I'd show the video of my pipefish but I'm afraid snapchat would leak it :smt044

way cool Jim!
As a little kid I had a couple that i found washed up dead after big storms. I dried them in the sun like seahorses and had them in a glass case for years. To see them alive is really special.

never knew of such a thing!....cute lil' pipefish

To see them alive is really special.
I know right?!?
I was laying on the surface breathing up and looking down through the kelp and relaxing...and my eyes picked out his body and tail...
I was like WTF is that? Seahorse? Dove down and there he was...couldn't find him again after that brief encounter though...looks just like a little kelp frond!

Ive been scuba diving for 25 years and free diving about 5 years and never saw one of those until this past August at Shelter Cove. It was only about 2 inches long with a seahorse face. Tried describing it to people back on land but no one knew what I was talking about.
Thanks for the ID and the vid.
Cool little fish :smt001

That was a cool dive Bigjim! I wish i could hold my breath that long :smt001 I can't believe you didn't eat that pipefish :smt001

Man, good eye spotting that little guy. Your videos give off the feeling that you are just completely relaxed out there, movements are smooth and graceful. Not like if I were to film my dives where it is as fast to the bottom as I can, quick pop of an ab and racing back to the surface.LOL

Cabbie with a migraine, LOL.

What a trip! Soft hands on the pipefish. Cool footage Jim!
-
You sure make a minute seem like along time.
Oh wait. Underwater it is!
-
Pipefish are in the same family as seahorses
-
So, with those pipefish...do you recommend a treble-hook stinger or just straight nose hooked?
-
We used to get them in our castnets up here occasionally.

How does the Pipefish smoke. I think we need to put something in it.
