Fish Identity

[Regor]

Most of my fishing has been on the East coast, lake fishing for pan fish (bass large and small mouth, bluegill, perch, trout, an occasional walleye).

My saltwater escapades so far have left me dumbfounded. My last trip out into the kelp beds @ LJ for some fun left me wondering what I had caught.

So after picking up the latest "Ca Ocean Sport fishing Regulations" from the DFG, I think I can finally say I caught 4 Sculpin, 2 Kelp bass, and what I believe was a young WSB. All fish were released, especially since I needed to study up on fish species and size limits.

I gotta say, I've got some learning ahead of me. The wide variety of saltwater fish has surprised me!
