I once saw a ling cod sitting on a ledge with a tail as wide as his hanging out of his mouth. Never underestimate a fish's appetiteChillyWaters:My dive buddy saw a fish eat a shrimp. The shrimp's head and antennae stuck out of the fish's mouth, while the shrimp periodically twitched. The shrimp looked a little big for that rockfish, but it was definitely an interesting sight.

swankenstein:and a school of juvenile Pacific cod
It sounds like we had identical dives. (rockfish eating shrimp, octopus in horizontal crack). I videoed my face inches from a rock sole and it didn't move. It blended in so well, it was hard to see it in the video. The juvenile cod were around 2-3 inches long. I'd guess there were around 20 of them. They had the same markings as adults and they had the 2 barbels hanging down under their chins.ChillyWaters:I saw a school if fish that I hadn't seen before... I wonder if that was it.
Also saw my first Rock Sole... about 14inches or so. Those guys sure let you get close. If only I had a macro lense...
