Im probably the wrong person for that but groper,bluenose,snapper etc all have the same basic bone structures.
Try taking your wings off first before filleting bigger fish.

You tube is a great starting point, that said there is a heap of sweet oily meat in the heads and wings ( peteral fin bones) , my import mate smokes the lot including the frame , he says closer to the bone sweeter the meat , which has its benefits chunks of flesh with big bones , great for snacking and fish pies or tossed salads etc

Fishing with Dad out of Nelson today.
Some gurnard and kahawai, couple good feeds but was a pretty slow day with more spiky dogs than we would have liked.

Bugger...but good you are getting out there, always fun with the old man

Its good to see the water looking blue again been brown for a while!

Some of the nicest salmon I've ever tasted was smoked wings n fin bits...your filleting end result looks pretty good to me.

Hockey season just about done.

Had a sat / Sun free…burnt Sat doing general stuff, headed to okiwi txt a few folks , VC heading back to the Hoki grounds , Roktoy and family hit the road and we gathered at the batch.

A simple tea and yarns , into bed.

Up to a claggy morning out to be met by a long slow swell, bashed some blue cod , and got a couple of shit fish, chain plankton in the water column no bait fish or bird activity, one penguin and one dolphin.

A slow bite day but we fished the end of the tide and just the start of the flood.

After a late Friday night on the hill with the lad chasing pigs and deer, we were back home at 9am. A text and a call saw us loading the boat Saturday afternoon and shooting out to Okiwi to meet our hosts. Who promptly offered my wife a better seat and better company on their boat, This saw her promptly abandon ship and ensconce herself in the back of the Stabi taking my new rod with her .
Thanks Stingray

Boats looking good Keith.

You guys need to start working weekends and taking weekdays off instead, will be much better for fishing as everyone else will be at work.

Cheers, getting rid of the Hohepa stickers made the difference I reckon.
That and a semi decent polish. and a stainless steel scourer. It came up OK for an old tub.

He is keen alright.

Would be interesting watching him haul a bluefin into that.
