That is my favorite part of the fish! I have "volunteered" to cut others' ungutted fish more than once or twice, with the understanding that I get to keep their unwanted collars and belly strips. On a decent Kenai king, the collars/belly weigh about 6-12 pounds! ( See the example halfway back thru this thread.) I come home with more "salvaged" king meat doing this than what I catch and keep for myself! Troll the river for fun, troll the cleaning table for food! How can you beat that?
