I will second Pat's endorsement of the electric Bubba Blade, great minds think alike 
. It is the best one made. I have an American Angler, and a Rapala Heavy Duty. I have filleted hundreds of fish with all 3, including lots of big stripers at Powell. Big stripers are a true test for any fillet knife. The Rapala Heavy Duty is a good unit, especially when paired with the American Angler blades. The power cord on the Rapala is horribly stiff and made out of stinky Chinese plastic. I can run the American Angler off of a cheap 200 Watt 12V inverter on my boat.
The ergonomics of any of the Bubba Blade knifes are fabulous. In addition to the electric I have a couple of the regular serrated Bubba Blades and I really like them. I use them when I only have a handful of big boned fish, and they make for short work.
What ever you do, take care of the blades and don't abuse them and always have a spare. This spring at Powell, my friend was filleting a fish with his electric Bubba Blade and didn't see a fish hook embedded in the side. By the time he realized what was wrong, the blade was toast.
