Last run of the year for those tasty rock critters
All I can say is we were beat having covered over 8 miles today and cranking fish from the deep on heavy rods and heavy jigs. Oh, and the traffic we had going home was less than pleasant to say in the least. Hope to do it again! Enjoy the short video I made ![]() ![]() Took some fish home for a few meals and released everything that could not swim back down with a descending tool. ![]() Orca's giant Chucklehead. This thing was 6-7lbs est. 20"+ fish. We tried sending it back down, but I didn't have enough lead to do the job. ![]() ![]() Damn thing barely fit in my "high tech" livewell. ![]() World's smallest whitefish Last edited by King Saba; 12-10-2016 at 12:28 PM. |

That was a great time. I'm going to have to devise a deepwater release rig with a 1lb weight. Lol, the hellish 3+ hour commute home was made somewhat bearable because I got to listen to some of my backlog of podcasts. I would have had a shorter commute time if I had joined Harry Hill and drove the longer distance down to SD.

Release tool
Here is a very simple rockfish release tool.
The bigger crate on the right is used on my skiff and the smaller basket is used from my PA. I put about 50' of rope on the basket and that gets it down past the first atmosphere and the fish can revive. I like this method because it's so much easier than having to handle and hook the fish on a descending device, plus I can drop two small fish at a time, or more than two on the skiff with the crate if a few guys are fishing. Get those yummy fish tacos while you can...! ![]() ![]()

Any day on the water is a great day. Macs on ul setups are great fun and the occasional bonehead makes it even more fun.
