How to clean a fish with one hand

[zadvorney]

I just had carpal tunnel surgery on my hand and have a big hole in my palm.  I have only 40% function in that hand (my right and I'm right handed).  The bullheads are in and I'd like a few.  Any suggestions?

Get one of those fillet boards at walmart, they have a clamp on one end, might help...either that or get a buddy to gut your fish for you and share them

I just had the same surgery on my left hand, but I'm right handed.  Bring em to my house , and if you hold em with your left, I'll clean em with my right.  Then we eat.  I'll furnish the beers.

Fish cleaning board is a good suggestion. Maybe use an electric fillet knife also. Unless you skin'em then it is going to be a bugger.

Pay the neighbor a couple of bucks or some fish and have him or her do it.

I think I can score some latex gloves by the weekend.  The old "double gloving it" might do the trick.  Rainbow,  I like the way you think.  Worst case I'll con my buddy to do it.  The fish board with the locking device sounds interesting.  I'l have to visit Gander towarrow and check that out.  Thanks all, Joel

Here's a pic of it to give you an idea of what its about, only problem might be the board wanting to move around, but as mentioned if you could get a hold of an electric filleting knife it would def help...just make sure you don't end up having to post how to clean a fish with no hands

I say tell the wife your going fishin and head to the strip bar, you will get more sympathy from the ladies. When the wife want to know where your fish are, blame it on the cougars.

put on a board and put a nail thru their head to hold them then cut a "y"behind their head get a pair of pliers and pull off the skin usually guts and all when you pull off the skin. hopefully this will help, But you still need to catch them and that may be tuff with only one good paw.

larz is right, I have done this,hang them with nail in head cut and pull down, good luck, ps wear rubber glove to be safe

Definitely pound a nail through the head... should not be too difficult to do with one arm.  Last ice season I had a broken arm and somehow figured out how to drill a hole with a hand auger, bait my hook and fillet fish :p

You're taking the wrong approach!

Buy 2 Heineken fridge kegs and invite your friends over for a bullhead dinner. They'll take care of everything
