Mola

My brother just called and told me about the week long diving trip he had off the coast of California.

It was a traing class on how to identify classes of fish. ...

He ask me if I heard of a Sunfish. they are also called a Mola....

I didn't...so he sent me a link...

He told me he swam with a herd of these and they are bigger than you think

Wish I had the money to go with him....I think I'm jealous

Re: Mola

OH MAN! That would be so cool.
Sounds like a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Re: Mola

Mola-Mola...Ugly suckers...and HUGE! I've seen a couple of them while fishing near the Farallon Islands, (pretty uncommon up this far north) and several in the waters off Hawaii. Monterey Bay Aquarium used to have a couple in their "Outer Bay Experience" tank, but I haven't been there in about 4 years, so I don't know if they are still there or not...
