Total for the day - 5 lings (2 kept), 5 Reds, Copper rockfish and uncounted blues and gophers. Awesome day of fishing - with lots and lots of fish tacos in my future. Already looking forward to next year.

I believe the limit for Lingcod in California is only one per angler now. I could be wrong but the DFG reg changed this year and the tournament guys should have known that.

Yup - the one thing I do every year before this tournament is double check all size and possession limits for every possible fish I might catch. I have it all laminated with photo ID of all the rockfish species - because I only fish for rockfish once a year and don't recognize what half of them are by sight.
50% of the time, there are DFG officers and biology volunteers sitting at Leffingwell when we get back wanting to see and measure.
This dude is not going to be getting any expensive tickets for stupid stuff...
