well i finally got something that stumped me. i got this thing at the florida/georgia border while trolling in my kayak with a gold/green spoon only 100 yards off the beach in diving birds while targeting spanish, ladyfish, blues, … looks like some kind of barracuda to me, but also looks different than any other cuda ive ever caught. thoughts?
other than the little bit of yellow color, I’d put my money on a juvenile Cuda.
How ya been? Haven’t seen you post in awhile.
“Why Bruce?”
hanging in there so far! still catching the sharks as always and will remain in south georgia for the next few years for shore duty as well. i made my annual trip to the tailrace/short stay early march and did great for herring, a few shad,and even pulled a 45lb blue from lake moultrie.
cooked that fish up and whatever it is it tasted great!
How big was whatever it was:question:
Looks pretty small to filet[:0]
about 20". grilled it along with some spanish i caught with it and saved carcasses for shark bait.
If we were 2500 miles west, I would say a Pacific barracuda: https://www.google.com/search?q=pacific+barracuda&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwitooudu5bUAhVCMSYKHbmzBEAQ_AUIBigB&biw=1707&bih=840#imgrc=jf9SQqIBQUg99M:
