the first fish is called a lancet and thease days all boats have a set of tori lines to scare of birds and only shoot in the dark in the areas where the birds are

[wayne_cook]

thats right dan. it is a lancet ;) and tori's are used .
I thought most guys would be interested in seeing some unusual fish rarely seen by the average fisho. :-?
The young bloke was reluctant for me to post any of his pics he thought there would be negitave responses,guess he was right don't worry jeremy I won't ask him for any more.the only alby i have ever seen killed was not by a working boat. :-?

[dan099]

a few years ago most the riff raff was weeded out of the industry and now only the real fisherman with a professional attatude are left .

[onerabbit]

Yes Lancetfish.

Brr bear I agree with Onerabbit, some kind-poss giant boarfish.The first one looks like a hairtail.

[Mick_Godfrey]

yeah the frist one is a lancet definatley, we used to call them mitsubishi's on the boat i worked on (lancer??LOL). Pretty ugly by day, but unbelieveable by night, silver phospherence falls off them all over the deck, good light show!!!
