Sea Raven

Here's a fish that we don't keep either. We catch them in all sorts of water--they're every different color. I've seen them purple, red, orange, brown, and many other colors. They blow up like a balloon when you reel them in and are almost round! I hear that they are good-eating, but there isn't much to eat-just the tail. I don't bother. Rumor has it that they make great lobster bait, but since I have barrels of racks after every trip, why bother? I've caught them to almost 7 pounds.
