I was with a buddy and all we caught was a couple of rockfish, and the picture of mine was released because I'm still not that familiar with the colors of the restricted ones didn't feel like taking chances over a rockfish. Curious if anyone out there today got anything good, or see anyone on any fish? Don't know if theres such thing as too much bait out there

Has anyone definitely IDeed this fish yet? I'm still learning myself and would like to know. Look at the DFG chart that PBB posted, looks like this one might be a "Rosy"? I saw someone had mentioned a "Copper" but if this chart is correct, the color is off... the Copper looks more brown & white to me, not orange & white like this one. Can anyone confirm?

Thanks for your patience... still a lot to learn yet...

Yes, the fish in the OP is indeed a copper aka chucklehead. Not even close to being a rosy.
