I didn't have to show him much, haha. He smoked me on the rockfish count. Good job out there today. You will be cranking in trophy fish in no time (then you can teach me how to) I ended up with 4 hand size rockfish and a decent whitefish. Just a note on an observation from the day. We fished with 2 different squids from two different companies. One squid came from Walmart the other from San Pedro bait company. I've never know rf to be picky but they wouldn't touch the Walmart stuff today. I tried both brands and all fish were caught on the San Pedro bait. Just to add to and confirm wade's post from a few days ago. They really do have the freshest stuff around.

And Thanks Mako yer pretty cool too

Great pictures but I think that larger rock fish wasn't after your beer but the yellowtail on the label. At lest he has good taste. Ha Ha

Nice. What type of rockfish are those? They look similar to one of the types we catch in Japan.

Jealous, can't get Ballast Point on base over in Korea.
