How To Fillet A Fish, With Video. Fishing With The Guys.

My husband is going to show you how he fillets his fish. I'm going to tell you what it's like fishing with two men. We use to fish all the time. I loved fishing and so does my husband.

My experience fishing with the guys. We were once fishing on some rocks by a lake where my husband grew up. It was my brother-in-law, my husband and myself. It was getting dark and we were getting ready to pack up and go home when we noticed my line go out. My husband and my brother-in-law started screaming set the hook, set the hook. You should have seen those men jump up and down. I set the hook and started to reel in. The drag was real loose but after about 15 minutes I got the fish in, an 8 ½ pound walleye. I wish I had a picture of it. They were so excited and I don’t get excited like they do. I thought they were pretty funny.

This is not a picture of the big fish but a good size walleye I once caught.

I guess I first started fishing with my grandpa. We would go down to the creek and fish.

Before that I would go frogging with my Mom and Dad. Just had to put a little red piece of cloth on the hook and frogs would take it. Frog legs are great I love them.

We have lots of lakes in this area to fish. It attracts many tourist and lot of cottage around here.

Now my husband loves ice fishing. I have tried but really I hate it. I don’t like being cold. I would always crawl in the truck and take a nap. I’m a southern lady and the ice has always made me a little nervous. It doesn't bother my husband and our kids love it

Later we lived on a lake.. A good lake for fishing. We always had muskies under our dock and I tried my best to catch them but I never did. The men in the family caught lots of good size fish on this lake. It was fun to just jump in the boat and go out fishing anytime you wanted to.

We sold it, with water taxes and retirement on the way, we decided we couldn't afford it. My brother-in-law still lives on the lake so opening day of fishing season. Our son and my husband go out there to fish. They enjoy it all the guys get together bring food, have contest for the biggest fish and so on.

The kids and the dogs also like to go fishing. The little girls loved going out in the boat. We always took them somewhere so they could at least catch some little pan fish. They were proud of their fish.

The dogs thought it was great riding in the boat. If we didn't take them with us they would jump in the water and swim after us even if we were clear across the lake.

Some of our dogs if he didn't take them with him. They would jump in the lake and follow. We even lost one of our dogs in the lake. He fell through the ice in the winter and drowned.

Below is a video on my husband filleting a walleye. This is how he does it, not sure if everyone does it this way.

When he fries his fish in a pan he just coats them in flour, salt and pepper. Small amount of oil in the pan.

If he deep fries then he usually uses Shoreluch to coat the fish and fries in a Fry Daddy.

How my husband fries fish.

flour

salt

pepper

vegetable oil about one inch.

Add oil to frying pan and heat until very hot for frying. He puts the flour, salt and pepper in a bowl. Coat fish with flour mixture by adding fish to the bowl of flour turning, add fish to hot grease. Brown on both sides. Fish cooks pretty fast this way.
