Mike, I have a Leech Lake custom 7 inch filet knife and love it. Excellent construction and unique double sharpened blade helps.

7" works fine for me, when I can get it away from my wife, who's decided it's the ultimate kitchen tool.:)

Unless I'm fishing salmon or stripers I go with a 7". For the big boys I use an electric carving knife and don't even try to leave the rib bones uncut.

You know I never considered using an electric carving knife. I can see where it could be the better tool to use on bigger fish.

As a follow up question do any of you guys here fish during the winter months? I know in some states winter is nothing more then a cooler summer and in other places ice fishing rules.

I primarily bass fish, and still use an electric knife. Once you get good with one, it's quicker and easier. It's probably not the right way, but it's the way I was raised and the only way I've ever done it, so it just comes natural.

I fish for crappie and some catfish in the winter.... OK fishing is pretty decent year round really.

I fish for bass. Can you tell? HAHA. I do also fish for cat, and while doing so catch a number of GAR. Gotta love the south. Once I get back, i'll be a fishin' fool again.
