Observation details

Made a surprise visit at north beach. Get the feeling the fishermen have been giving him handouts. He kept walking towards me as I attempted to photograph him, many times coming so close I couldn't fit him all in the frame despite the fact that I kept backing away. Serious red tide right now at FtD. Dead fish all over. Sure hope this guy doesn't get sick, as far as I know, this is the only known GBHExGREG hybrid.
