One of my main goals on this trip was to find and photograph a male yellow-headed jawfish holding eggs in it's mouth. Silly, I know, but it's been a challenge I've been working on for many years... they're surprisingly hard to find with eggs in their mouths! I have my 14 year old daughter to thank for finding me this little guy holding a mouthful of yellow eggs in the shallows at "Something Special" I went back to check two days later to see if the eggs and developed any farther, and the little guys hole was dug up... probably by a ray. I'm hoping he escaped with his mouthful of eggs, but I guess I'll never really be sure.
