Hi all , every dogfish I have ever caught or seen was between 50 and 65cm in length, do small ones exist or are they all born at 50cm :?:
It's all about the fishing

Strangefruit and myself were talking about this the other day. Between us we had never seen a little Doggie. We came to the conclusion that they are very fast growing and that we just hadn't caught a little on yet :D
