Fillet knife recommendation

Fillet knife doesn't really seem the best for self-defense. I'd consider using a trident! 

Strong, firm, backhand slap followed by quick uppercut and cross if necessary 

Anything is better than nothing

Likelihood of that kind of encounter is probably low, for me two scary ones in almost 50 years and another maybe I should’ve been scared but was too naive to know it

Same as being attacked by a dog only a lot bigger. Lots of adrenaline involved

This is way off the original filet knife recommendation question eh? But if you’re taking it on the water it’s worth some thought

I appreciate you looking out. Better safe than sorry.

But it helps me sleep better at night

Throw in a hadouken and you’re golden.

All that said with smaller fish I tend to pull out a smaller knife

The curved blade gets close to the bone but my friend actually steered me away from doing that with salmon and now I leave a lot of meat on the bones either to roast in a hot oven or scrape with a big spoon to make salmon patties

Salmon is still on my list of species to catch. Hopefully in a few years I’ll get a shot at catching one. Thank you again.

Here’s a teaser for you.



You really should give it a shot if your weekend is free. Ive been resisting but now looking at my yaks and gear to see if it’s feasible. Video is from a point and shoot I wedged at the top of my pfd which doesn’t work well. Should’ve got into the gopro but didn’t want distractions

Fish wasn’t that big probably under 10 lbs but was a B to land. Wind was probably 20-30 and blowing me away from the fish + I had way too long a leader on a rod way too long for the conditions

Here’s a teaser for you.

I was expecting to see a sea lion take a bite out of it...

You’re a wild man going out in that condition. Maybe if there’s a group of guys on here going out then I might tag along. Thanks for the encouragement.

Reading the different fillet knife threads here and have a knife not referenced.

Anyone have any experience with this one?

The Rappalla seems to be everywhere.

Wow, feel like I need to take a dramamine to finish watching that video
