Sculpins are probably my favorite micros, but blennies come pretty close.

Species: Bay Blenny (Hypsoblennius gentilis)
Location: Del Mar Lagoon, Del Mar, California
Date: August 5, 2018

The final species I landed while fishing with Ben Cantrell in San Diego was the Bay Blenny. These adorable little critters hide in nooks and crannies, looking grumpy AF while waiting for something unfortunate enough to float by.

Get a bait within a few inches of a blenny, and it’s over.

At the time, I’d only caught Largemouth Blenny, so I knew that, but the Bay Blenny was still new and exciting.

Just like the Largemouth Blennies I’d caught, it was absurdly aggressive and tried to bite me when I handled it.

These are such beautiful, alien fish that it was worth getting bit for this picture.

Since I’ve already covered this day in detail, and there isn’t a lot lot else to cover, I guess I’ll end it there. Just focus on the picture above and forget how unfulfilling this story was.

    thing to do with Girl gaga! Your individual stuffs excellent.

    All the time take care of it up!

  20. Hello mates, how is the whole thing, and what you want to say regarding this post,
    in my view its genuinely remarkable in favor of me.

  22. Siedze tu od dobrych paru miesiecy, wiec chyba moge cos skrobnac. Trafilem tam przypadkiem, bo wkurzalo mnie tego cyrku z dokumentami gdzie indziej. Sam lobby FieryPlay wyglada solidnie — jakies 2500 gier, przede wszystkim Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO, NetEnt i troche Yggdrasil i Betsoftem.

    Sam siedze najczesciej na Gates of Olympus i Sweet Bonanza, nic odkrywczego. Plus za to ze mozna odpalic demo bez zakladania konta, polatalem po nowosciach zanim wplacilem cokolwiek. Wyszukiwarka za to kuleje — brakuje mi filtra po zmiennosci.

    Sekcja live to praktycznie w calosci Evolution co akurat jest zaleta. Blackjack, ruletka, plus te ich show typu Crazy Time — wieczorami potrafie tam zostac dluzej niz planowalem. Prawdziwi ludzie po drugiej stronie, w wiekszosci anglojezyczni, na polski stol nie trafilem — komus moze to przeszkadzac.

    Oferta na dzien dobry na FieryPlay to 100% do 2000 zl i 100 free spinow, rozbite na kilka dni. Obrot x35 — standard w tej branzy. Byly tez jakies spiny bez depozytu za weryfikacje numeru, ale to raczej okazjonalnie. Warunki przejrzyj zanim klikniesz — kody potrafia sie zmieniac z miesiaca na miesiac, najnowsze warunki sa opisane na [url=https://www.swizzpools.com/]https://swizzpools.com/[/url] dla pewnosci.

    Konto zrobilem w niecale trzy minuty, min. depozyt to 20 zl. Wplacam Visa, obok tego dzialaja Skrill, Neteller oraz Bitcoin. Wyplaty w FieryPlay na Skrilla przyszly mi tego samego dnia, karta to juz dwa-trzy dni. Weryfikacja za pierwszym razem — standard, poszlo gladko.

    Mobilnie lece przez przegladarke, apki nie ma i chyba nie potrzeba. Support FieryPlay odpisuje po polsku bez dluzszego czekania, chociaz raz dostalem odpowiedz zywcem z FAQ. Dzialaja na licencji Curacao — nie MGA, wiec swiadomosc ryzyka po twojej stronie. Limity depozytu da sie ustawic w ustawieniach konta.

  25. You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something that I think

    I have had difficulty clearing my thoughts in getting my
    thoughts out. I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first

The actual sensors involving some digital cameras change in contrast, while others utilize a beam of infra-red (IR) light, particularly in low light.

Many thanks for sharing your ideas on this blog site.

  370. Blennies really are the perfect example of how you don’t need a huge fish to have a great time on the water. That “grumpy AF” description made me laugh because it’s so accurate — they always look like they’re personally offended you disturbed them. I’ve heard stories about them biting handlers but didn’t realize how common it was until reading this, so getting bit for the photo feels like a badge of honor honestly. Del Mar Lagoon seems like such a productive spot for micros, and fishing with Ben Cantrell clearly paid off with multiple new species that day. Also love that you rank sculpins above blennies — tough call, but I might have to agree after seeing some of the sculpin entries in this series. Looking forward to the California Scorpionfish one next, those are such prehistoric-looking fish. Keep the species hunting posts coming!

  371. Don’t sell this entry short — any day you add a new species to the list is a win in my book! The “grumpy AF” description had me laughing because it’s so spot on. Blennies really do have that permanent scowl, like you personally offended them by casting near their rock. I love how fearless they are for their size too — getting bit by a fish that fits in your palm is basically a badge of honor at that point. And you’re right about them looking alien, the way they perch on those little fins almost like they’re standing up to inspect you. Congrats on #171! Now I’m off to read about the scorpionfish, those guys are something else with all those spines.

  374. I’ve been surfing on-line more than three hours today,
    but I by no means found any attention-grabbing
    article like yours. It is pretty value enough for me.
    In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made excellent content material as you did, the web will likely be much more helpful than ever before.

  377. Thanks for a marvelous posting! I truly enjoyed reading it,
    you may be a great author.I will remember to bookmark your blog and will come back very soon. I want to encourage one to continue your great work, have a nice
    morning!

  380. Every weekend i used to pay a visit this web site, because i
    want enjoyment, as this this web site conations genuinely nice funny data too.

  381. Very nice post. I just stumbled upon your weblog and wanted to say that I’ve really enjoyed surfing around your blog posts.
    In any case I’ll be subscribing to your feed and I hope you write again very soon!

  382. Wonderful article! This is the kind of info that should be shared across
    the web. Shame on the seek engines for now not positioning this post upper!
    Come on over and seek advice from my website . Thank you =)

  384. Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles?
    I mean, what you say is important and all. Nevertheless just imagine
    if you added some great photos or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”!
    Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this site could certainly be one of the greatest in its
    niche. Good blog!

  386. What’s Taking place i am new to this, I stumbled upon this I
    have found It positively useful and it has aided me out loads.
    I’m hoping to contribute & help different users like its helped me.
    Good job.

  387. I’m not sure exactly why but this web site is loading incredibly slow for me.

    Is anyone else having this problem or is it a problem on my end?
    I’ll check back later and see if the problem still exists.

  390. “Looking grumpy AF” is such a perfect description — blennies really do have that permanently annoyed expression, like you just interrupted something important. It’s wild how aggressive they are for their size too. You’d think a fish that small would be shy, but no, they’ll absolutely go after a bait (or a finger, apparently). Worth the bite for that photo though, the detail on those facial cirri came out great. Funny that you mention sculpins as your favorite micros — there’s definitely some overlap in the personality department between them and blennies. Del Mar Lagoon seems like an underrated spot for micro fishing. Congrats on #171, that’s an impressive count to reach.

  392. We’re a group of volunteers and starting a new scheme in our community.
    Your web site offered us with valuable info to work on. You have
    done an impressive job and our entire community will be thankful
    to you.

  395. Blennies really do have the best grumpy faces in the fish world! I laughed at the “looking grumpy AF” line because it’s so accurate — they always seem personally offended that you disturbed them. The fact that it tried to bite you while handling it is both hilarious and very on-brand for these little guys. It’s wild how such tiny fish have zero fear and pure aggression. Fishing with Ben Cantrell in San Diego sounds like an amazing trip, and Del Mar Lagoon clearly delivered. Don’t sell the story short, either — sometimes a great photo of an alien-looking fish is all you need. Now I’m curious how the Bay Blenny compares to the Largemouth in terms of fight. Thanks for sharing, and good luck reaching the next species milestone!

  398. Do you mind if I quote a few of your posts as long as I provide credit and sources back to your website?
    My blog site is in the exact same niche as yours and my visitors would really benefit from some of the information you present here.
    Please let me know if this ok with you. Thanks!

  401. Fantastic blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers?
    I’m planning to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
    Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so
    many options out there that I’m completely confused ..
    Any recommendations? Cheers!

  402. magnificent publish, very informative. I ponder why
    the opposite experts of this sector do not notice this. You must proceed your
    writing. I’m sure, you’ve a huge readers’ base already!

  403. Hi there! I’m at work browsing your blog from
    my new apple iphone! Just wanted to say I love reading through your blog and look
    forward to all your posts! Carry on the fantastic work!

  405. Neat blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download
    it from somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog jump out.
    Please let me know where you got your theme. Thanks

  406. I’m not sure where you are getting your info, but great topic.
    I needs to spend some time learning much more or understanding more.
    Thanks for great info I was looking for this information for my mission.

  407. Hi there! This is my first comment here so I just wanted to give a
    quick shout out and say I genuinely enjoy reading your articles.
    Can you suggest any other blogs/websites/forums that deal with the same topics?
    Thanks a ton!

  412. My spouse and I stumbled over here from a different website
    and thought I might check things out. I like what I see so now i’m following
    you. Look forward to finding out about your web page again.

  413. magnificent put up, very informative. I ponder why the opposite specialists of this sector
    do not realize this. You must continue your writing. I’m sure,
    you’ve a great readers’ base already!

  414. Wow, incredible blog layout! How long have you been blogging for?
    you made blogging look easy. The overall look of your website is excellent,
    as well as the content!

  416. Wow! This blog looks just like my old one!

    It’s on a entirely different topic but it has pretty much the same page layout and
    design. Excellent choice of colors!

  417. A motivating discussion is worth comment.
    I believe that you ought to write more on this topic,
    it may not be a taboo matter but typically people don’t talk about
    such subjects. To the next! Many thanks!!

  418. What you published made a lot of sense. But, think on this, what if you were
    to write a awesome post title? I ain’t saying your content isn’t good, but suppose you added a post title to maybe
    grab a person’s attention? I mean Species #171 — Bay Blenny –
    CaughtOvgard is kinda boring. You should peek at Yahoo’s front page and note how they create post titles to get people interested.
    You might try adding a video or a related pic or two to grab readers interested about what you’ve got to
    say. Just my opinion, it could bring your blog a little bit more interesting.

  419. It’s awesome to go to see this web site and reading
    the views of all colleagues about this paragraph, while I am also zealous of getting experience.

  420. Heya! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?
    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing several weeks of hard work due
    to no back up. Do you have any solutions to prevent hackers?

  421. I’m pretty pleased to discover this site. I wanted to thank you
    for ones time for this wonderful read!! I definitely
    appreciated every bit of it and I have you book marked to check out new information in your
    site.

  423. The “grumpy AF” description is spot on — blennies always look like they’re personally offended you disturbed their day. It’s funny how such tiny fish have zero fear and will absolutely go after a finger twice their size. Getting bit by a fish measured in inches really tells you everything you need to know about their attitude.

    Interesting that you mention sculpins as your favorite micros — I’d have guessed blennies after reading this. There’s something about fish with that much personality packed into a small package that makes them way more fun than they have any right to be. The alien comparison is apt too, those faces are like something from a deep sea documentary even though they’re hiding in plain sight in a lagoon.

    Also, don’t sell the story short — not every entry needs an epic tale. Sometimes a cool fish and a good photo is enough. Del Mar Lagoon sounds like a spot worth spending more time at if species like this are hanging around the rocks. Good luck knocking out more blenny species on the quest!

  424. The “grumpy AF” description is spot on — blennies always look like they’re personally offended you disturbed them! I’ve seen them while tidepooling and they really do have those alien little faces with so much personality packed into a few inches of fish. It’s wild how aggressive they are for their size, too. Most micros you have to practically beg to bite, but you’re right that a blenny will absolutely murder a bait that drifts too close to its hideout. Getting bit by one while handling it just adds to the charm somehow. Glad you took one for the team to get the photo! Also curious — between sculpins and blennies, what is it about them that makes them your favorites? The attitude? The variety? I feel like the little aggressive fish are always the most memorable catches. Nice work adding another species to the quest, and looking forward to the scorpionfish entry!

  425. Don’t sell this entry short — the photo alone makes it worth it! I laughed at the “grumpy AF” description because that’s exactly how blennies look, like tiny ornery old men guarding their doorsteps. It still amazes me how aggressive they are for their size. Honestly, the fact that it tried to bite you while handling it just makes them more charming in my book. There’s something about micro species with attitude that sticks with you longer than a lot of trophy fish do. Out of curiosity, what puts sculpins ahead of blennies for you? The variety of shapes and colors? I’ve only ever tangled with a couple of small saltwater species myself, but posts like this keep adding to my wish list. Can’t wait to see what comes next in the series!

  429. Hey there would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with?

  458. Thanks for the helpful post. It is also my belief that mesothelioma has an incredibly long latency time, which means that signs of the disease won’t emerge right until 30 to 50 years after the primary exposure to mesothelioma. Pleural mesothelioma, which is the most common style and influences the area throughout the lungs, will cause shortness of breath, breasts pains, plus a persistent cough, which may bring about coughing up our blood.

  459. Thanks a lot for the helpful article. It is also my belief that mesothelioma cancer has an incredibly long latency phase, which means that signs of the disease might not exactly emerge until 30 to 50 years after the first exposure to asbestos fiber. Pleural mesothelioma, that is the most common variety and influences the area throughout the lungs, could potentially cause shortness of breath, upper body pains, plus a persistent cough, which may lead to coughing up maintain.
