CATCH OF THE DAY: Gary Negus and crew aboard the Miss Ella J. caught these rare beauties (inset) within 10 days of each other near the Sable Gas pipeline off the coast of Guysborough County. One has a 50/50 split in pigmentation, another is blue and iridescent, and the third could be described as khaki.

The full crew of the Miss Ella J., from left to right are: David Levesque, Athena Negus, Ben Grant, and Gary Colin Negus (Captain).
