I will put in another vote for the Smith Action Optics – I have the “fishbone” model with amber-colored glass lenses.
Does anybody know if gar will take a fly when they are spawning?
I know a place that gets a big spawning run of some gar that are easily up into the 10 pound plus range.
The locals down in Baja claim the Humboldts will definitely try to eat you. I think there are documented cases of squid attacking squid fishermen who have fallen in the water.
I saw a documentary that theorized that the squid are normally friendly and passive, and their aggressive attacking behavior is prompted by the stress of being fished heavily. The documentary writers claimed the squid are “gentle and curious” when away from the fishing boats. Maybe… but it seemed to me like the documentary was a little far fetched in bending over backwards to put a kind face on the squid. They were imparting some pretty sophisticated thought process to a mollusk. I wonder if the correlation might be more about whether the squid are in “feeding mode” (as they are when being fished). I wouldn’t want to fall in around a school of squid that had moved up into shallow water to feed on baitfish, regardless of whether fishing boats were around.

Seems a shame almost that they felt the need to keep it.
I’m sure after they pulled it out of the deep water, it was already dead anyway. I’ve had grouper’s guts blow out of their mouths just reeling them off of a 100 ft deep reef. This squid was probably thousands of feet down.
Well, one thing’s certain – it isn’t a mountain lion.
I don’t think it’s a deer – the back legs aren’t built right. I personally believe it’s a big bobcat. A big male can be up to 30-40 lbs. It’s hard to judge scale by the photo, but a 35-40 lb. cat is certainly within the range of reason.
