Great photos, nice trip.

Conditions looked great.

This is exactly what I'm hoping for this weekend.

Someone once told me that if there are orange dots/circles on the brown side you can rest easy that in fact it is a Sand dab. Can anyone confirm this? Looking closely it kind of seems there is this orange coloration in the pic.

That's the biggest sand dab I've ever seen. Nice job.

i didn't know sand dabs got so big!

That's def a dab cause a butt has a high arch in its lateral line where as dabs do not. Lateral line on that fish is not arched like a butt so its a dab. A damn big one at that great job!

Nice stringer of brown rockfish.

As Jim Day pointed out above, there are a whole host of flatfishes out
there, not just halibut and sand dabs.
