Nice catch!

Contact dermatitis from urushoil (the substance in poison oak/ivy and apparently mango) is no joke. I absolutely feel your pain, man. Glad to hear that you're finally getting better. Best part of all? Your sensitivity to urishoil will increase the more you are exposed to it.
Next time, as soon as you begin to have a reaction, go to the dermatologist and have him prescribe you a topical steroid. Once the reaction is going full force, topical stuff is worthless, but if you can get it on there as soon as the rash begins to rise and keep applying it twice a day after that, you can knock it back and reduce the severity and duration significantly. I just got over a case of poison oak all down the middle of my back (a PO branch must have slipped down my shirt while I was crawling through thick brush while mushroom hunting) and the topical steroid shortened the misery from a 3 week ordeal to less than 10 days (I only have a tiny bit of residual itchiness now).
This is all assuming that the contact dermatitis from mango is similar to PO (they're both urushoil, so I would think so).
I've read that ingesting small amounts of poison oak buds can help build up a resistance. The Chumash and probably other aboriginal tribes suffered no effects from the poison oak.

Have you noticed a decline Mike? Many times there is an exaggeration on the part of the fishermen. I have only heard that the numbers have rebounded since the ban of inshore gill netting.
What say you???
I think any gain from the gill net ban has been erased by technological advantages. Internet, GPS etc...

Interesting observation from an angling club...

Thanks for posting the vid Dan. I will give these a second chance if I ever rig a gun inline. I usually go break away to a floatline due to the size of our fish. I prefer the tuna clips over the swivels. I have only had one snap swivel open up on me and it was a small 45lb'ish white sea bass.

35ft of water. Possibly feeding on anthropods?

Pigtails are a PITA when your hands are numb from hours in 58degree water.

LADVR and north Koreans are crying over Kim Jung il. Earth goes through cycles and there will be a day when lobster are "plentiful" like they were(dependending on what you are comparing it to).
You are correct in that the Oceans are a very dynamic system. There are larval dispersion models for lobster that theorize Southern Californias bugs get replenished from central Baja bugs and the recruitment is higher during El Nino events.

Long ago, lobsters were so plentiful that Native Americans used them to fertilize their fields and to bait their hooks for fishing. In colonial times, lobsters were considered "poverty food." They were harvested from tidal pools and served to children, to prisoners, and to indentured servants, who exchanged their passage to America for seven years of service to their sponsors. In Massachusetts, some of the servants finally rebelled. They had it put into their contracts that they would not be forced to eat lobster more than three times a week.

Maybe carp will be considered a delicacy sometime in the future??

Must be global warming. Where's Al Gore when you need him.

You guys should go rouge like the boys in Delta House. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor??

Very cool animals. Not sure I would want to be the first freediver they encounter.

Not one of my videos but thought it was worth sharing. Video captured 12/10/2011.
