Either way the economy is way down, so this will have a major impact on how and what people are willing to buy. And you can bet they are not going to be willing to shell out the big bucks for a fish, with so much uncertainty with the USA economy.
We continue to see very high dollar fish, just not selling right now.
Remember things are only worth what someone is willing to pay.
There are so many deals right now, you just have to shop for them. An exp:
(I just bought 4 Dats, 3 to 6 in for $290, One big Indo and Thin Bar 5-6in, and two 3in Indo and Thin Bar.
But in some markets, just one fish at 6 inchs is $300, so it depends. It seems the Midwest is much le$$ expensive than say Cali.
But it all boils down to you buying and keeping the fish you want.
Sounds like you got a nice fish though, when you get a chance, can we see a pic?
