11/17/13 Halfmoon Bay. GoPro surveillance on the crab trap revels some surprises. First of all, I was surprised to see that the rigid Promar Hoop Traps are not completely escape proof.  Then the special guest makes his appearance.  Is it a WSB or just large Croaker?  Its difficult to tell.  I tried to slow it down and tweek the colors, but I cant tell for sure.  Any thoughts?

Cool video!  Clever crab indeed.  He's all like "I'm just gonna jump in here, get a snack, and be on my way."  :smt044

As for the fish...ya got me.  Some kind of croaker.  Perhaps a mondo white croaker?
