Lingcod at Sund Rock

[dphershman]

Went to Sund Rock this last weekend, cold surface water but not bad visibility. The best subjects were the male lings guarding their egg masses. Not overly aggressive but they did hold their ground.

Wow, that first shot almost looks like it's in 3D. Outstanding!

Thanks! I'm experimenting with the new fisheye lens that I got last month (but was too sick to try out until now)!

Nice pictures . My buddy and I were up there for some night dives on Thursday night and a few day dives on Friday. Dipped below freezing at night, but we had some fun dives. I haven't yet finished editing the trip video, but we had a really cool Ling Cod encounter on the first night dive. We came across a very pregnant female that was the thickest Ling Cod I have ever seen. Maybe 4 feet long, but the head was at least 2 feet in diameter, giant belly. She was surrounded by four male Ling Cod escorts it was pretty cool. I also noticed that there is a pair of Bald Eagles nesting in a tree above the south point. I watched the male dive down and snatch a Rockfish right out the water and bring it back to the female. Looked like she might have been feeding it to some young, but I couldn't make them out from below.

Cool! Looking forward to seeing the video!
