How To: Skin and Fillet a Catfish Like a Pro - Best Tools Needed

This video shows how to fillet a catfish with instructions and demonstration. I was catfishing and saw a guy giving away his fish because he said they were to hard to clean. I hope he sees this video for instructions on cleaning catfish the easy way.

I was more impressed with the kid, then I was with his cleaning technique. That kid will be a fisherman for life. Congratulations to his parents.

[@bigoledude1]

I'm an old Cajun down here in SE Louisiana and have been cleaning fish since I was a little boy. It is refreshing to see a young man clean fish so well! You did a better job on your catfish than most of the knuckleheads here on KZbin! It's obvious you have cleaned a few fish. Great job Lil brother! I'm proud for you.

[@nelsondaniels6660]

you are wise Thanks we need more peeps like you!!#😆😍😁

[@myklmusic]

This just demonstrates that You know the importance of self fulfillment... Fishing and preparing the catch. Very well done.

[@MannyVF84]

It's nice to see young people involved in the outdoors rather than showing videos on how to beat a game you're teaching young and old how to filet a great eating fish! Thank you young man!

[@manuelaquino2065]

Hi

Manny Arzate I thought the same

[@charlesloveday9208]

Nevaeh Williams...if put n a true/real survival situation- U would starve to death. WTF r U watching this for if all U have is a negative comment? This is quite impressive that a young kid can fillet a catfish this good...don't watch if all Our gonna do is criticize. I'd b proud to know my kids were this good with a knife & the skills to do this.

[@davidwright6793]

Charles Loveday Young man,you are a pro,you did a very good job.

[@101Buckets]

A 13 just taught me to filet a fish and I’m 25. Good job dude.

[@eddiebarrera469]

No shit,I'm 50 and this boy has one of the best correct way on how to felay a catfish.

[@Eagles0690]

He acts like a nice young man. So glad when I see kids doing stuff like this instead of sitting in front of some computer or game.

[@datdude1783]

Hey Adrian, I've been watching your vids for about a year now, seeing you in the outdoors makes me proud. Tell your pops he's doing a great job. I wish my son would show more interest, but my daughter gets out there with me.

[@SinCityOutdoors]

Thank you for watching and the comment. It's weird... my little brother doesn't like going with us. He can only take so much hunting and fishing per month haha

[@popanddonnacollinsworth7741]

Hang in there Corinthian - you are holding up your end. Sometimes it takes a little deal making For example, I'll coach you in baseball if you will fish and hunt with me. It worked for me and maybe it will for you too.

[@cloroxbleach9336]

Sin City Outdoors the opposite my older brother doesn't like going that much

[@axegrinder3746]

@@@SinCityOutdoors, very refreshing to see a smart young man and a superb job with all parts of the production. "The world is at your feet." Stay away from drink and drugs please, Thank you.

[@sallygraves3671]

Thank you for the video! I was scared to do a catfish but you made it look so easy!! and you're an excellent teacher. Thank you for teaching this 41-year-old how to fillet a catfish. Keep up the good work. I'm taking my kids Catfishing for the first time next week and your video gave me the confidence to clean and filet them for the grill.

[@MzHersheyKisses24]

Thank you young man!!! We caught 3 cats and really needed this video. This is the best tutorial I've seen, with a clear explanation! 😎👏🏾

[@tiffanypoodlenportland3305]

I've been fishing since I was about 6 years old. You've impressed me and taught me something new! You're going to go places in this world. Stay hooked on fishing ! Blessings

[@muffdiver69x]

[@guysolis5843]

Excellent demonstration, young man. Your dad is teaching you well. Always listen to your dad, he will never steer you wrong!

[@Dirtygurl4719]

Shame on you

[@swgarealtor]

Great job, glad someone took the time to teach this young man how to clean catfish.

[@hsjjsjndmicheal5879]

Hello

[@Sihgrady]

I have to say, I love this kid!!! I have watched many videos on here about how to clean, and filet catfish. And I have badly butchered many nice catfish in the process, too many times! When it first started, and I seen it was a kid, I thought great! I'm not going to get the info I need to understand, what I need to do, yet again! But, decided to watch it anyway, after all, he is a very cute kid/young man. So very glad I did!!! He made it look so simple, he explained every detail. And went slow enough for me to keep up, as I filleted my 2 catfish along with him! And at the end I have 4 beautifully done catfish fillets! I am beyond impressed with his knowledge of what to do, and especially with his ability to explain it, in a way that I was able to follow along, and understand every detail of what I needed to do. Now I need to see his other videos! Hope he has some on Bass cleaning. As well as crappy,and bluegill cleaning. Great job man, I am now a loyal subscribed viewer of your videos! You absolutely rock! Best explanation for the process, I have see so far! 5 ***** stars little man!

[@kiteman357]

Excellent knife and fillet skills, young man. Nice to see young people interested in catching, cleaning and cooking their food.

[@patricia19861000]

Wow I'm impressed! Good job little man! Proud to see a young man know how to do this.

[@hsjjsjndmicheal5879]

Hi

[@MissionaryInMexico]

As many of your videos as I've watched up until these days, I have never seen this one until now. Excellently done and no wonder your channel blew up. Congratulations. 🎉

[@johnnygoddammit]

i used this video on my first ever time skinning/gutting a fish an although i didn’t get the best results, this video helped me get the best that i could and its really cool that such a young kid is this knowledgeable and can conduct himself in front of a camera like he does. props to you

[@GabeReality72772]

Very impressive. I been catching and cleaning fish over 30 yrs and it warms my heart to see our youth doing something productive and crafty like this. Keep up the good work.

[@jaybird4812]

Good job son, not many young men are interested in what you just informed so many people how to do.....God bless you...

[@AngryFishing]

Nowadays people don't even know how to get a fish off a hook. Great work young man!

[@SinCityOutdoors]

+Joel Robledo haha thank you

[@wreckandraceify]

Very impressive to see a young man doing this now a days. I thought they were all playing video games and checking facebook. Great job and keep enjoying the outdoors bud.

[@SinCityOutdoors]

Thank you

[@shellygardner6410]

The best how to vid I've seen in awhile. Clear, consice, and on point the entire time. I actually do it slightly different, but I'm going to try this way next time. Great job!

[@SinCityOutdoors]

Thanks Shelly

[@billydavis6305]

Eww.

[@jasondowdle2292]

Hey, just want to say how much I appreciate this video, especially presented by such a sharp young man. I'm an old guy and I've been fishing off and on for my whole life, but the best times were when I was a youngster and my grandfather taught me most of what I know. And one thing he taught me was how to clean a catfish. He grew up during the Great Depression, and he knew how to not waste a bit, and he did it just exactly the way Adrian does. Sure, you could do it faster (how to clean a catfish in 15 seconds video, for example) but for me, that disrespects the sacrifice of the fish, and makes one just another consumer and the fish just another product. Adrian, without saying it, shows a deep respect for the fish, and I really appreciate that. Thank you!

[@todhurley3756]

Great job young man. The world needs more kids like you.

[@kimdavis7058]

Wow, I learned something I never knew. You did a great job! I love catfish but never saw one cleaned and fileted. Thank you.

[@talkdattrashimmapullyacard4396]

Kim Davis 🐟😘

[@VisaliaMuscle]

I've never fished, let alone skin and filet one! I'm encouraged to do so after watching this young man. Very detailed and informative. Awesome communicational skills..

[@Johnny-ol1du]

THIS IS "SEA DWELLER" MORGAN FROM JAX.,FL. I WANT YOU TO KNOW LITTLE BROTHER HOW PROUD I AM TO SEE YOU CLEAN THIS CAT, IT TAKES ALOT OF STRENGTH AND KNOW-HOW,MOST GROWN MEN CAN'T DO THIS, YOU KEEP IT UP.

[@ericmitchell732]

To the 1.7 who disliked this video must be really close minded. This young man did a great job in showing how to survive in today's society. Plus looks who's going to eat dinner. Adrian you keep up the good work and hope to see more videos. Mom Dad you're doing the right thing. Thanks

[@dandreher5679]

Totally awesome props to you and props to mom and dad for teaching him skills that will help him the rest of his life !

[@mauricegraham1552]

Simply Excellent! Good job little man you taught me a technique I didn't know....

[@SinCityOutdoors]

Thank you

[@jaspyr88]

Dude, you’re awesome! Great video! I love seeing young kids today spending their time helping others!!!

[@johndavis3894]

Who'd have thought I could learn something like that from a young buck. Just a reminder that grown folk learn new things all the time, and youngsters have things of value to offer. I'll be trying this method next time.

[@markpowell3954]

Tonight I am just looking at things that interest me and I stumbled across this video. I thought I would watch this young man and I am impressed. This kind of thing was my life growing up and it caught my eye. I am now waiting to teach my grandson a few things that I might have forgot to teach his Dad (LOL). This young man did an excellent job and he described every step as well as the use of his tools so that anyone could understand. The final outcome was that it is ready for the skillet. I just happen to look at the date of 2015 and it is now 2021 and I hope the young man knows his video is still touching people. He probably has a TV show now ☺. Anyway, I just wanted to say that this sure did make an old guy feel good to see a young man giving good instructions for anybody to learn how to do it.

[@SleepyFishing]

That was a great detailed tutorial. I am impressed. Truly the best cat cleaning vid I have seen.

[@xten1111]

very well done young man, your parents thought you well.

[@scmilessaa8639]

Great to see such a young man with a great base of knowledge. Good job parents!!!!!

[@nates564]

I haven't cleaned a catfish for about 10-13 years now. I wanted to get back into fishing and I stumbled upon this video. Loved the detail, great visual aid, and showing of the techniques. This'll definitely help me in the future. Keep up the great work!

[@zacharyrowe8395]

Smart kid. Instructions are very clear and each step of process explained in detail. Good job

[@paulgarcia2180]

it probably only took a little long because he took the time to explain his technique very well. you can't rush perfection and them filets were perfect.

[@hsjjsjndmicheal5879]

Hi

[@hsjjsjndmicheal5879]

@Lisa hi

[@robertalee2]

Young man you have learned well. Thank you for showing us how.

[@williamstone267]

An absolutely awesome job. You showed me technique that I didn't know at 54 years old. Thank you :-)

[@hsjjsjndmicheal5879]

Wow hello

[@2b88player4]

You are hired! Thank you for this presentation. You know and delivered your information perfectly and concise. I can do it, now.

[@josephdeason8198]

that was one of the best demo's that I have ever seen about filleting a Catfish, and I'm 60 years old. No one showed me how to do when I was a kid, Now I wish they had, I would have kept fishing more and ate what I caught.

[@johnadams5253]

Great video, learned alot. We mostly have trout in these parts of CO. Catfish in my oppinion is a much tastier fish. Thanks to you I now know how to clean them. Thank you young man.

[@semco72057]

I love the way you filleted the fish and first have to catch some that large and then fillet them like you did.

[@joelrudzinski6829]

Great Job! My Dad would have been very impressed with this Young Man.

[@norbertogonzalez98]

You never stop learning and you were safe and made it lookgood

Someone on this post said it right when they said that out of all of the videos on KZbin, this was the best one I've ever seen!!

[@calvinhoward2277]

I'm so glad to see a kid doing this, every time a grown man demonstrate how to fillet a fish, he always goes too fast as if to show you how good he is instead of taking his time. Thanks for the video buddy

[@Minionette611]

Thank you so much for this video! With such a young teacher that gave such detailed instructions, I know that I have to get this right!

[@eugenewalk4601]

Excellent job and presentation young man!

Good job young man. I'm 48 yrs old, I have cleaned a lot of cat fish in my life and you have taught me some things I didn't know. Your techniques of cleaning is clearly better than mines, from now on I'm cleaning them your way! Thanks 4 the lesson!

[@ThatOneWJ99]

Thank you for teaching me this technique. Ive been waisting so much meat 😓😓😓

[@bertarmstrong1058]

Great job young man. Been fishing and cleaning my own for almost 60 years and still love it to this day. In a couple days going to cook up a mess of catfish. I cook up a mess of catfish at least once a week. Hope you many more years of fishing adventures. Have fun.

[@howieweber5971]

Very sharp kid. Been fishing for many decades. Took me a long time to pick up a good filet skill. Tis is one of the best ones I've seen in a long time. Nice job bud.

[@maxsanchez2339]

Nice kid u put me to shame with those fillets

[@royvillicana5975]

You suck

[@royvillicana5975]

I hat you

[@SouloDoloMusic]

Great job, kid! One tip; to make the second fillet easier to work with, don't cut the first one completely off. Works wonders with stability!

[@SinCityOutdoors]

That is genius... Thx for the tip

[@lyricalangst21]

This was the best fillet vid I've seen. That first fillet was THICCC haha. Great job. Was the first fillet vid I seen too with out anyone bitching in the comments about anything haha. I saved this video to favorites because I am gonna try to fillet my catfish this way from now on! Thanks for the great video bud!!!

[@thomassullivan410]

What a nice young man and super good job with simple well explained instructions. Thank yah young feller.

[@nailgunnelli]

That soundtrack, his skills and clear instruction makes this the manliest video ever!!!!!!

[@thebigcheese606]

Sooooo satisfying when the skin peels off in one piece.

[@danieladkins7340]

What a nice young man. I will be looking for more of your videos. You should do some videos on catching cat's? Have you ever fished with Ivory soap bar make sure it's white and color give it a try kid I think you'll be impressed.

[@morgancarpenter8197]

Gave a local fisherman some Catalpa worms (spelling?) ... he brought me 8 good size catfish.. I am here at 57 years old learning from this young man... Sir you have renewed my faith in young people... MANY KUDOS to you and your parents! Thanks..

[@poppawatt]

The power of being able to explain something in detail with no slang words is wonderful. Keep it up young man. 😎

[@tomford6734]

[@kalebbailey9061]

Tom Ford yep

[@jimmyconway1937]

yep it is nice to see a young kid doing something that is other than poking at a video game hopefully in a few years we'll have some good technique down he won't be damaging the meat so bad trust me even when I was young I butchered the hell out of my share of fish and it was fun

[@rileybrunink9920]

Amen to that

[@SinCityOutdoors]

[@heathererny2618]

Thank youfor showing me how to clean catfish. You are a very good teacher.

[@paulkillough3672]

You got it in a box young man i love to see young people do things like this I'm glad to see your intrest in this and thanks for your video i no there's a lot of people out there that needs this..!!..

[@lakefork7255]

That was very good but I prefer making fillets and cutting the skin off and then putting a little seasoning!

[@mscmn5150]

Just got into catfishing. This is the best demo on how to do this I have seen. Very thorough. This young man has a future ahead of him.

[@TSmith-ns45]

Excellent job, young man! You should be very proud and so should your parents. You will go far!

[@andresramirezramirez8379]

i like your bass that you caught

[@sinovenatorsamyt4213]

Its a catfish

[@deadmanskate183]

a tip is to hang the fish and cut the tail off to let it bleed

[@country928]

You are talking about speckled catfish, channel catfish don't have that much blood in them. He skinned a channel cat, no need to let him bleed out. That fish is really for the pan.

[@marcyp.2579]

OMG!!!😲 This kid is amazing 👏 He is so skilled!! His technique is awesome. Young man is a bonified fisherman!!!! Thanks to you!!! Now I know how to de-bone & skin Catfish!! 👍👍GREAT JOB!!!!❤❤❤
