Bill and Brian went out today after school and found this girl. She was HUGE! Not sure what she is. She was found in an area where we've never seen anything but NWs (T, ordinoides). What do you guys think? I was thinking Puget but the snout it pretty pointy, so I'm thrown a little. The pics are a little blurry, but here they are.

Re: Big Betty
I wish I could have gone with, but I'm battling bronchitis right now. Any thoughts on an ID?

Re: Big Betty
Could it be a fitchi, but I've never seen them around here before. The snout it just too pointy to be a Puget. My Pugets all have rounded noses. I'm perplexed!
