Microfished out of the edge of a still pool. Third photo is of fish underwater after release. Torrent Sculpin perhaps?

Caught a few rainbows on pretty much every cast before going to bed on the backpacking trip up Mt Whitney.

Noticed among the kelp and sea plants at -1.3 low tide at 5pm. very rocky area. Lots of plant life in area.

Encountered a single individual at 20 feet. Would hide in rocks periodically, but not overly-shy.

30ft depth, 64F, hiding in crevices or large rock formation in center of heisler park kelp forest. not too shy, allowed for close approach but always on the move

2 individuals

Abundant here near the rocks and around the dock.

Sampled via otter trawl.

I would've called this 𝘎𝘪𝘭𝘢 𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘳𝘢 but that seems to be inactive so maybe I'm out of date. Safely caught and Released
