. . . But, thinking about cutting rib bones on large catfish swayed me to the serrated one. . .
I would get the smooth blade, Gene, as i have converted to not cutting through rib bones, as now i cut down to them and then cut down toward the belly just outside them, filleting meat off them.

Got my dad one for fathers day. Havent done a ton of fish with it but it has worked nicely on 4-5 20ish lb salmon. Still shap as when it came out of the package. He has the smooth blade version.

I use a 8" Dexter or Forschner Breaking knife for my filet jobs On fish with heavy rib bones,I cut over the top of the bones and not through them.I use a pair of game shears to cut off the ribs and the breast,those are some tasty parts I really enjoy.

Those fried redfish throats or breasts i ate once are great. I wish i knew how to cut/clean them.

Thanks. Do you skin or scale them before frying? I saw them being cut from some big fish once on a utube but i couldnt remember what they were called. As i was typing this i finally remembered- fish collars. I think the

I got the 9" version with a smooth blade back in the spring. It was a great spring and early summer. I've used it on most of our inshore stuff from 15" speckled trout to 39" redfish. Works great for me. The charter boats and deckhands buy 'em by the case.

I use a pair of pliers to pull the skin off then use game shears to cut between the fins.More meat than bones on this part.

Not a fan of chinese stuff, but a smooth bladed Bubba knife has proved to be a good working tool around salt water over the last 2 or 3 years. Bright handle has kept it from getting lost. In my opinion, a decent value for the price.
Imagine your grave on a windy winter night. You've been dead for 70 years. It's been 50 since a visitor last paused at your tombstone..... Now explain why you're in a pissy mood today.
Here is a picture with my 8" Dexter Breaking knife.It has been my favorite blade for many years.
