That is weird since spawn colours don't really kick in unless the fish are in fresh water.

Not always true. There are instances when fish congregate in certain areas and some start getting coloured while still in the ocean.
This pic was taken near Brown's Bay:


And some can get quite a bit darker.

Totally agree. Excellent tablefare when freshly caught in the ocean.
And boy, do they ever fight well! ;D

Ever seen a chromier chum than this?


Impossible! :D

Wow Milo, you sure do well with these.

I remember the photo you put on that thread I started in the fish kitchen forum. If that first picture is what you call colored then I think you would be interested in the one I saw at the Steveston docks - it practically going black (..wish I had taken a photo).
