Esplanade again (Penang 3/5)

Having fished at night last time, I wanted to see what was swimming around in the daylight hours, so I got up really early and headed to the war memorial again to fish.

This entry is going to be quite short because I didn't end up catching any new species. I did get a new species for the trip which was the White-spotted Rabbitfish, but I had caught one of those last year in Hong Kong. The problem was, I didn't learn for last time I had caught these, even remembering how painful their venom is, and got myself stung again, with a nice set of puncture marks on my palm near the base of my thumb. It was even worse this time as the spines went in a lot more than last time, my hand was swollen and purple for a few days after this!

Again a caught a few more puffers and tripod fish, but nothing to brag about.
