Here's one my buddy's son is holding at the fish plant he's working at on the Cape. That's a few pounds of the 35K pounds he and the others packed/processed that day. Handsome devils, ain't they? Thing is, in my experience, many of the fish deserving the Double Ugly designation are dynamite eating. I know there are lots of DUs caught by folks here, and I'd love to see some, if anyone's game. Who can ID this one? Caught in local/north Atlantic waters. Last edited by kamo_gari; 12/02/13.
