Kayaked Crappies

Finally got out after some fresh fish. Fished the deeper water of a local reservoir.
Mmmm!

Using the new Opinel (two thumbs up)

12" was the biggest (big for around here)

Zowie that looks good to eat, plus fun to catch a bunch like that. I love crappie. Am envious, especially the kayak fishing.

Slammed them! And that is a nice looking piece of cutlery.

Heck yeah!!

I am stuck where I am and have no way to go fishing at the moment. With the weather in the high 60s it would be a great day to be on the water.

I have wanted to try out the openal folding fillet knife. I like the Openals I have had in the past and would see no reason that the fillet would not be just as good as the others

We are having about the warmest winter I can recall.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess you didn't drill a hole in your kayak.

Sure look like they could be tasty but the name still kinda/sorta puts me off.

It's a long A Barry.

Their name is deceiving, Barry! And no holes in the kayak! - temps so far haven't been low enough to even make thin ice around here. Got up close to 50 degrees and thought I'd take advantage.

Yes sir - have to thank you for that, Nasty! It's a cool compact little knife. It'll be perfect to bring along on an all day trip with an afternoon fishfry.

Thought I'd add one last pic!

Nice fillets mmmm...does the opinel have some good flex in the blade?

FinsnFur · January 23, 2017, 05:35:33 AM

Wow

Now thats a nice mess of fish!
I'm not a total Crappie fan but I' am jealous of all the action you had there lol

Not quite as much as I had hoped as I like to bend the blade a little to feel the blade ticking flat against the bones (hate wasting meat). Very similar to a 4" Rapala filet knife.

I am going to have to add one of those bad boys to the collection 👍
