Very nice Striper! Bet that was fun! What did it weigh?
44", (My friend measured it when it was flopping on the deck so that could be off a little bit. Never weighed it, I would guess 25 lbs. A rockfish that long could weigh a lot more but it was fairly thin for a fish that long. Perhaps a male, the cows are often much wider in the body. If you look at the sze of the mouth compared to my hand you can imagine what a fish like that is capable of eating.
There has been quite a few fish caught lately up here in the 30-40 pound range. Unfortunately for me the marine forcast is not good for this weekend so I can only dream. Possibly a weather/tide window Sunday afternoon.
A family and a full time job has ruined many a good fisherman.
