybe depends what water you catch them from?
@@markhepworth caught a lot of perch in Michigan and Indiana and not all the perch and bright finds but ALL the big ones did leading me to think they r a subspecies in the perch family like sand perch if u know what they r
@@dannydecare2116 Not familiar with sand perch,I’m in the UK and from what I’ve seen of your North American perch they exactly the same our European perch,the record here is over 6lb,but a good perch here is anything over 2lb,what sort of size are you guys catching them at?
@@markhepworth Perch, Yellow3.75 lbs1947 is the state record but iv seen perch that would go 5 .lds and sand perch only get around 3 inches has a bullet shaped nose and they tend to hug the bottom
@@dannydecare2116 Nice mate,they sound a pretty similar size to here, we get the in ponds lakes rivers and canals,they get big if there are lots fry in the waters,it’s generally live baits or lures that get the big ones here,and a big lob worm which I think you call night crawlers
Good video JT, thanks for those few Red Fin & two new plastics you gave us today at Lake Meran, much appreciated.
Cheers man, excellent tutotial

Good video. Saved to bookmarks for future reference and subscribed.
Awesome work JT. Loved it. It's a bit different to the way I do it. Beautiful fish too. 👍👍
Cheers mate, 40 years to refine it!
Great fish Great job 👍 👏
nicely done
In the US we say knife, not Knoff. Lots of fish here with same bone structure so good instruction.
Nice Identical to how I fillet Bream and most others
like a surgeon.

No redfin is delicious!
It’s from the Bass family mate,nothing to do with Carp (cyprinid family)
@@markhepworth fair enough it's just I think I heard they are an invasive species like carp so I kinda put them together is all
👌
Redfin I know them as yellow perch
They are Perch,that is the name,don’t know Why the Aussies call them red fin,yes the the fins are red...but the species already has a name 🤷♂️

Why don’t you call them Perch in Australia..?
Because we have native perch already
