So what were they, grunion? We have "grunion runs" (google it) in Southern California where the grunion jump out of the sea at high tide certain nights that can be forecasted long in advance and lay their eggs in the sand and then try to get back into the water.
I'm not sure, I'm guessing maybe Smelt?? Do smelt jump out of the water like this?? I'm guessing not grunion though (I'm originally from San Diego and am quite familiar with grunion runs... Good times!) :) They weren't coming up on shore, just hopping out of the water. Pretty funny to watch.
That is so amazing! And what an amazing story. The experience alone had to be worth it. I love how you can see the reflection of the fish in the water.
