Q:
What size fillet knife is a good all around choice for freshwater? I'm looking for something big enough to work for fish out of the river but not too unwieldy for smaller trout

Either the sml or med/lg Ra'pa'la'/Rap'ala(which is it ?) will work for you.
Good luck and good fishing !
The kershaw's I'm looking at go by blade length. should have mentioned that
6"or 8" blade should be fine. Russell Knives makes THE sharpest fillet knives on the planet.
I have a Rapala 7" that I use, works great!
I am also a huge fan of the Rapala 7" It stays very sharp and glides through panfish and trout. It also cleans a nice walleye or smallmouth bass. Happy fishing!
Thank you all
I have a 6 inch fillet blade from walmart and its its the best ever. Its like 5$
Try a 7 inch Renegade, they work good and are cheap so that you don't have a cow if on falls over the side of yer' boat.
i uae this for any thing i cath. but i have a friend who's a salmon guide in lake Michigan and he uses the same knife but buys the 9" balde. here's the link

6 inch definitely
