supasi Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 I was down the beach today and i found a fish i have never seen before. I do a lot of fishing so am quite familiar with the local species, this is one i have never seen before. To be honest, the shape of it was similar to a maomao, it was about the size of a reasonably sized snapper. it had lots of sharp teeth. It had been dead a while and had been picked over by gulls. Does anyone know a website that has lots of pics of local marine fish. i tried searchin on google but it kept refering me to books. Or does anyone here have any suggestions I am determined to find out what species it was, and no i didnt take a photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
