Field Notes

Description:

A brown, large-bodied fish with wavy lines and soft spines on the body.

Habitat:

A fisherman had caught this guy when I was walking past him on the jetty, and I asked if I could photograph it when he pulled the hook out. After I took two photos, I watched him take the fish back and plop him in the water.
