    Too cool! Sean is right, that Barracuda does look scary! Those blennies are adorable! Which jetties did you find them at?

    South Jetty at Port Aransas. Same Jetty as the annual BigBird123 collection trip. I caught a total of 6 (5 at one time) and threw the small ones back. I kept three but one didn't make it. I saw an emerald crab disposing of the carcass yesterday.

    Sharks of all kinds love those rigs, because of the food supply. Did you come across any? Ive heard whale sharks are spotted near the rigs in the gulf on a frequent basis.

    Great pics. The Molly Miller (blennies) make some great reef tank fish.

    Any reason he shot the barracuda? No AJ?

    Barracuda video


    6" bristleworm. It goes off camera for a second while I get my knife out to give it a little nudge to show it flaring it's bristles.

    The only shark I saw was the one that the boat captain caught and threw back. There are whale sharks occasionally but we didn't see any of those either.

    He said barracuda is good to eat. I guess I'll find out Sunday. Yum!
