We use to see this a lot on the beaches around Punta Chivato when the shrimpers where in. I think they have pretty much totaled the area so not as
many as in the past. Many times when this happened the small smooth puffers would wash in with them. Those small ones are extremely poisonous and will
kill any dog the munches on them. Please notify pet owners of this. We don't know of anything that will save a dog from this poison.Iflyfish - 4-4-2007 at 07:48 AM
I am sure that the Japenese make some sort of killer soup out of these. I am surprised you have not put them on the menue.

Yes they atre right out there and have been for weeks. I just love draggers. They f_ck up the waters for eons depending on local. Go back to Guaymas.

Gad those guys are odd looking. They possess some not-so-fishy looks. Great shot. Love the lips. They have incredibly strong jaws. Strange to see them
all times of the year on shores around BOC. They fall prey to a host of problems. Weather takes out many. Draggers surely do damage. It just seems
wierd that these poor guys end up as smiling stiffs much more than any other fish. Or maybe that because they are horny, it keeps them intact and
uneaten and they end up on shore. Hmmmm??Bob and Susan - 4-5-2007 at 06:51 AM
botete...they taste GREAT!!!
i think playing "russian roulett" once is enough
last year a family with a refer truck fished the bay ONLY for puffer...
they fileted them and shipped them to la paz destined for the orient
they are a special treat over thereCrusoe - 4-5-2007 at 06:57 AM
Just Think.......A half o dozen stratigicaly placed mega desalinisation plants will take care of those ugly poiseness little buggers...... and may
well end the draggers party also!!!!!!!!marv sherrill - 4-5-2007 at 04:17 PM
The Japanese love pufferfish - called fugu -$500 a plate - it contains tetradodoxin - the most potent chemical produced by an animal known to cause
death - 4 minutes or less - resturants post a favorite poem - loosly translated (not a haiku) "Those who eat fugu are stupid, but those who do not eat
fugu are also stupid" - I'll stick to yellowtail..
Dangerous Horny boneheads invade Mulege?

Wow, they need to drink more water while they're boozin' it up. They look rather dehydrated.Sharksbaja - 4-6-2007 at 10:54 AM
No kidding, have you ever hooked up with one. Horny!Ken Bondy - 4-6-2007 at 10:58 AM
Sharks the porcupinefish can take off your finger. It has happened on more than one occasion. The famous Japanese "fugu" or puffer fish is a
different species, brownish gray without spines. ++Ken++Sharksbaja - 4-6-2007 at 11:16 AM

Yea I know. They have the same type of jaws of a ray but only harder(bones instead of cartlage) They can crush hard shelled creatures with ease. I've
had many hooks mashed and bent by these little buggers.
Are those smooth pufferfish in the Cortes akin to Fugu Ken?
I mean fugu, Ken. Ken Bondy - 4-6-2007 at 02:46 PM
That's funny. I have been occasionally called Fugu Ken (and rarely a Horny Bonehead), but those are not scientific id's . Yes, the smooth pufferfish in the Sea of Cortez is the infamous fugu.
