#236 Post by **Ronald** » Mon Apr 30, 2007 4:09 pm

they do look a bit on the long side for a s.s.s. ,especially for the size of the fish ,any photos of the throat area ?

#237 Post by **fishinmidget** » Mon Apr 30, 2007 4:59 pm

no sorry. i just thought it was a short spined because the description matched the one on a web page i looked up. wasnt a great description though.
