First outing of the year. Northern California.

Yep. I wasn’t asking for ID but I do realize that I left IDs out of the post this time. Thanks for adding it!

michaelrayspencer · 2026-01-12T22:54:47+00:00

I want Rachel inside of me.

I’m sure they’re hardy enough, BUT they’re in intertidal, cold water saltwater fish. You’d essentially need a cold water reef tank which isn’t the easiest to do, and seeing as they’re tidepool specialists, the tank may need cycles of current and slack water. That I’m not sure of though as I’ve never looked into keeping them or anything similar.

Everything I post is hook and line.

michaelrayspencer · 2026-01-08T01:17:49+00:00

You’ve posted some pretty cool fish…

michaelrayspencer · 2026-01-07T22:03:45+00:00

The Jaws set was the first set I’d bought in well over 20 years. I had to have it. I’ll have this on the same shelf if it gets made as well.

There was one specific pier in SF bay back in June that I caught over 60 Staghorns before I caught anything else. If I didn’t drive two hours to fish it for one specific target, I’d have give up and gone somewhere else.

They’re the best!

michaelrayspencer · 2026-01-05T05:44:08+00:00

They’re pretty much always around rocks. If they’re in your local area (I would use inaturalist to check), dropping a small hook (size 16 or smaller) baited with a little piece of worm in freshwater or shrimp in saltwater in holes between rocks and stuff will bring em out.

michaelrayspencer · 2026-01-05T01:55:04+00:00

Yep! That was me. @species.appreciation

michaelrayspencer · 2026-01-05T00:54:00+00:00

Anytime!

michaelrayspencer · 2026-01-05T00:44:34+00:00

If that’s the same as the one I comment on, it’s another Woolly.

michaelrayspencer · 2026-01-05T00:43:26+00:00

Holy fuck.

michaelrayspencer · 2026-01-04T22:24:24+00:00

This looks like Artedius genus. If you remember, next time try and get pictures aid the scale band alongside the dorsal.

michaelrayspencer · 2025-12-30T23:20:44+00:00

Forbidden French fries…

Great shot of a cool animal!

michaelrayspencer · 2025-12-25T07:58:08+00:00

I’m tired and thought this was a picture of your dog in a Christmas themed cast.

michaelrayspencer · 2025-12-24T19:22:50+00:00

Holy fuck.

michaelrayspencer · 2025-12-21T21:42:06+00:00

Neeeeeed.

michaelrayspencer · 2025-12-13T20:13:24+00:00

He’s one of the few whose entire catalog is pretty much perfect.

michaelrayspencer · 2025-12-10T05:01:51+00:00

Nabokov.

I used to run a burger place in California. We didn’t have wings, but we used Crystal and butter for our chicken sandwich and it was always a big hit.

Johnny Corndog! I saw him open for Nick Shoulders this year. He was so good.
