Fish ID Tobago
I was sorting through my fishing photos and I found this one.
I got it at Sandy Point, Tobago, June 2003. I remember it was a very good fighter - it was only about 4lb.
It's the only one of this species that I got - I have no idea what it is.
Thanks in advance.Shore Species 2008:-

Just out of interest what's the lure you were using spill? It looks like one of the Yo-zuri Minnows but I don't recognise that colour pattern.

It was a Yo-zuri Crystal Minnow 130mm size. Unfortunately, I don't remember the colour pattern (its long lost now). I got a couple of them especially for that holiday in 2003. Surprisingly, I still have one of them (black/silver) complete with lots of Barracuda teeth battle scars! Still catches Bass though.
