[@mikeambrosio520]

By far the best method ive seen on pickerel filleting..excellent work! I love the taste of pickerel..just so boney..thanks

[@timisoutdoors]

This was a top-notch tutorial. Thank you, sir!

[@dennisjj6529]

I've watched a lot of of vids on this subjuct, but NONE....NONE of them has even come close to yours. Excellent, and you have a new subscriber! Looking forward to more. Thanks again.

[@TheSTEMLab-hw8ju]

thank you! for years I just toss um back because I didn't know anyone that knew how to do that. you are the man!

[@jezuswizardspatula5804]

Finally I understand the last part of fileting a Pickerel. Good Show!!🤠🐟👍

[@logantash7191]

This Video is great!! Iv'e been wanting to try pickerel but never knew how to clean them! Thanks for the Video!!

[@bucktailjig]

This is the best domo I'v seen and will keep the big pickerel from now on . Thanks

[@MrBaldoon]

Great video. Step by step and slow demonstration.

[@ricqik]

Very nice. This is the first video I've seen that mentioned the pin bones along the lower tail end. We don't have pickerel where I'm from but I've been filleting northern and they all have those pin bones at the lower tail section. No other instructions or videos ever mentions it. Great job on mentioning that in your video.

[@methodicsmile2076]

Bruh I caught some of these at lake blackshear Georgia and I was like ain't fucking no way I just caught a pike but two even. We never seen them in there before and been fishing it 20 years, I watched this video and it helped out alot thanks

[@jforo3281948]

As others said...this is absolutely THE best video on pickerel filleting. I have a way myself but this is much better. I too fish oneida and also cayuga lake in ny so i too catch many pickerel don't often catch 25"ers but keep.any over 22".....theyvare great tasting fish...thanks for this great method..

[@TheBudgetSportsman]

Caught my first ever pickerel tonight and totally slaughtered it. Next time I will watch this video BEFORE I filet instead of after. :) Thanks

[@BJErwin]

I’m going to have to try this. A local lake has a lot of pickerel. Even if I mess a few up learning, it will still be beneficial to thin then out.

[@eswing2153]

Wow you are really good at that! Thanks for the tutorial.

[@guyinthewrinkledwrangler]

Thank you. God bless you and yours.

[@moniquemacnaughton9032]

The bony pieces and the head can also be used for fish stock.

[@James-of1hs]

Nicely done.

[@sethburdick8135]

Great video thank you!

[@jacobmoyer2991]

Great video

[@footie_cn_ns9187]

That is a chain pickerel, you can tell because of the green "chain" pattern on its sides.

[@AlSmadaddy]

Just got back from a walleye trip to Oneida and caught my first chain pickerel but threw it back cause everyone said they were too bony. I'll have to try this out next time. Thanks!

[@sssrrr6223]

This dudes nice w it. I hope it’s this easy when I do it

[@JerseyJimFish]

Thanks for the instruction. Well done sir.😁

[@leatherstockingangler9046]

That’s awesome. I’ve fished Oneida Lake with a buddy a few times for walleye but no luck

[@johnwilson4330]

Just caught some and now after seeing this I am going back tomorrow :) !!

[@markdunham2839]

Nicely done. Thanks

[@tommyflagg9029]

Super useful tutorial.

[@kylelackey3152]

Pickerel are great to eat my ABSOLUTELY favorite...you can fillet the off the bone and leave the skin on, flip them skin side down and "gash" them. Then the bones will melt away when u fry them and u get the whole fillet. Then we usually cut into two strips slicing with the length of fillet..when I say "gash" I mean take ur fillet knife and slice the meat to the skin eat cut very close from the previous cut u made, U will be able to feel the fillet knife slice through the bone very close to the skin... once u have tried this there is no way u will spend that much time doing all the slicing and feeling u did... but great video bud I hope yall try it's a game changer seriously(it's the same way u gash sucker)

[@faithgrant2138]

If I had a dollar for every time he said ''feel'' :')

[@vanillaquicksand8025]

Okay, now for beginners.

[@walterdowns9012]

Up here in Saskatchewan Canada we don't call them pickerel the names they have here are northern pike... Jack... And the ones who do not like their table fare call them slough sharks and we call walleye pickerel... We also know that the jack is it type of pickerel

[@matthew3576]

Thats a completely different species

[@ebbtiderush6030]

Yes, this is a redfin pickerel. Hence the red fins... Chain pickerel have green fins and a vertical black stripe thru their eye. Some good eating though! Thanks for the video.

[@ericstoecker2096]

Ebb tide Rush Are they?? I have been throwing them back. Was told they were awful.

[@HelloIamBen]

It's a chain pickerel in the video. Red fin or grass Pickerel don't get 25 inches long :)

[@Willgtl]

Aww, the belly meat and skin are the best parts!

[@clays2734]

nice

[@BBBYpsi]

Cheeks take those cheeks out!!!

[@outdoorsfun-stephenkerr831]

did you grow up in NH or knew someone that did asking because that cutting board looks exactly what came out of the wood shop back in the late 80s

[@crustyfapkin4349]

i ended up with ten pickerel chunks good tutorial though

[@somuchinfo]

do they taste good?

[@pierrehenneguez6648]

Grass pickerel or chain pickerel ?

[@ntlineman]

Instead of playing with y bones, you should start cutting into tail up to Y bone then grab fillet tail ends one peace in each hand and pull apart ( zipper ) into Two pieces, then take the piece that has Y bone attached to it and ( zipper ) remove the Y bone and you are left with boneless fillets of wallet, a lot cleaner and not as messy.

[@brianlocal3]

You should make a video of this. I’d be interested in seeing it

[@jeffwindover9916]

What about the cheeks?

[@1979biga]

finally found another oneida lake angler on here

[@dwaynegreene152]

[@CheekieBandito]

Ummmm that's a pike not a pickerel

[@ericstoecker2096]

CheekieBandito Basically the same thing.

[@zachbartlett2829]

CheekieBandito no this is a pickerel, thwy are in the same family

[@georgedeblasio3636]

CheekieBandito best way to differ them is a pickerl has a tear drop under the eye, pike do not

[@puregameplay7916]

You probably think walleye and pickerel are the same fish rofl

[@derekroundhead4117]

Where's his fin on top ? That's a damn pike
