Cool fish, right? I hate when the pics I use at the start of every blog post are imperfect, but the sharp contrast of the orange jig head almost works here.

Species: Largemouth Blenny (Labrisomus xanti)
Location: Dana Point Marina, Dana Point, CA
Date: August 9, 2017

Sculpins are awesome. Greenling are awesome. Blennies, which sort of look like a cross between the two, are also awesome.

Few fish will try to bite you, but blennies, found in warmer temperate and tropical waters all over the world, are one of them. Their size means nothing to them, and these relatively small fish will often bite or try to bite you if handled.

The deep red Largemouth Blenny I captured were beautiful fish and arguably the most surprising fish I captured fishing the Dana Point Marina.

Unlike the highly-visible Opaleye and Salema, these blue-speckled red phantoms zipped in and out of the rocks with surprising speed, and I never saw them coming.

The two I caught were hard to handle, and I had limited space to work with, so I only got one picture before the writhing beast got free. It bit me, but it was surprising more than painful.

  190. I do believe that a foreclosure can have a important effect on the applicant’s life. Home foreclosures can have a Six to a decade negative affect on a borrower’s credit report. The borrower who may have applied for a home loan or just about any loans for that matter, knows that a worse credit rating is usually, the more challenging it is for any decent mortgage loan. In addition, it may possibly affect a new borrower’s power to find a really good place to lease or hire, if that results in being the alternative houses solution. Good blog post.

  191. One more thing. I think that there are numerous travel insurance websites of dependable companies that allow you enter your journey details and have you the estimates. You can also purchase the particular international travel insurance policy online by using your credit card. All that you should do is always to enter all travel specifics and you can be aware of the plans side-by-side. Merely find the plan that suits your capacity to pay and needs after which it use your credit card to buy the item. Travel insurance on the internet is a good way to start looking for a respected company pertaining to international travel insurance. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

However, I have the view that lap tops are still more or less not powerful more than enough to be a good option if you frequently do tasks that require a great deal of power, just like video modifying. But for net surfing, word processing, and a lot other prevalent computer work they are okay, provided you never mind your little friend screen size. Thank you sharing your opinions.

  193. I do believe all of the ideas you have introduced for your post. They’re really convincing and can definitely work. Still, the posts are too brief for novices. Could you please lengthen them a little from next time? Thanks for the post.

  203. Thanks for your write-up. One other thing is that individual states have their own personal laws that will affect house owners, which makes it very, very hard for the the legislature to come up with a brand new set of rules concerning property foreclosure on house owners. The problem is that a state provides own laws which may have interaction in an undesirable manner in terms of foreclosure insurance plans.

Many times however, the soft clouds isn’t exactly what you had at heart and can in many cases spoil an otherwise good photograph, especially if you intend on enlarging that.

  228. Thanks for your post. I would like to opinion that the first thing you will need to do is to see if you really need credit restoration. To do that you must get your hands on a copy of your credit file. That should never be difficult, considering that the government mandates that you are allowed to obtain one totally free copy of your real credit report on a yearly basis. You just have to request the right people. You can either read the website for that Federal Trade Commission and also contact one of the leading credit agencies specifically.

  229. I have seen a great deal of useful elements on your web site about pcs. However, I’ve the viewpoint that laptops are still not nearly powerful enough to be a good choice if you typically do jobs that require loads of power, for instance video editing.

  230. Nice post. I learn something more challenging on completely different blogs everyday. It is going to at all times be stimulating to read content material from different writers and practice slightly something from their store. I?d want to use some with the content on my weblog whether you don?t mind. Natually I?ll offer you a link on your internet blog. Thanks for sharing.
