<p>Lilburn most people now a days bypass that step. They fillet there fish and skin them much easier and less messy not to mention lots quicker. I will admit some fish taste better with there skins on example is yellow perch.</p>

<p>I saw one a few years back at a fish camp made out of an old clothes dryer. It worked really well. I fillet everything now. If it is too small to fillet it goes back.</p>

<p>I also skin my bluegills but i always scale my Lake perch. The commercial scaler is awesome it has like sandpaper in the drum spins around with water sprying into the drum. When it opens back up in the spring I will try to do a short video to show you guys how it works. :)</p>

<p>I have seen guys build there own out of metal drums and an electric motor. Looks like alot of work. Someone I know has the one from Cabelas. He says it takes while but it does a good job. I am lucky our lake has a fish cleaning station with an industrial potato peeler which works great for a scaler. They are very expensive but you can do 25 gils in about 3 minutes.</p>

<p>I use to think about it especially the one you pull behind the boat and when you get back to the dock all your fish are scaled so the commercial say's. Now I skin everything so much easier. </p>
