Offshore, Santa Cruz, California

After scattering ashes of a good friend, we came upon this very large sunfish at the surface. Our captain, who has been on many, many ocean trips, suggested that since it didn't dive after we got close, it may not have been healthy. Still, I like the look.

This species is one of the largest bony fish in the world. This individual was nearly 7 ft. (2+m) long and my photo shows about the front half.
