Spangled Emperor

This little fella followed me for the whole dive today. He seemed to like the bubbles.

Hey Garry - nice shot given the conditions of the water these past few days.

The spangled was probally keen on what was in you pocket.

Yes it was only about 5m vis out at Milln when I took this, the cyclone really did churn things up a bit.

Not sure why it would have been interested in the safety sausage in my pocket

ha ha

Nice sausage Garry..

HA!

Spangles always love a bit of sausage.....

Might get disqualified under the epic rules though ;;

"fish was influenced by whereabouts of safety sausage "

But would do well in the Broke back competition

ha ha hah ha

Did i just say that?! oops

That is so cool when animals behave like that, especially wild ones. I was at Catalina Island once when I was shooting mantis shrimp. I had a baggie of mackeral I used to lure the shrimp out of its burrow. Over my sholder was a slightly mangled black seabass, staring me right in my mask, literally a few inches away. I shit you not, when we pulled anchor and moved our boat 2-3 miles down the island (6-pak boat) we jumped in the water and viola, there was the same black seabass. It had followed us the whole time. The reason I knew it was the same one was the injury, which I have attached below.
