Caught a 5' Angel Shark in the SD Bay before.

Those things are not huge fighters, but they have a bunch of sharp little teeth with some serious attitude.

I caught a Midshipman next to Spanish Landing. Ugly and blobby things.

Whoa! Never seen one of those. Gnarly. I nearly kissed an eel on the mouth while lobster diving last fall. Nice reminder about where you stick your nose when searching for things.

The Midshipman looks like deep water fish. They have bioluminescent dots on their sides and are really squishy.

angel shark

I saw one while freediving a while back near the Cove at La Jolla. He was hanging around on the bottom. Didn't know about the teeth. I'll avoid

Oh Yeah... they're ornery. Look on Youtube, these things will actually come and attack you, even if you're not food.

I'm not sure if this can happen if they're under water, but when I brought mine up, it was making chomping noises when its teeth came together - had a helluva time removing the hook because it just was not cooperative. I had serious thoughts about cutting the line and letting it keep my lead-head, but that might have hurt it.

Chomping? I can see the temptation to tempt fate and let him have your lure. Jeez. . .
