16th annual? Seems like it might have been going on for a lot longer than that.

[gscottmagnus]

@gadadhoon a) This video is four years old; b) Doheny Beach holds an organized event on specific grunion runs and it was the 16th anniversary of the first one; c) yes, grunion have been coming to the beach much, much longer than that...

Are you allowed to catch them and fry them like the guy said at the end?

[gscottmagnus]

@rakxzo When they are in season, which is March, June, July and August. And you must catch them by hand. You may also may need a fishing license.

[gadadhoon]

@gscottmagnus I figured it was something like that, it just sounded funny out of context.

@rakxzo Also you can only catch them on the way back in the water
