I'll be honest. If I saw someone at the cleaning station pull that machete out to clen a walleye, I would have scoffed at them. But, that was very impressive and I've cleaned hundreds, if not over a thousand walleye in my lifetime. Kudos to the master filleter in this video!!
Awesome. My gramps would clean fish with literally whatever knife he could get his hands on. He grew up fishing and hunting to live and was just really proficient breaking animals down.
Interesting, will have to modify my machete! Think the secret is that the edge is convex rather than a fine wedge or hollow ground. I do that on the butchering knife I use to remove the "silver skin" from the venison - the convex edge let's me control how close I cut sorta like the offset table does on a jointer. Having the mass and a long cutting edge makes for easy cutting .
Coincidentally, he Jim (lodge owner who was filleting in the video) also has a sword and a 2-bladed axe that he uses to fillet fish on special occasions.
Now that's how you clean a walleye. I'm pulling out the machete. That knife easily deals with the rib bones and only would have to be sharper once a month 😜
This is the fishermen's way of filleting a fish. The other ways are the chefs' ways. But sometimes you do need a knife with flex in it. I never filleted a walleye. But some fish have a big protruding back bone that you might have to fillet up and over. If you do it the fishermen's way you might leave behind a lot of meat. But those walleyes there look good eaten. Wouldn't mind having a plate.
Looks like it's just easier, pushes right threw the bones no problem, and easier to control. The key is for the knife to be very sharp. I still see lots of waste though, and the cheek meat was not removed.

Men of few words are the ones from whom you can learn the most.

Don't need a sharp knife, just a cool hat and sunglasses
How many times has he done this huh? Now that's a knife
Wow.....he nailed it and didn’t have any flex in his blade, either. That sword was razor sharp!

What a boss. He knows how to handle that fucking sword very well
Fucking sword 😂

These master chefs only filet fish that are already gutted & prepped. Not what I call really fileting the fish.
Now that’s a knife
Gotta say impressive knife work. Other then looking Very Cool, why the big knife??? Thanx: Shawn (Alberta)
