<p>The chore of fileting can seem daunting at times but you just have to keep thinking about the end result. Fresh fried gills and whatever sides you prefer, the fish is so yummy, so tasty , sooooo gooood. It is worth the task but if I am feeling tired or rundown and have some fish in the freezer then I may just do a catch and release day. Really depends on how hungry you are for fresh gills, just typing this is making me hungry. Might have to have a catch and eat day tomorrow. LOL</p>

I have discovered that if I set down it my table in the yard , under the shade tree , with the radio going ,a cold beverage, extention cord for my electric knife , the full cooler next to my left leg, a towel on my leg, a 5 gal bucket lined with a garbage bag for guts between my legs, cutting board in front of me on the table, and a big bowl of ice…</p>
<p>Earl , I feel your pain, many many times I have returned home from the water only to find that I had an extra good day, now comes the cleaning. I have discovered that if I set down it my table in the yard , under the shade tree , with the radio going ,a cold beverage, extention cord for my electric knife , the full cooler next to my left leg, a towel on my leg, a 5 gal bucket lined with a garbage bag for guts between my legs, cutting board in front of me on the table, and a big bowl of ice which I throw the fillets into to keep them cold and fresh while I clean the rest. I make myself comfortable. If I have help I put them to work removing the ribs from the fillets, if not I do that too, I can process about 75 fish an hour with the electric knife and my assembly line . When it's all done it's easy clean up , just don't forget to haul the fish guts off, they get angry overnight and it makes the job a little tougher the next day. Many a times I have spent a couple of hours at the table and the neighbors come a running to watch, they say I make it look to easy, and they know what's next , " Fresh Fish Fry ". One summer I burn up 3 electric knives cleaning the days catch, thats why I always keep a spare electric knife on hand. Next comes the fillets getting hot in the grease , french fries, homemade hush puppies, cole slaw, slice of purple onion,and my homemade tarter sauce, sweet tea or other adult beverage, it gust dosen't get any better than that, I eat bluegill, I eat big bluegill.

<p>McManus is a hoot! He's just a funny guy and brilliant in the way he weaves humor and the outdoors. All of his books are 'keepers'.</p>
