You probably saw my post about finding that tuna on Crystal Cove Beach a few days ago. Well, today, in west Newport I find this...

About a 30 pound or so baby thresher! I guess the rough weather lately is rough on the fish too?? Now, if I could just find these things when they are still alive, in the water and ready to bite, then I'd have something... :wink:

you sure know how to sniff em out! nothing meant by that with regard to your screenname ;) haha... weird stuff though! maybe the thresher was chasing that tuna ;) ;)
yea i bet these weird weather changes and that surge from the arctic has really screwed up the chain.

Yeah that's just a piece of kelp. I didn't want to touch the decomposing old thing to move that for the picture. That didn't have anything to do with it coming up on the beach, just happens to be there.
