I always peel Cat, Carp, Gar etc. Every kid needs a Dog and a Curmudgeon. Remember Bowe Bergdahl, the traitor. Beware! Jill Pudlewski, Ron Oates and Keven Begesse are liars and thiefs!

I always skin everything otherwise I'm finding scales around the house for a week. But I don't fish much in the summer, so most of my fish cleaning is during the winter so outside is less than ideal. piece of carboard on the tailgate when the scales dry the brush right off but I can see winter may be harder it comes down to labor I guess some one said scaling takes longer , maybe if your doing it all yourself but if you have a helper you can just fillet and they have all the scales off for you so your part of the labor is less. a good scaler can feed 2 people filleting so if you have a mess of fish and someone not so great with a knife they can have them scaled for you.
