Catching a lot of these along the shore now on squid chunks. Can't seem to find em on Mexfish or in my books. Need ID help.

Oh No. I think that fish got Swine Flu. You must report this catch to the CDC. John

Tastes like bacon, yum!

I coulda given you a little more help. When they are chased, they fly well above the surface of the water for a very long way.

Robert, trolling or from the shore? Just curious. Could that be a world record?

Black Tailed Oink. The caudal fin and large scales [used in the cosmetics industry] are a dead givaway. Although a rare flyer as Jorge says, they are a bottom feeder.:lol::lol:

It's a tocino mullet, invasive species but prized for it's belly meat. :cool:

I reserve my trolling for the OT forum which I guess is technically the shore. Lately I have been using Toneart's saxophone for bait but have not managed to catch a world's record. Maybe I'll switch my bait to something more appropriate for the bottom feeders over there.

I think that is a"Tidal Boar"

Cypress - 5-15-2013 at 11:45 AM

And you can catch 'em on most anything!:biggrin:

Just read something on this subject ('My Inner Fish'). Apparently if you turn some genes on and others off during early development you may be able to construct such a frankenstein monster. Question is, do you start out with a fish or with a pig. Could be a very worthwhile project, though. You get Vitamin B12 and Iron from the front and Omega-3 fats from the back.

Upon close examination I am pretty sure it's a SHORT-BEAKED SQUEALER, prized by some for there rib meat.

Great photo
