I'm a perch!

[forgiven]

Maybe being a weakfish isn't so bad............... here is a picture of one and a description.......

[left]They go by the name gray trout, tiderunners or their original Native American name, squeateague, but the most commonly used term - weakfish - comes from its inherently weak mouth structure, which allows a hook to pull out quite easily much to the dismay of many an angler. A weakfish can grow to 3 feet long and over 17 pounds, but a 10-pounder, by anyone’s standard, is a darn good fish. We don't get an awful lot of them in our neck of the woods. But the ones we do get are enormous. We've taken two weakfish which smashed the flyrod world record in the last two years. However, in the heat of the moment we opted to release both of these fish, as they were full of roe and we see so little of this beautiful species. The best time to target weakfish in Jamaica Bay is from late April to early June.
