Howdy folks! Robert Johnson here from Houston, Texas. I've been a prepper for close to a decade now and along with that, I've had my fair share of fishing experiences on my trusty Catalina 34 sailboat. This article does a commendable job of explaining how to clean a fish, which is indeed imperative knowledge when you're at sea or just roughin' it in the wilderness.

I'd like to share a couple of tips that I've picked up along the way. When you're cleaning a fish, always make sure your hands are clean and dry before handling your knives. Wet hands can cause the knife to slip, which can lead to a nasty injury. A good set of fishing gloves, like those mentioned in the article, can greatly improve your grip and keep you safe.

Also, another thing I've learned is that while cleaning the fish, try to keep it as cold as possible until you're ready to cook. This will help prevent the growth of bacteria and keep the fish fresh. I usually keep a cooler on board my sailboat for this very purpose.

Lastly, while this article does a fantastic job of explaining how to clean a fish, I would recommend to the beginners out there to watch someone experienced do it first hand, or find a tutorial video to follow along. Sometimes, getting a visual can really help understand the process better.

I hope this helps some of you. Remember, prepping ain't just about stocking up on canned goods. It's also about learning and mastering these practical skills. So, get out there and practice. You'll be a pro before you know it! Stay safe and keep prepping, y'all!
