Today was my first time gutting a fish. I knew what to do (cut the head off just below the gills, stick the knife in the annal and cut the belly open, reach in a pull all the guts out, cut the tail off.)
The problem was that this entire time I was having to force my knife through the fish rather than my knife actually doing a good job cutting into the fish and after that it was time to fillet but the knife just wouldn't do it.
I have a long very sharp sherade hunting knife. Its old but good but I just couldn't understand why it wasn't working like it was suppost to. Was there anything that I did wrong? Type of knife, method, etc...
Please explain why, Thank you
Also I could not skin my catfish.
