Therefore, I hate to see people become hesitant when posting threads like these. Makes me nervous thinking about posting my catches this season. Actually, makes me nervous posting this. Not here to stir things up, I just wanna fish

Thanks for sharing. I learned a lot from this thread

Absolutely no offense taken and thanks to the many who offered comments. Its good to get a lively, informative discussion going with humor, and a little trash talk and I expected no less from BWE. After over 20 yrs working in marine bio I was not 100% sure so if several fisherman learned to recognize and release the next junior BSB this one mistake may help save others. PS ; can you ID this species of “wreck fish”?

I'm not following you here. 20 years of marine biology, a member here since 08' and you could not identify those spots as being trademark BSB and have the logic to throw it out when in doubt?

Did I not read something and this isn't you who kept or put the fish on a game clip? Is it a pic of someone else?
