Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for the improved and more rapid cleaning of, or the removal of the viscera or the so-called "guts" of dead fish without the need for the cutting open of the fish in order to get into or have access to the body cavity of the fish. The device is typically attached to a common garden hose type of water nozzle and is inserted into the anus of the bait fish. With the application of water pressure the intestines/viscera are forced out of the mouth of the dead fish. No cutting and stitching is required and the fish is substantially not altered in appearance thus not affecting its usefulness as a bait fish.
