A barred surfperch lies on wet beach sand next to the hard swimbait lure it was caught on, a Lucky Craft Venus Anchovy pattern in silver with a pink head. The fish is a deep-bodied surfperch with a greenish-bronze head, golden-olive flanks marked with darker vertical bars, and a large dark eye. The photo was taken on the sand at Port Hueneme, California, in bright daylight with a strong shadow cast to the right.
