Belasko,
Thanks, I thought I had seen them all so was surprised to learn something new. This is obviously a big fish technique so don't try it on your 8" perch. By the way, there are techniques both with electric filet knife and manual knife that are fairly efficient for perch and bluegill. They are different for each though and the electric is slightly more wasteful. I remember about 2 minutes per fish with either technique (including washing, drying, packaging) but that the electric method is much easier on my back.
P.S. The technique on your link does not waste a morsel but I wonder if it is worth it to get the collar as he says. I think that I would just get a portion of the collar (the meaty part) and leave the collar and fin as waste.
