Thank you John! I just go by the darker colored spots and bands at the top by dorsal fins. It's not the definitive way of telling them apart but I've found that the Vermilions have lighter dark patterns versus the Sunsets. I was fishing a little over 300ft so it was more like to be Sunsets, even though Vermillion are caught as deep as 350ft (I think).

Balloon clean-up is a common kayak videoed occurrence on the East Coast also. One of the fringe benefits of fishing close to the water is easy garbage removal -- Bravo!
Cool to see the variety of Rockfish, Congrats on the Sunset! I would have mistaken it for a Vermillion, What is the key difference?
Liked and subscribed again with my other email. Thanks Quang.
