45 minute soaks with fishing in between. macs as bait. fished wilmington harbor.

total count
--24 legal bugs (top 4 were 6, 7, 10, 13lbs... most released because they had spermy sacks on them.. and we tossed back the big 4 to continue breeding)
--50 legal rock crabs (tossed them all back)
--10 sculpin to 14"
--10 calicos to 16"
--8 sandbass to 15"
--1 fish that looked like a largemouth bass (had a large mouth too.. no pix kuz it was small)
--10 mystery rockfish to 16" (big fat dark looking thing in pic.) fish ID please.

thanks for the replies and the fish id! i was thinking it was a grass rockfish except the big guy was really dark colored. (we caught a bunch of smaller ones that were clearly grass rf)

we released every fish safely, and out of the 24 legal bugs, we only kept 6 total. it was just fun pulling on nets filled with life, and most females had those sacks on them which is a really good thing to see.
