You just cut along the gill, cut down to the tail, flip it over and slice off the side with the scales IIRC. Throw the rest in the trash and take the garbage out.

I wouldn't bother setting up something outside unless I did it all the time.

Yeah, that's how I do it. Gutting a trout takes less time, but it's not like this is a complicated surgery or anything. Probably takes about 1 minute/fish unless you have an electric knife.

Just to let you know how it could be worse, I have a cousin who literally lived in a shack down by the river. Her husband is a nice guy and all, but dumb as a box of rocks. He likes to "noodle" for catfish, a completely insane idea of a sport imo. But the guy knows the river and can catch fish. Routinely he wouldd use his bathtub as a livewell keeping fish alive until he had time to clean them.

Noodling = in [expletive] sane

Keeping fish alive in the bathtub = Brilliant!!

I guess I could turn this Rant into a Rave by saying my gf started yesterday, hence explaining her bat [expletive] craziness....
