1/18 SI Report and Fish ID?
 

A couple of spotties, a few lizard fish, mantis shrimp, and .....? Best pic I had, try to notice the lateral fin goes all the way around its tail fin. I caught it using one of the lizards my buddy caught on my hali rig.

good job Iceman, thats it. had lots of wierd little dots(looked like tattoo's all over it)Thanks

wow, never caught that. Looks weird with those eyes out of place.

Plain Fin Midshipmen. Cool in a really ugly and creepy way. Mike

That looks like a Manta Shrimp. if so be cautious around their front mandibles they pack a punch.
I ate one in Thailand and it was delicious.

Midshipman- those "tattoo" spots are bioluminescent (glow in the dark)

good for squid bait!:D

I caught one out there a couple of years ago, if I remember correctly it had some sort of rattlesnake type fangs as well. Shook it off the hook quickly as it was such a strange looking fish. Went home and researched and it was claimed to be excellent table fare.

I have only seen one, but they are awesomely ugly in a cool ass way!

Manta shrimp
 

I caught One that size in SD bay bait dock around 3:00 pm today.
and that's not all? A 10lb starfish, 1 octopus,
4 lizard fish and 1 short but. All on mega bait jig.
Yes! a very weird but great day of fishing.
Sorry no pics. Can't get pics out of my phone...
