Crosshatch Trigger Caught in San Diego's Mission Bay.

[mic209]

Came across this video of a guy catching a Crosshatch Xanthichthys Mento in Southern California. Since what we see in the hobby typically comes from warm tropical waters, I figured this was one that was released and surviving some how in cold water or made it to California as a hitch hiker. But a google search shows they have a pretty wide range and Mexico and Southern California is part of that.

Can locals confirm that they are indeed caught around Southern California waters?

Skip to 10:40 if you don't want to watch the whole video.

Im close!
Anyone want one?
If I catch them, I will sell them for $300 shipped. Good deal ?

I will buy one, but since I will be there next week perhaps a price break for pick up?
