Bloody(?) stripe inside next to fish backbone.

I'm not the best at fillet eather but how can you learn with out doing it! I found what helped me alot with the fillet process was a good fillet knife.. The more it flexes I found the easier it is for me any way... I know a guy that like little flex in his blade but I do better with lots of flex. For me it's easier to feel the bones... And I would really like to learn that trick you said your inlaw knows sounds like a good skill to know!.. Back to the whole bloody strioe along the spine!!! I was looking at that anatomy picture and the kidney is infact not the long bloody stripe it is the main vessel when you look at that picture it shows the kidney yes but it shows it as separate from the fish and the bloody line is atatched ... I looked it up again because It was bugging the heck out of me.. And there is the kidney which is about a 3rd the length of the main vesel.. But never the less that main vessel feeds them all so... It's all connected in some way or another...
