This specimen appears to be of the same species as this one collected in the same spot two months earlier. The identification of both is tentative. This one suffered some physical damage before being photographed, too, so the colors aren't totally natural. I was mostly photographing it to test out some new camera setting idea, which worked really well for a couple of closeups.

Biography & Thoughts
1. Don't fish for food its cheaper to go to the grocery store than it is to buy all the gear you will need to fish.
2. If you keep fish, eat them don't let them get freezer burn!
3. Support the businesses who are willing to teach you and answer your questions, don't buy gear from someone who has "it" in stock but is not willing to give you the time of day.
I deal with this every day it drives me crazy! Hope you agree!
