Big and plentiful bass there. This is a bass I caught there last time we were there.

I hope so, high of 77 degrees today. High of 67 degrees tomorrow. 😠 Ohio State plays tomorrow at 3:30 pm but it’s not going to be much of a game.

I ordered my Jawfish online with Petco and came in fine. not sure if its true or not but the person at the store said they treat all their fish prior to shipping to the store since they can't treat in store with all the inverts in the tanks.
I think they treat during shipping. I've noticed the bags come in typically with blue tinted water due to copper I assume.

I don't see this one available too often!
Yeah. I'm trying to avoid shipping - extra cost plus living in the middle of an oven and all that. When it's safe to ship to me it's freezing cyclones in the rest of the world.
