Totoaba, a giant croaker - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

In its juvinile stage the totoaba is known to Mexicans as a Machorro.

I have caught a couple of 20 to 35 pounders fishing out of San Felipe.

Cought one last week and released.

I do notice many fisherman catching one after another and keeping them. Makes me wonder if these fish are plentifull at this stage (Juvinile) than full grown.

Not much is known about this fish and how it has recovered from near extinction.
