I've only gaffed 1 fish in my life. That was this year's 23lb YT. Last year I caught a BSB
around 75lbs. I knew what it was right away. Reading these boards really helps.

Ditto that! I am a Noob to this as well, listening to these boards, talking with others while on the water, getting in time on the yak, and just a touch of common sense, has gone a long long way to make me a more respectful and knowledgeable fisherman. Thanks to all who contribute to my education!

Another Plasticman Submission

Rockfish, I believe...Can someone tell me what kind? I caught 3 of these this morning.
Each was between 10 and 12 inches.

Rockfish - Black over Pink - 10.75" - La Jolla

Looks like a Red Vermillion to me, unless it has a bunch of white spots also that I can't see.

Not sure if they're spots. Here's a pict of another, but it looks the same

Possibly copper rockfish or starry.......I can't tell the difference most of the time........nice fish either way

The little white spots would make it a starry.
