Keep posting....... Hi GHow, Thanks for your compliments! It just happen that I like to take some further snap shots of my preys. Hope you like it. Back to the "Evolved Sculpin" aka Flathead... It is a common fish that we hit on the sand beds in asia. Over here, we hit them at estimated 30 cm at best. You will have to visit Aussie land to see these creatures 10 X times the size of what we catch here... Here's one of the references... http://www.sportsfish.com.au/sportsfishgal...9&box=&shownew= Don't Blink ..... Best Regards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted June 19, 2004 Jimmy I was checking out your photos in the fish gallery. Saltwater fish sure are pretty. A lot of them seem to have the same type of body profile as my favorite fish, the bluegill. Anyway nice pics, especially the needlefish. john Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
