 Some kids just caught this at the end of the wharf. We don’t know what it is, and Ed isn’t here. If you know, please leave a comment to this message – thanks

    It looks like a giant kelpfish, but they’re only found in southern california waters.

    Some kind of kelpfish. I don’t think its a giant kelpfish.

    Probably a striped kelpfish or one of the other smaller varieties.
