This is the way i have always done it as well.

I have used this method for over 20 years   A couple of years ago I was demonstrating it to a few friends and one guy went on to remove the 'backstraps'. Turns out that you can get quite a bit of meat between the y-bones on a large fish. I still wouldn't bother. Do this method enough and you'll fillet a pike in no time flat.

I use the second method , the first stikes me as too fiddly.

One trick we have found was after you do the rough cuts, put the fillets in the fridge once cooled the meat cuts eaisier.

I have a habbit of cutting out the belly meat before cutting the fillets that way I only need to think about a clean cut along the back.

I don't bother keeping the fish finger attached, if I am cleaning for immediate usage the fish fingers get pooled and ground for patties.

Thanks for the tips.....  Hopefully Ill put them to good use this season...

I have always used the second method as well.
I will be trying the first method this year though. I like the looks of that method.
Thanks for the link.
