Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

  On an average outing I'll catch (keep) about 40 to 60 bream (bluegill).  Don't fillet them ----- just scale / gut / batter and fry them.   QUESTION ???? ---- Does anyone use or own the Tumble Drum Scaler and does it do a good job on scaling bream (bluegill)?   BP shop & Cabela has them for about  $250.  OR has anyone built something simular for scaling about 50 fish at a time.   $250 A little on the high side --- but the time saved scaling fish I think it will pay for itself.   BUT ---- does it do a good job on scaling the fish?     thanks

I saw that BPS's has a motorized scaler - will wonders never cease.

Is that the one we're talking about here.
