Neat Lings

[popeshawnpaul]

Yeah, it's kind of wierd but the meat is neon green/blue.  Kind of wierd to eat at first.  I've caught them everywhere so it must be a prey species that occurs all over.  You are right about the cabezon too, they are blue as well sometimes.  The mystery continues...

I guess the best guess I've heard so far is a crab type.

Man that would have made a neat mount.

Does anyone know definitively what turns them blue?    Anyone know for sure?

I was told by NMF bios and observers that the blue/green color comes from eating a lot of crab. Something about the calcium in the shell.

Nice!  I caught a cabazon that had the same blue color.

While one is blue, the other is kind of red.  Ergo..

One voted for Obama and the other for McCain... sorry, couldn't resist

By the way, 2 more weekends to get some lings in the sound and San Juans.  I'm hoping to get something big for you guys this weekend...
