[Mattcomptonassvanhorn]

Youve been catchin alot of those lately. How much you gonna sell them for?

[Fish Finder]

2-4 inches $65 4-6 inches $90. The best price you can find anywhere.

[fishnthings]

[Oddball]

Beautiful looking shoal. Looks like you have a baby pompano mixed in with them, too.

[Fish Finder]

there are a few baby permit's in there

[Gr8KarmaSF]

Grt8 school, how do you catch so many? Do you fish with some huge net out in the ocean? Are u a commercial fisher?

[Fish Finder]

no off the beach between 12-6am, and with a sine net

[iheartfishies]

This guys is crazy commited!!:)

At first I really hated the damn lookdowns....

but after seeing HOW big they can get, at the Baltimore Aquarium, I have some appreciation for 'em.

[Nate_N_Nicole]

Thats sweet I wish I could do that... Bummer :(

Nice job! I keep catching the pilot fish off my dock, but I have no where to store them for you. If I get a decent crab trap, I'll save some.

Wow there great looking fidh how did you manage to net all those ? :)

[Fish Finder]

we usualy go in the hour's between 12am-5am when there sleeping in the eel grass and pick them up with 30ft sane net's.

[Fish Finder]

if you see anyone selling these anywhere in the usa and they say they cam in from barzi, south amreica and he's charging a rediculous amount tell him he's full of **** caz they came form right here in the usa. A little head's up for all of you

I will take them off of your hand's if your interested in making a few $ I can bring you something to hold them in till there ready to be picked up. PM me if your interested.

[Fish Finder]

Let me know when you catch some Fumanchus.
HU?? whatcha looking for?

[fishyboi]

Are they aggressive?

[Fish Finder]

no the arn't

[RockyGoldy]

Great catch there....

do people use this fish as food fish?? Cuz I dun see them use for ornamental aspect here in Singapore..

[Fish Finder]

these fish are only cought in the alantic ocean. But with every outher fish in the world some may be used as that

[iansilv]

where are you fishing from?

[Fish Finder]

long island NY

[Flexxxn]

Beautiful fish. I used to have them in a tank with a small black tip reef shark and nothing compares

[monsterfishkeeper]

can you catch em off new jersey

[gman]

I bet you could catch them. Sounds like they are fishing in the bay though cause there is no eel grass patches off the ocean beaches. I used ot go seining for bait fish and came up with some pretty cool stuff. Once we caught a 6" barracuda, but mostly we caught sandeels and spearing (silversides).

[Fish Finder]

can you catch em off new jersey


You can but not as much as where i go on long island. Because the gulf streem hit's long island and turn's up twords boston.

[cropsebride]

I cant belive you can just go out and catch a whole school off fish and then putt them in an aquarium, especial young fish who are the future breeding population. ! Its discusting. weather there common or not its wrong. If every body did that there would soon be none left ! leave them where they are. buy captive bred dont plunder the natural wild populations.

[ewurm]

Nice catch! Catching your own fish is the best!

[Princley]

man likeone of the coolest fish in the oceans ... you need a big tank and best in SKools

These fish if they arnt collected will die up here once the water hit's about 60F. They are brough here and droped off by the gulf streem.

Where do you think most aquarium fish come from?

Speak to commercial fisherman and don't waste your or our time here. You must be very young as your spelling is terrible. Come back when you have grown up and live in the real world. :screwy:

[rumblesushi]

Indeed his spelling is atrocious. I could spell better than that when I was 6.

Fish Finder - I'm amazed you caught these in NY, I didn't know they were coldwater.

There not cold water fish's. but from the gulf streem bringing them up. When it swing's in to NY by that time the water is about 70F

[Don4921]

[StonedFishy]

[H20Boy]

[b73788]
