First time attempting to load photo of Kilmore trip. Red Scorpion fish? Any info well received. I heard quite rare?

This is what a red scorpion fish looks like. Very poisonous too

Crazy to think that the skipper of the Charter Boat Lady Alison didnt know what species you had caught :shock:

Think I'll have to stick it to him alright. I'd had better check that it wasn't one of the lads throwin out an ''informed '' identity first though. It was my mate who actually caught him. I was an 'over the shoulder' audience member ( to busy pulling up pollock myself! ) Thanks for the info though. Cheers.
