You need a machete to clean them things.put them on their belly. Hold the tail down and cut the back fin off going from the tail to the head. Then you peel the skin off, cut off the head and filet it after. They not that hard to clean but the do take a little time.

You might want to post the question about needle gar somewhere's else wher more people will see it though.
