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:

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.

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.
