I second the Forschner knives. You'll find most of us who have worked on sportboats will recommend these or Dexter Russell. I like the Forschner's more because the fit my hand better but both blades are good.

I use a 6" for yellows,seabass, and tuna and an 8" for bass and such. I will go 8" or 10" on big big tuna though. I find that the 6" knife works better for outlining than the larger knives as it is almost all tip. Also I do not use "fillet knives" but Narrow Breaking knives.
