I have stood there watching Canadians filet northern half a dozen times for shore lunch, they get nice filets and no bones... I am apparently a slow learner cause I never got the hang of it... I'm not much of a fish eater so don't try that often....and I must say ( now....get your beer and popcorn ready!!!) that I consider fresh caught northerns every bit the equal of walleyes as table fare....
Runnin for cover....
Another pic before I go!
