They can be extremely shy!

You're obviously mistaking this specimen with something else. She's never shy.

Yes, definitely not shy. Just so you know Ceph, that's our very own SD founder/lost her Wreck Wench during her visit to the PNW. Uncomfirmed reports that alcohol has the opposite effect on her. She's from Texas, remember.

WELLLL...kick my horse, and call me "Bubba"!

She dosen't look a wreck! Where in Texas is "PNW" located anyway? Is it near Gunbarrell City???

It appears to be pronounced "Pun-Wa". I believe this to be an Apachie term, which loosely translates to mean: "Let's chicken-fry some Pacific Lump Suckers tonight."

"Ceph"

PNW - Pacific NorthWest, which includes Oregon, Washington, Idaho, BC. In this case it was Washington State during the annual treasure hunt. C'mon up, the diving's great!

It's illegal to spear them, If you want one to keep, might try a "Slurpgun".

"Ceph"

Spearing is ok, but only if they are a mature adult. Most hunters prefer "catch and release" over keeping them.
