Great fish. Time to buy a heavier knife if you're gonna be breaking down chunky homeguards!

Squidco sells a 10 inch breaking knife (big curved blade) for about twenty bucks. If you have a means of keeping it sharp, it'll break down anything. Turned my 150lb thresher into fat steaks with ease, and can cut the head of a YT in no time flat.

You can also find a cimeter knife on amazon for cheap. Get one with a fibrox handle and a ten inch blade. You'll be set!

If you need filet demo, head over to point loma fish market.....next to sportfishing and watch them do their magic. You can always steak em until you get a demo. Do not forget to toss the carcass onto the barbecue if you filet. Enjoy.
