Never have liked electric knives for cleaning fish or much of anything for that matter. Electric knife is stupid fast for cleaning trout, can clean a limit quick with no waste. A lot of the guides around here use them for cleaning all of their fish, but I still like using a regular filet knife on reds/sheepshead/flounder/snapper etc.

The advances in electric knives are amazing, and I use it for almost everything except big redfish and flounder. Nothing ruins an electric knife faster than those giant back scales, and tough rib bones on reds. A razor sharp, heavy blade is still my go to for them guys.

Ditto......And on Sandies and Stripers with the nasty red meat we have an assembly line. I do the above and hand the filets off to my wife to trim out the red.

I started using an electric knife on trout when I was 16, but went that rout for speed. Took a little getting used to vs a regular filet knife at first, but in no time I could clean a limit of specks (used to be 10 here ) in 5 minutes. Filet/cut out ribs/rinsed & bagged/done. Everything else still gets the regular knife though.

You'd be surprised how many young anglers haven't had anyone to teach them. All the variations discussed here are fine, but I'm giving the less experienced anglers a place to start.
