Checks out on the descriptors.

From https://mexican-marine-life.org/pinto-spiny-lobster/ , it seems they are waaaay out of their way up here.

The Pinto Spiny Lobster is found in all Mexican waters of the Pacific Ocean with the exception that they are absent from north of Magdalena Bay, Baja California Sur, along the central and northwest coasts of the Baja Peninsula, south of the Gulf of Tehuantepec, Oaxaca, and north of Bahía de los Ángeles, Baja California in the Gulf of California. They are the  most common species of spiny lobster in the Gulf of California. In the early 1960's two individuals were captured as far north as San Diego, California.

Wild that there's a sudden influx of them for the first time in perhaps 60 years. Hope you get one. Would you be allowed to keep it? Could be sketchy but I would guess DFW would be perplexed to see it and at least be forgiving if they checked you.

When I was in Rancho Leonero, I think they called them Pinto Spiny Lobsters.  The two I remember looking weird was that and a Green one... but I'm pretty sure this is a Pinto.

Yeah, the Jackhammer Mafia Quartet was keeping the rhythm interesting, the earplugs kept it tolerable but I'm still glad I'm good for another year ;)

Not a bad day, except for the slap in the face  ;D 

Kinda nice to be on the water mid week instead of a weekend  8)

Mr. Warden looks like he's on a Mission !

What's the scientific name? Curious about its distribution and all that, but nothing is coming up on the search.

I will be going to the OC one. Trying to fit in a lot of SNBF fishing but I may end up at the show around high noon. Or Sunday.

Looks like a fun day on the water!

When they lit the busses in Puerto Vallarta on fire, you could see a similar black smoke plume. I saw an aerial shot over there that was probably pin high with where I stayed a few years ago and the several plumes were pretty ominous. Hopefully things settle soon.
