It is late, but cool idea abundance. Now if we can get some others to post we might get something going.
Re: Fish Pictures
Nice pictures. I particularly liked the sardine and mystery fish photos. I remember when those sardines swarmed in around here a few years ago. It was fun seeing something completely different. I didn't think to take a picture of them, and regret it. I suppose that one of the things that I hope to see on here are pictures like that, of odd creatures that we found out there. I remember, around ten years ago or more, a flood of Atka mackerel coming through. We just couldn't keep them off of our gear. They stayed all year, then slowly dwindled off. We had never seen them before, and never seen them since. We kept one in the freezer until we could find out what they even were. I've looked up pictures since, but I wish that I had taken some of my own. I may never get to see one again, and a reminder would have been nice. And I know that it is getting on a bit to start digging through past photos, as everybody is gearing up for a new years worth of fishing, but found a number of them while looking through my scenery photos and decided to put them up before I forgot about them. I am curious to see what other people come up with.

A pipefish, related to seahorses. I have watched the females give the eggs to the male to raise. They are very weird animals. Easy to catch with your bare hands too.

A better picture of a wolf eel. Don't let one get ahold of you, or going to be missing a finger.

Re: Fish Pictures
Salty, that little mystery fish is a pacific sandfish, Trichodon trichodon. One of the less frequently encountered forage fish. Was this in a stomach?
Re: Fish Pictures
Correct, was spit up by a coho. Most often these fish breakdown so fast you see little more than the jaw. In some areas they are quite abundant, like Icy Straits. I will look up their life cycle. Thanks a lot.
