[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]Here's a tip I learned at a cleaning station at Lake Powell. We had three electric fillet knives and. Two electrics and an AC/DC powered one. I used the lighter AC/DC fillet knife and it was pretty worthless. With 50-60 stripers in front of me, the AC/DC knife heated up to where you could barely hold it after filleting 8-10 fish and didn't have the power to get the job done cutting through the large rib bones.

[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]I switched to the AC fillet knife and though it worked better, it did not compare to the guy's knife next to me. He was busting through his fish a lot faster than I was.[/size][/black][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]I asked him what fillet knife he was using and it was a Sunbeam kitchen electric carving knife! The guy finished his fish and let me try his out. What a difference. He said he used to buy electric fishing fillet knives but was going through one every season because he lived very close to Wahweap and fished Lake Powell very often.[/size][/black][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]He decide to try his wife's electric kitchen carving knife. It worked great and the best thing was that he could go to WalMart and replace them a lot cheaper than electric knives designed for fish. Changed my opinion on electric fillet knives. Go figure...[/size][/black][/font]
