Right once you know what they feed tilapia it's hard to ever eat it again.

Not only is your catch gorgeous, but your photography is beautiful. Did you take those with just an iphone? Or, do you go fishing with a professional photographer?
Caught this 19" Red Drum last fall surf fishing in the Outer Banks.
key west FL, Au Sable and Pere Marquette in Michigan, not all in 2021 though
Nice photos, Guys. Keep 'em coming.
I've been an obsessed sport fisherman my entire life and also work as both a Fisheries Biologist and a Commercial Fisherman. I have an obscene amount of fish pictures and am happy to share but will refrain from hitting this thread with a nuclear blast of photos from my files.
Here's an odd one that I doubt anyone here has ever seen - a Salmon Snailfish caught off of St. Matthew Island in the Bering Sea.

Those are different smelt. We do it with A-frame dip nets in the surf on the beaches of Redwood National Park in northern California. The are two smelt species that we harvest here commercially. One that runs during the day and one that runs at night. Most of them go to zoos or aquariums to feed animals in captivity but about 2000 pounds a day is sold fresh on the streets of Chinatown in San Francisco.
You can see a bit about our fishery at the 17:30 minute mark in this video here.
Salmon farms are worse. I only eat wild caught.
Beautiful trout ?
Great pictures. They only have to be posted here in 2021. They could be from any time!
Breakfast fit for a king. Cutts frying in butter on a camping trip in the Flat Tops here in Colorado.
Guys guys guys stop posting pictures of brown trout I’m getting incredibly jealous and antsy over here.
iPhone. I just take tons of pics. Even a blind squirrel...
Aquaculture will increase in both prominence and importance. There are good ones and bad ones. Don’t get me started on the failed Atlantic Salmon farming effort in Washington.
Of all the organs you could have chosen...
Like @alaskanpiper said, we also have flounder up here. The flounder I see most when fishing, the Starry Flounder, to my knowledge anyways, is the only member of Pleuronectiformes that isn’t specifically sinistral/dextral (left/right eyed) by rule. Rather, their geographic location within the Pacific Ocean helps to determine which direction their eye migrates in their early life history.
News you can’t use.
Did you know salmon farmers have the ability to select the color of flesh the fish they’re farming will have in order to make it more appealing to potential customers?
I was doing a King Crab survey for NOAA (Alaska Fisheries Science Center) when I shot that pic of the salmon snailfish. In AK I've also done a bunch of work for the International Pacific Halibut Commission, worked on a handful of longliners out of Kodiak, seiners out of Homer, and trollers in Southeast. Also on the list are multiple agencies, tribes, consulting firms, and tons of commercial fisheries in CA and OR. I can't stand working in an office so I tend to bounce around from grant to grant to keep going on the fun side of the biologist thing and then fill in the gaps with commercial fishing when I need/want to. I also have a USCG captains license for running backup skipper on a local charter boat when my buddy needs a break from the grind.
