Hey Guys,

I came across this specimen while walking into a ledge the other day. At first I thought it was forum member GTShoon but then realised it was carrying fishing gear near the ocean, which is extremely out of character, so it couldn't possibly be.

I'm not sure whether it's a Rare Red Bearded Pike or a Southern Redbearded Flogfish?

Any ideas on the species?

It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them

It’s a Rufus Shart bubbler. Odd to see one out and about in daylight hours, the sun can affect them quite badly
