Today was my final striper trip for the season..... I'm lookin for the ones with just one stripe starting next week!

We did okay, a 20, a 30 and a 40.... In the 3rd pict; My bud likes the big ones steaked, and I'm not going to be here, so we steaked it. Pulled out my electric filet knife. (I mentioned it in another thread last week), does a great job!

I've used the same type of electric filet knife for cleaning drum, but I think mine was yellow

not to derail, but i see you gut the fish first. do you cut entire steaks, ie cut thru the backbone. or are u "filletting" each steak off the carcass. nice slob.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Would like to take all the credit, but my partner actually found this little bump out away from everyone else. I was on his numbers... Two trips many kudos!
Caught the fish in Delaware Bay...

As for the steaking, he scales them first, guts them, cuts out the dorsal fin (and it's bones). Then I cut down through the backbone and leave the rest for the knife. It really makes that job a lot easier... Personally, I prefer photo and release of the big girls, but we make exceptions occasionally.... A bunch of special people are feeding on those fish today!
Happy Thanksgiving to all
