Electric/Battery operated filet knives

[BearLakeFishGuy]

I have used electrics for over 30 years. I literally filleted thousands of yellow perch while when I was still in graduate school on Lake Michigan. I have used one for my former job as a fish biologist working-up thousands of trout, whitefish and other species. You get what you pay for. I tried probably 5 or 6 different brands. I prefer the American Angler PRO series. American Angler used to make electric knives for Browning, Rapala and other companies. The American Angler Pro series (and I prefer the narrow/thin 6-8" blades for smaller fish and the 8" or 10" regular blades for larger fish. The Pro series has the power to go through any rib or tough fish, including fish heads for extracting otoliths. I've tried to Bubba electrics and they too, are powerful, but the ergonomics of the American Angler are just better. The Bubba have a weird curve to the blades in my opinion whereas the American Angler are straighter and in-line with my hand/wrist which in turn makes it so I don't waste as much meat. Anyway, don't spend $20 on a cheapo, you'll regret it.
