Yeah that's pretty thick on out into the working area for a fillet. More like a boning knife (I prefer that on bigger fish).
Sounds like a good excuse to go catch some fish and put to task as designed. You'll know for sure after the first 5 or 6.
Note: If you do decide to re thermal cycle the blade, make sure you go through the normalization process prior to hardening quench.
