 It was brought to my attention that you can't get the belly meat clean off of a fish with an electric.  It was mentioned that panfish are particularly difficult.

Below is are the fillets from an 8.5" bluegill:

 

Admittedly, if you make a flub with an electric, it's a tougher mess to fix.

Tasty little buggers they are.
Nice job
 

If we're not supposed to eat animals, how come they're made out of meat?

See you took someone along that could catch fish!
In my lifetime I have seen fence row to fence row farming and the return of CRP and game to the landscape.Now we face again the prosepect of fence row to fence row again! Sportsman are our own worst enemy in that we fail to look forward and focus to much on the now!

After being a dyed in the wool, old fashioned filet knife kind of guy for many years, I switched over to an electric about 3-4 yrs ago.  Absolutely love them!  Especially when it comes to the ease at which I can filet out the belly meat.  Rapala curved blades are what I prefer.  


I remember as a kid a fella who would filet 5" sucker minnows just to prove he could do it although I don't recall him going after the belly meat. 

For the record, I too would be happy to catch and keep a good mess of 8.5 inch gills.  They are delicious!
