Ugly -Lg head then slimmer as it went back - whisker like barbels (sp) rough skin - fins on sides and top Hit a tube and worm in about 15 feet of water down about 6-7 feet. Some have suggested a sea robin but Ive caught them before and this didnt have the roundish fins of a sea robin.Thanks Jackie O. I also caught a scup and fluke in the same area on a t and w

Sounds like it could have been a sea raven.
Looks like this?
They also come in bright orange.

that looks a lot like a stonefish. do we have anything like those nasty buggers up this far north? as far as I know, we don't have anything poisonous up here, but, of course, I could just be an idiot. Probably just hit it on the head. Oh well.

Could it have been....?
Didn't think they came this far north, but with the warm weather, warm water temperatures, and the reports of all kinds of strange fish being caught in areas they usually aren't......
Could it have been a Oyster Cracker, or what some (my grandfather and uncle included) not so affectionately call a "SollyGrowl"?....or even a StarGazer?

I wouldn't discount any fish from down south being up here now. We occasionally get the Mahi Mahi, Spanish Macs, and even the occasional Tarpon  so anything is possible, now just send us some redfish too  |

TARPON? OH GREAT, ANOTHER EXCUSE TO WASTE MORE TIME AND MONEY ON FISH THAT JUST SLAP THERE TAILS AND WAVE B-BYE! 
On second thought... maybe a better excuse to hone the chunking or flycasting skills |
