Sand Sole

Got the mighty Sand Sole on video!

 

I could see the "free rays" on his head before I shot him so knew it wasn't a mini-butt, and back on shore when I checked out the underside the lateral line was straight and didn't have the arch that butts do.

Made me feel better when I saw the little guy cuz I was beginning to think I was just blind and not seeing fish!

It was tough to spot. I did not see it at all.
No wonder I suck at diving for them.
You got good eyes Jim. 

Thanks for sharing this intel. Would love to catch one sometime. Bet they're delicious!

Those are really tasty! Awesome Jim!!

I told you Jim that you are better underwater than trying to stand on a SUP

The SUP ... BigJims kryptonite
