Finally have some time to put this video today. It's a session from early August of last year.

Man those were some awesome rock fish. I always follow the Dolphin to see if they take me to bait or good marks on the FF. Thanks for sharing Quang.

AlwaysFishing, your video was great but I have a question and that is did you descend that last copper. Can't tell since your GoPro battery died. At the 8 minute mark you catch what looks like a red but hold up a copper. at the 16 minute mark you catch what looks like your biggest fish, another copper. what I want to know is which one you kept. Very nice catch.

Thanks Mark. They definitely know where the baits are and they are a joy to follow too.

Thank you!
At the 8 minute mark was a Copper. Pause the video at exactly 8:02 you can tell when I lift it on to my Solo. I kept all 10 Rockfish (6 Coppers and 4 Sunset) that day. This video was from 08/08/2021. I am playing catchup with my video posting.

What a fantastic day that was. Not many people get to see such things in their lifetime. Congrats!

Around what depth where those cods hanging out? Were they on the bottom or suspended? Thanks, David.

Thank you, David. It was around 300-350ft and they were all bottom.
