Even landed my first Ray and nephew had his first few dogfish

This is a doggie for sure, a small bull huss can look at first glance like a lesser spotted dogfish, however the nasal flaps in the huss are clearly separated and the rear of the anal fin is in line with the front of the first dorsal plus the husses spots are much bigger and placed more apart from each other.
