Yes. I love eating those 10" to 12' long bass. But I can't keep them where I fish. The size limits are 18" on two of the lakes I fish and 15" on the others small lake. I don't bass fish at Patoka Lake much as I mostly fish for crappie there.
But when I do fillet my crappie I sheer off the fillets with the electric Rapalla Fillet knife and then afterwards I cut out the bones from the fillets. I also remove some of the belly fat in the process.
If I didn't cut out the bones it would be very fast just using the electric knife. I get the skin off the fillets using the electric knife while they are still attached to the fish.

Of course, I fillet a lot of smaller fish (only ones I can catch haha), and like fishing lakes with slot limits, because I find those 10" bass are just delicious
