Thanks. I took those just off the Mississippi River in Mississippi. The flow through the water control structure caused an eddy that drove them crazythose bigheads-just wow.
Yeah they max out at 6 feet which seems pretty big when you are pulling it out of a net They tend die pretty quickly in a gillnet unfortunately as compared to the bull sharks we normally catch. The bulls can normally be worked up and released live and very angry.Bummer she was pregnant. Is this a smaller species of shark?
Yes the redspotted sunfish was washed offshore, maybe from the Mississippi River. I don't know about the yelliwspotted seatrout I'll have to do some research.NICE! I've been trying to encourage people to keep native marine species for years with very little success .
That redspotted sunfish, was it flushed into saltwater? (Sorry not familiar with all the areas).
I also have a question regarding yellowspotted seatrout: can they venture into fresh water as adults?
