Learn to use an electric knife and your yield will be higher!

Why electric yielding more? I get right next to the bone with no
trouble.

I guess it has more to do with how many fish you are cleaning. In our
last outing, our group of six caught and cleaned over 150 snapper,
grouper, kings, dolphin, and a wahoo. The electric knife won with
about
6-1 over the standard filet knife and the yield was better but we were
under a time constraint with all of those fish so the guy with the
filet
knife was getting sloppy. I guess it's a matter of technique but you
could almost see through the fillets cut with the electric knife.

Ah...

My filets aren't designed to be multi-cut. Just get it off the fish. I
could see how, if you were slicing multiple thicknesses from a single
slab
it would go faster...

Only six pigs would pull and keep 150 fish out of the ocean. That's 25
fish each.

Oink, oink, oink.

It was a three day charter, know-it-all. We could have kept twice that
many.

Maybe my bubble butt buddy Harry doesn't realize that fish freezes very
well and there would be no difference in catching 150 fish in three days
as opposed to catching, say, 25 per week per person......

That and he would croak if he ate the fish in the cesspool where he
allegedly boats.

Barracuda are one of my favorite fish to eat. Nice firm white meat.
Just eat the small ones.

Get one, Skip. Good fish...

Hi, Richard,

I know about Mahi being good fish (presume that's what you meant).

We've been fortunate to catch quite a few - including a 44" one last year,
and, in one hour period, also last year, three in a row (much smaller) - but
none recently.

If you mean the Barracuda, we do keep and relish the30" ones. Like them
better than Mahi, in fact.

I've heard barracuda were excellent to eat but I know even the smaller
fish have a chance of carrying the ciguatera (sp?) disease.


I believe that is not limited to barracuda and any carnivorous fish
can carry it.

Cheers,

According to Wikipedia, the carnivorous fish carry it as a result of
eating herbivorous fish. URL:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciguatera
interesting reading, and has put me of carnivorous fish!

Justin.

North west actually. We were going from Puerto Rico to the Dominican
Republic via the Mona Passage at the time we caught the fish. We're
at Ocean World Marina just west of Puerto Plata at the moment after
spending a few days in Bahia de Samana.

Harry has a lot of class.

The name of his boat is YaHoo and he has pirate flags painted on it.

Nope, and nope.

BTW, are you the same "wally" who was once voted the dumbest poster in
rec.boats? If not, my apologies.

Your thoughts seem to have passed through Harriet's ass before you utter
them. Just a humble observation.
