Throughout the summer – particularly late summer in August into September – I’m sent various photos of “exotic” species encountered by anglers in the New Jersey, Delaware Bay region. Often times I’m able to identify the catches right away, but in most cases I end up sending images over to staffers at the New Jersey Division of Fish & Wildlife (NJDFW) for an assist in identification. They’re about 99.9% with their ID’s, but even in some cases the catches are simply too weird, even for the pros.
