Chris Pratt Teaches How To Properly Clean And Gut A Fish

Chris Pratt has been known to tame velociraptors and lead gangs of galactic misfits on planet-saving missions, but now he can add skilled fisherman to his resume.

In a tutorial video for Vanity Fair, Pratt let his expertise shine as he showed his technique for cleaning and gutting fish.

Pratt was fishing in Lake Perris, California, and apparently “caught” a sea bass, which he used for his demonstration.

Pratt starts off by cutting the bass’ “fish hand,” then slices through “the business section of the LA Times.” Whatever that means.

After he sliced and diced his way through the whole bass, he released it right back into the wild, because Pratt’s an eco-friendly guy.

I’ve never caught and gutted a fish myself, but Pratt’s techniques seemed pretty legit. I totally feel ready to head out into the lake myself and give it a try.
