Deboning a pike ?

What is the best way to get rid of annoying pike Y-bones

Catch crappies.

Pickle them !!!

That’s too Funny!!!

There is a good video at: http://www.pinesunsetlodge.com/how-to-remove-pike-y-bones-video.htm

I have watched a fishing buddy of mine clean several. To avoid the slime I advise the same….. Watch someone else clean ’em. Hahahha

Practice. Its not hard at all. Listen to your knife and use your fingers to feel your way. With time you waste less and less meat. After all it is just pike

Look up five cut fillet on you tube. Hands down best way to get boneless pike fillets. Super easy and works great. I found last year. We never used to keep pike cause there such a pain to clean. Five cut is just as easy as filleting a walleye. the only thing I add is on cuts 4 and 5 ( low side fillets) is after they are cut, peel them in half down the lateral line to remove the second set of y bones. Then they are truly 100 % boneless

5 cut is methood I use takes a little practice with the electric knife standard fillet knife is what I useually opt for
