Bluefin rockfish.

Many people forget to account for the reflective property of the atmosphere as it relates to the slime coat on the fish. Therefore when you look at a bluefin rockfish, you really are in fact looking at a yellowtail rockfish. To further complicate the light reflection issue, many anglers fail to use the correct dropper loop knots and that in fact turns our suspect fish into a juvenile Wsb!

There you have it folks.

I know everything, this is the truth.
