As far as cleaning the sauger/walleye/saugeye family of fish I use the zipper method. There are videos on YouTube showing how to do it.. there is a small mud vein that runs down the center of each fillet of the fish and this removes that. Basically I fillet them the grab the top and bottom half of the fish and pull. You will end up with 2 strips of fish and lateral bones and mud veins will be a separate strip to discard.. also bleed them out by cutting their gills before you leave the water. Makes them taste even better!!!!
