Manual vs electric fillet knives

[Ole fisherman]

I used to butterfly mine as well but heart doctor says they are much healthier for me to skin them. Not sure how easy it would be to butterfly them with electric...

the mister twister is the best electric to use on perch, not walleye it wont hold up. the best i've found for walleye is the rapala heavy duty for about 50 to 70 bucks.

For perch I use a cheap Proctor Sylex electric I think I paid 12 bucks several years ago for it. The blades are a little less aggressive & that helps not cut through the back of the fish.it has worked very well. I use it to fillet & skin the fish. The next guy cuts the rib cage out with a manual knife. This process helps us keep as much meat as possible. I use it on average walleye as well anything over 20” I use my mister twister. As the proctor struggles to get through the larger fish
