What is this?

Cutting edge fishing technology in a bucket.  What is in this bucket could change fish cleaning forever….

The inside of this wonder machine.  I thought it looked like an ice cream maker.  Grandpa Gibson saw this in action last winter on a lake to the south and took all the dimmensions and spent the first part of the winter in the garage putting it together.  Now it is time to test it out

What is this orginally used for?

This is the inside of the scaler.  Question is what was this orginally made for before Grandpa got ahold of it and punched all the holes in it.  I will give a hint that it was purchased at the most useful store in the world Fleet Farm

The middle paddle another recycled item

Any good contraption involves a power tool

Insert fish into contraption, hook up a drill, run for one minuted and…..

Pan Fish nicely scaled

Fish ready for cleaning

Contraption works and grandpa is happily headed back to the garage for whatever he can dream up next.  I hear the ice shack needs a 3rd seat will there be a remodeling of the ice shack?  That will have to wait for later in the winter for icefishing trip number 2.  You never know what will come out of the garage work shop

In other news this dandy Crappie was caught by Troy.  It came in just under 13 inches.
