Baja California Sur, Mexico Being cleaned at the dock after being caught offshore. All the fishing recently has been in the same general area according to the captain.
These fish swam with floating clumps of water hyacinth washed out to see from nearby rivers onshore. We were attached to an oil rig, fishing offshore, so perhaps it is a reef fish. They blended in perfectly with the bronze colored plants when in the water. Some of them hopped out of the water and seemed to flutter over water for several feet to escape my dip net.
