Hey there lonehunter,

Thanks for the DFG or DNR info!

I did a survey on each state's official fresh and saltwater fish. I'll send it to you in a Word Document format. Most states, with a border on the ocean, don't have a saltwater state fish. California has two colorful state fish as you well know. Freshwater: Golden Trout, Saltwater Garabaldi (bright, bright orange) Personally, I think the state fish ought to be changed to the adult male sheepshead with its' black and yellow vertical bars!

Your buddy,

JapanRon

Those Garibaldi are beautiful fish in themselves. When I was doing my final open-water dive for my scuba certification, the instructor took us to the Malibu area for our dive. It was fun feeding the Garibaldi's by hand. Fed them freshly killed Sea Urchins.

[crazy][crazy][crazy] Now for the reason I came in here in the first place...

Loner, the MN link brings you to a page that says the page is no longer available due to changes in the website. If you don't get to it, I'll see if I can find the correct link tomorrow night.
