That is a LITTLE SKATE.  There is no debating it or question about it.

Some basic skate ID:

Little skate and winter skate are easily confused.  The main difference is that Little skate are smaller, making large little skates easily confused with small winter skates.  Little skates, are however,  sexually mature at a smaller size than winterskates (at the same size winter skates are sexually immature).  Your skate is a sexually mature male (I.e. enlarged claspers, gross i know), this coupled with its small size mean it is a little skate.

Clearnose skates look a lot different than that.  They have an almost triangular "nose",  and they have tiger like markings on their body.  They are a warmer water species and you will catch them often in shallow water when bottomfishing.

If everyone followed that type of ignorance I'm sure more than half our species would be endangered by now.

Half endangered? Not quite! I'm sure that what was meant by "A skate is a skate" is they would rather be catching something different i.e. fluke, seabass, etc;.

FYI, the members of this site are the most friendliest and eco-conscientious people around. By your post, I see you too are concerned about the environment. Let's not be so quick to jump the gun next time t^
