I filet them the same way as with panfish. Down one side, flip the fillet over and skin. Turn the fish over, down the other side, flip the fillet over and skin. Then take out the ribs. Somebody put in a pretty good description in yesterday's post.
I also use a homemade fish board similar to the one described, with a couple of exceptions, Mine is over 2 feet long (it helps when flipping the big trout fillets over). Also, I've bolted a spring clamp to the end of mine. It grabbed the fish's head extremely fimly. Even the slimy trout heads won't budge.
I don't have the hole. That's a good idea, I'm going to do that.
