Filleting your catch

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 90 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
There are several filleting videos on youtube. I watched one on filleting a bass & it was short, simple, quick and to the point - excellent. This ones quite good too:

Sorry man, I was sitting here with my bud and we hadn't slept much for awhile... Everything seems funnier when you're about to nod off...
HA! I have a 9 month old that seems to run for days with no sleep so I know right where you're coming from there - sometimes I just laugh hysterically for no reason at allroflroflroflrofl
 
I remember watching the deckhands on the half-day boats filleting customer's catch and they were good but I've never seen anyone take an entire fillet of a fish that large in what is essentially a single stroke. Impressive!
 
I assume Mahi are ribbed like other fish and he was taking the ribs with the fillet to be removed later?

There is probably a "rib man" just to the right of him. His job is to de-rib, skin and thouroughly wash/rinse the fillets. :)

When my eldest son is around he's my "rib man"...But lately I've been doing 'em all myself. The de-ribbing is usually made a second operation when filleting alot of fish or else scales and fish slime end up on your fillets.
