Great report Larry! Looks like you're up to your usual antics! Keep up the good work!

That isopod is pretty cool. I find them in tuna stomachs a lot when the tuna are foraging in close proximity to kelp paddies... below is some more info on the critters...

I think the tuna and other fish pick these things out of the kelp when other prey is scarce. I find them in stomachs that are usually empty except for the isopods. Tuna and other ifsh eat all kinds of crazy things. Everytime I open a tuna stomach I find something new... it makes me wonder why they care to eat flylined sardines...

Cool find Scally! I would have loved to see that stomach... every stomach is different. I have always wondered if the fish eat the squid eggs... it would make sense to me as they are like "super food" IMO... keep up the hard wok guys!

Nice haul Larry.

I know for sure that Batrays will sit on a bed of Squid eggs and munch, but no info on any other fish.
