Scrawled Filefish

Got the oil changed and a beef/pumpkin/cabbage/pot soup made and while we were loading up the garbage we saw the coolest fish.  I tried to get pictures. . .

Okay it just wouldn't hold still!  It was at least 2' long and is a Scrawled Filefish, we have seen them in the past a couple times but they were only a couple inches long.  This is a pic I didn't take, but shows what it looked like.

They usually float around with their head pointed down to confuse prey.  Audubon book might be the best present I've given Zach!

Couldn't resist another picture of the new dingy!  We are out of here in the next couple hours, looks like a slightly squally day so we might get a little wet.
