And you're allowed to go harvest them with your hands.

You can't use like tools.

And that was happening in June.

So I was like, okay, I'm going to bank on the grunion run for my fat.

species is this to say let me go on and flop around so people can take me eat me life is too hard I think it's one of those where like there's just so many it doesn't matter kind of approaches you know yeah because there's like tens of thousands of them and do they flop around only because when the tide pulls out or they just purposely do this

I think it's the full moons or something like that.

You get a strong tide.

They beach.

Yeah.

Okay.

Well, what happens is the females come up and like dig a hole and like lay their eggs in it.

And then the males come up and drop their sperm on the hole.

I scooped them up.

So yeah, I mean a huge, a huge part of my meals that month were what I called grunion potato pancakes where I like mash the potatoes and put them in a pan and like put the fish in that and then just ate that.

And that's pretty much what I ate the whole month.

I ended up losing 13 pounds in 30 days and nine and nine of the pounds.

This is the part that made me so mad.

Nine of the pounds were muscle.

I just ate my muscle away.

Yeah.
