Some dude on the radio kept saying he caught a bunch of canary rockfish. So I asked him if he was sure about that. Never seen or caught one. I bet he was confusing coppers for canary

Canarys will look just like reds, sometimes they are a bit lighter in color. The next time you catch a red, run your finger along the jaw of the fish. On a red or vermillion it will be rough to the touch. On a Canary it will be perfectly smooth rubbing both ways. Most likely the guy didn't catch a bunch of canarys, he probably was mistaken. You usually get those things further north, they seem to be pretty rare down here.

I got a canary off Dana.

Dropped it like a used condom.
