Kool pic Dave, Pelican Lake is gorgeous country!
And remind me what's the best way to get the Y bones out?
Dober If you cut just below the lateral line and then angle up above the Y-bones toward the dorsal part of the northern, you can pull the Y-bones out like a zipper. It basically makes 2 fantastic fish sticks!!! ddj

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! Ingwe

If Northerns come from cold clear water, they are ALMOST as good as walleye. Hard to beat a fresh caught walleye. ddj

myeeaahh, walleye/shmalleye.
tastes like nuthin.
Don't get me wrong, it's great, everybody can eat walleye, even folks who didn't think they liked fish.
But northern out of good cold water cooked properly is so firm & lean, different texture from walleye, tighter.
I'd rather clean walleye that's for sure. but damn, good northern is hard to beat.
