NPH 4/18

Met up with User45 and Primosurf. Was on water by 7, hit the bait barge for a bit... Lots of bait but nothing hitting. Went out rock fishing. Concentrated around 185'. There were 6+ of us out there fishing from yaks. It was slow for all of us. Did manage one nice red. Also landed a fish I have no idea what it was. Looked like maybe a bass but smaller mouth and had a number of funky jagged lateral lines. Wasn't 14 so I tossed back... Didn't want to chance it if it was a hybrid. Good talking to Primo and 45... quality guys. No one got skunked but no one killed it either. The three of us were back in by 11am.

Wasn't a web caught plenty out young ones these were jagged vertical lines. if it were not for the smaller mouth I would have said bass for sure, like a small mouth bass. Wiz I hap a pic :confused:

It was really nice meeting you Caddisx! See you again out in the water soon!:cheers1:

[caddisx]

Not a kelpfish. It was lighter with these kind of lateral lines... Nothing vertical. I have looked at my book and pics and can't find anything like it. :confused:

Did it look like this? I'm trying to figure out what could have been that deep that looked like a bass. http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/ee392/williamnovotny/olivrockkira.jpg (http://s1225.photobucket.com/user/williamnovotny/media/olivrockkira.jpg.html)
