Congrats Ron! This beauty has earned you spotting of the day! The red Irish lord usually lives close to rocky shores but can survive at depths as low as 450 meters. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152604346385603&set=a.10152383557885603.943728.10150120463815603&type=1 https://twitter.com/projectnoah/status/308060330989334529
