Great patch, Ken. As a fisher at Belmont pier in my youth, I'm intrigued by the fish pictured. Any I.D.? My guess is that it's some sort of mutated pupfish. Just an educated guess since pupfish are the only species that can blink. The one on the patch is a whopper; it tore out a honkin' chunk of railing, as we old timers used to say.

Vid showing a pupfish blinking, brought to you by the fine folks at Penn State. Lest you think they're all slide-rules and starched collars, check out their blinking pupfish department. Don't let anyone tell you these folks don't know how to have a good time.
