This is true. Here's a picture of a few critters we shook out of some seaweed we picked up in the surf last year. I let them all go as I didn't have a salt tank for them :(
We caught 3 anglers, 1 pipefish, a couple nudibranches and tons of shrimp and crabs. I'm going to do this type of "fishing" again soon...maybe I'll bring some back this time.
