Frogfish Swimming Video - Flight of the Frogfish

[Soloist]

Here is a swimming frogfish video captured in Bonaire. Pretty amazing occurrence we happened upon. He gave me just enough time to dim and position my lights before deploying his antenna and launching himself into the wild blue.

Fantastic, have never seen Frogfish move by more than about a foot

I thought it interesting how he seemed to use gulps to propel himself through the water so of course I had to google how frogfish swim. Yep, water jet propulsion!
