On this particular day, it was slim picking's in the water: there wasn't much to see. Fortunately, I was able to spot and sneak up on a couple of large pickerel lurking on the edge of the basin.Chain PickerelEsox niger Morrison Springs ParkWalton County Florida, USAOlympus OM-D E-M5 14-42mm II Lens PT-EP08 Underwater Housing, PPO-EP01 Lens Port & Sea Life Sea Dragon 2000 Underwater Light

A wonderful scientific image of a male Olympic mudminnow. USFWS biologist Roger Tabor left no detail forgotten. Look through your fish guides and you will notice that fish always face left when illustrated! New fun fact of the day!
