Cleaning Fish- Freshwater Fishing

From Ronnie Garrison, former About.com Guide

4. Flatten the fish out on the board and make a slit through the belly of the fish, from just under the jaw down past the anal fin. I like to cut on either side of the anal fin - this helps guide the knife later. You need a sharp tip on your knife for this step.
