Description

Went poke-poling with Phil for the first time today, and, remarkably, had success. I pulled this little monster out from beneath a boulder at Pillar Point. I would have loved to get a more glamourous shot of this impressive beast, but fishing, like most acts of carnivory, is an unglamorous business. This, at least, is pretty realistic. For scale, this was a 5 gallon bucket. The fish was about 18" long.
