there is a way to fillet them and remove the Y bones...

Like this. Have your knife razor sharp, and cut right down to the skin and stop before cutting the skin. Do this for jack and redhorse suckers.

There is a way to filet a jack and cut the y-bones out. YouTube vids will show how. Never done it myself. My favorite fish. Never eaten or caught red fins but hear they are the finest.

What is the reason for gashing them?

Them and redhorse suckers are both full of tiny bones. Gashing the fish sides cuts those bones into tiny pieces that cook down when the hot grease hits them.
