This month's photo is proof positive that sometimes, being a spearo bites. rofl

Shadowkiller kindly sent me this one of his mate in full retreat from the jaws of a six spine. :blackeye

Same deal as before- come up with and submit the funniest caption for the photo and you'll stroll around replete with a DB T shirt or a DB coffee mug. :cool:

Contest ends the end of the month and we're a few days in already so get busy and ferchrissakes mind the jewels. :crutch

You don't look anything like your picture on the mail-order bride website!! Oh well, pucker up darling it's our honeymoon.
 
I have no idea what I'm looking it. Seriously, that's not a caption, what is this piece of... colours? :)
 
So that's how a blowfish looks like!



Now really, is this some kind of pretty triggerfish looking for a the rest of the gun?

Six-spine Leatherjacket (Meuschenia freycineti
Named for the six-spines on each side of the wrist of the tail.

Very pretty, very tasty.

The leatherjackets rely on camoflage, and have this innate belief a diver cant see them... Pete grabbed it by hand, it swung around and WAM!

I simple refer to it as the George Maickerel incident... :D

The lower picture on the fact sheet looks a little familier. Do leatherjackets sometime hover vertically (head down if I remember correct) near structures?
 
Some species do. Tropical species especially.

My caption would be:

Soft-plastics strike again

:) Funny if you fish using the new lures...
But as I supplied the pic, I'll withdraw from the contest for the ultimate prize in freediving. :martial
