Al I wondered about the overall coloration, the projected nose, the mottling pattern on the cheeks, and it almost looks like a spot of color towards the bottom of the opercular?

And even though I've never fished for CNBG, I feel the same as you....they're still down there, and I think they could be caught during the colder months.

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
