Often caught by rock and surf anglers, the catface can put up a bit of a fuss. Found commonly on our stretch of the coast,
up into the south of Mozambique. From as shallow as ancle deep water in the wash on ledges to 50+meters.
This is one of the more elongated from the rockcod family. Distinct dark brown spots over the length of the body
with dark brown stripes across the head, resembling whiskers.
This particular one was caught in 42m of water on sardine and squid combo. Weighing in at just shy of 3kg's...
