Keystone jetty

[VooDooGasMan]

The lings are taking charge of the eggs, I was looking in holes when one hit me, turned and came back by under me. To my futher knowledge when I looked below me and found this So Now I know I was in his territory, this is the treatment they give you. YouTube - M4H04605.MP4

It's funny, I have rarely seen lings really aggressive. At Edmonds, where there are a lot of them, they often just sit and look at you. At Sund Rock, we had one that was swimming circles in a tizzy at the approach of divers, but he didn't attack anybody. This is in contrast to the cabezons, who are just plain crazy! I guess the ones at Keystone aren't quite as diver-conditioned as the ones at Edmonds.

While the Edmonds cabezon are crazy (A dozen attacks last weekend), I have been nailed by irritated lingcod a couple of times. My son, the one I quote in my signature, was attacked by a ling on a night dive at Edmonds. The fish at Edmonds are so confident that even the rockfish cop an attitude.

cabezons in the park have been brutal to a diver for 15 years that I know of. The lings seem to cath me by suprise when they attack, and they go for upper body. alot of times you see the mass, but the ones you don't, BOOM!!!!

That ling in vid was no little guy, in vid, thats about ten foot deeper. although it made it a fun dive.

keystone and over to pillings

Great day under, calm sea's, sun out, vis was awesome. First off ya gotta love this guy:fire::fire: then this giant, just below him this one was a bit smaller, about 46" by now I decide to head east, for that was the first decent of dive.



Took petes line over:babycrawl: and some good life clinging on there I soon was looking at the pillings. and my time was not bad fighting current in 13m of sea water.

Did vid on way out, and vid through pillings.

Is that octo still in his little cave on the far side from the entry, about halfway back, at the bottom?

I saw one a few years ago, the eyeball was the size of a softball, mantle about 18" or so! Huge!

Yea there is octos in that area and others, every one takes turns in those holes. Found one blowing on its eggs on this dive, did vid. can't get you tube going anymore to show. the octo was big.
