Winter time and very clear water and he got a pass that day. I wasn’t cold for a while after that. Hope you get him out of the rocks.
He was so camouflaged the white inside his mouth was all I saw . These little fish that range from 3-7” usually are very good at ambushing a thing that gets close to their crevice they live in . Beautiful out of the water but blend in with nature underwater unless they move.
