After Randy's catch of last weekend I wondered if I would recognize a juvenile.  My goodness but they look different than the adults.  I found this image on a dive site but this particular picture was apparently taken at the Birch Aquarium.  The image is © 2002 John H. Moore.  Hopefully it's okay to post it here for educational purposes?

Wow, allot different! I wonder if they are one of the species with the greatest size change between first born and biggest at maturity. What is the biggest on record. I think the biggest has never been caught. Don't they reach 1000lbs+?  Randall
