Name that fish
Anybody know the name of this one?
silvery blue-green top ... tiny dorsal fin way back ... yellow marks on gill flaps
cleaning table remarks: scaly, rib bones, black belly lining
If I ever knew the name I forgot it.
thanks

How big?
The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

Ladyfish much larger and big mouth. Fun on light gear with a lot of jumping and throwing hooks.
