Lol its on the list. I like the gulf coast fishing you guys have.

 

[Kristin1234]

You were trying to catch her weren't you?

Lol, she didn't bother us at all. Very peaceful.

 

[jay0705]

I'am guessing trigger looked like some kind of sea slug and it thought he was food lol

 

[Kristin1234]

I took a pic of her, I need to find it for you.

 

[trigger40]

Lol its on the list. I like the gulf coast fishing you guys have.

it is something else, im lucky enough to have a fish camp in venice LA. i'll have to show you some of the pics. but i got a bay right behind my house and after school ill go down there and catch trout and drum.

 

[jay0705]

Drum u mean red fish?

 

[trigger40]

triggerfish get VERY aggressive when it is time for them to breed. even humu triggers will attack people during breeding time. so i was just out there at the time and place. the triggerfish will protect an area the size of a football field and a pair will protect that area with their fry in the middle. lol sharks don't even go near those guys.
