We pulled up an 8 pound Red Grouper on a Stretch 30 at St. Marks last weekend. The fillets turned out allright, but the tough skin, tough meat, and thick bones made it very difficult. Does anyone know an easy way to fillet one? By the way, we DID know to avoid the plate behind their head!

Fillet like a bass, a stiff knife 9" minimum..I actually use two knives
