Way to keep after them and stick with it, I too have had those fish run to the top of the water and start jumping like crazy, for me it seems the faster I go the less they do this but who knows is just fun to get out and enjoy and know there bitting what you have in the water. Always nice to bring home fish to. Tight lines.

The skinner works very easy this is my third time using it. I have found that it works great if you fillet the fish then skin them its much easier. I found this style named in a kokanee book I read. There is a youtube video that shows how it works.

I have been taking the skin of mine with the fillet knife not to hard just don't cut the tail area and flip the fillet over and keep the knife going comes out clean but there are days its a bit hard to hang on to.
