the octopus was incredible!
I’ve dove that bridge 100times. Gotta be in the water 15 minutes before slack, vis is usually 20-30’ and loads of tropicals around October.
Great video.
Awesome.
Cool video.
Sick eels!
Did not know about tropical strays! Very cool!
How do they get up here, and how come we don’t catch the big ones if they are born here
Tropical strays aren't born in the area, they are born in areas to the south, like off the Florida Coast and in the Caribbean. The young are caught up in the Gulf Stream, an ocean current after being born in the summer, which carries them north in the fall. Most die in the winter before growing to adult size, but a few, like the Snowy Grouper shown in the video, survive as big adults in deep undersea canyons off Montauk.
Goof stuff! Glad you had a successful trip.
