GORGEOUS FISH HERE DUDE............WHAT I AM AMAZED AT IS HOW MANY PEOPLE POSTED HERE ON THIS THREAD JUST TO HAMMER YOUR TECHINIQUE.........IT IS QUITE OBVIOUS THE FISH LOOKS HEALTHY! THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO SHARE THIS ANIMAL WITH US PRIOR TO YOUR RELEASE.....

I agree Marty.

Seems like people are always out to find something negative and throw it out there for everyone to see.

Pretty catch there dude!!!

Kinda shallow for a snowy, but heck there are no fences out there. I can see where we'd take it for a snowy, but the head shape and eyes don't look right either, nor do the spots or their pattern, but there are exceptions and freaks I guess. Looks more like black sea bass to me.....a very nice one whatever it is to say the very least.

We caught one a few weeks ago out of Hatteras. I was told by several people that its a warsaw. Nice fish

U know......you're probably right...that may be just what they are come to think of it...they may be on their pre-spawn with this full moon and be speckled like that...(??)
