How do you fillet a trout?

[N.E.T.O.]

Yup. How do you do it? I tried one time and it was so full of bones it wasn't worth it.

I learned the art of filleting fish with the Willard Bay Wipers and the Lake Powell Stripers, and all other "Bass family" types of fish, including perch, Walleye, LM and SM bass, etc. and whenever I keep one of those species to eat, out comes the fillet board and knife, and everything ends up good.

When I decide to keep and cook any trout however, I have always just gutted them, cut off the heads and thrown them on the BBQ in Tin foil.

My wife asked me the other day why I don't fillet the trout also? My reply was "I just don't". I would like to learn how to fillet a trout and get rid of the bones BEFORE cooking.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
