They're otoliths. Can be elusive. I've heard that the local natives used
to use them as a monetary exchange.

I got a few recently...

You can all try hard,

but sorry - there's ways to go to reach Brad's internet ignorant smart ass level...

Stevo, you either need to STFU or give us a report for once.

These are a sensory organ located in the head of fish like wsb. Some anglers collect them as trophies. Removing these does not affect the tag if you are turning in the WSB head to the hatchery for research.

If you turn in your WSB head to Hubbs, they will send you the otoliths... I just got some, they sent them in less than a week, and I didnt have to go digging around. (fish head was still in my freezer from last year

)

Well this will give away my age......however when I was a kid working the boats we used to get the stones (otoliths) from the WSB and make necklaces out of them. Wish I still had one.

My vote is to disband the WCW. How many people does this contest draw in? In this day and age of potential closures, and declining fish stocks world wide, it is somewhat sick that there is a year long contest that awards a person a prize for the most fish killed! What is the purpose of this contest? How about a catch and release WCW! Love to see some of these big fish released. I kill fish too, that is the idea, for food, right. I just don't see how this contest can be justified! Who in the world needs that much fresh fish. My god even a flippin Great White does'nt eat that much fish!!!!!!! If you guys think that an average post of a fish here and there draws in the crowds, I encourage you to look in the mirror and see WHAT IMPACT THE WCW has on crowds at LJ! If you live in a glass house, don't throw stones.

For the record, Last year, I caught 4 WSB and released 1. It was bitchen watching a 40 lb swim back down. I encourage more restraint and conservation when it comes to the resource! Maybe if we start restraining ourselves from killing everything in the ocean, the ocean and the fishes will be around for a loooooooooong time, and the Feds won't give fishermen a bad rap.

How about a contest where the PRIZE is won by the most fish meaasured and photographed that swim back down. Now that contest is worthy of some respect!

Think about it....
