I have a friend who fillets YPerch the same way only he uses an electric knife. I know several guys who clean LkErie walleye that way. IMO that method is pretty fast but it wastes a little more meat than the standard fillet method. He loses some meat at the tail, some in removing the rib cage, and notice there is a narrow strip of belly meat lost. My fillets have a full flap of meat where the rib cage is. When you have lots of fish and larger fish you can afford to waste some of the meat.
