Posted a 60 second vid on Instagram last Wednesday night and instantly saw it was getting a lot more views and comments etc than any other vid I had ever posted.

Not cuz of the size of the fish (modest 30/31 inch Ling), or the quality of the footage (it's ok), but because people from all over the world are tripping on the color of the Ling.

 :smt005 :smt044

Then some other sites shared it and got even more traffic...

It now has well over 125,000 combined views that I am aware of...

For comparison most of my vids don't even get 1,000 views and I think my previous most "popular" one had like 8,000ish.

The internet is a crazy place...never would I have imagined this little fish would get more attention than any other vid/pic/report I've ever done.  :smt005 :smt044

Here is the vid and some screenshots showing the traffic it has gotten.

Now, show a boobie in the video, and you will be making Matchbox 20 money!

Your Instagram followers are going up.  Don't disappoint them.  Now you have to find a blue abalone or scallop.
