Here, here, Cadillyak. But, I think most kayak fishermen/women, or non-kayak people would say, don't sink a gaff into a fish if you have doubts as to whether it's rather close to being legal. As in, you should truly believe it is 25 inches or greater. 23" is too close for such a valuable resource. No worries, but keep it in mind, that 22.5, 23, or even a 24 incher, you DON'T stick the gaff in, as it will be 8lbs the next time you catch it. Besides, and ESPECIALLY, when fishing for 'buts, you are supposed to have a net. Actually, at all times, you are, but, the DFG will probably cut you some slack in open waters, like La Jolla. Food for thought. Tight lines, and go catch some more. We'll probably see you off of L.J. someday.
