Your mystery fish is a Rubber Lip Perch.

Guess I shouldnt have gotten so lazy and gone out - had the kayak on the truck & everything....

The red are tender and delicious .

The Rubber Lip Perch is not as tender.
Got to use dental floss yesterday after I ate one...

excellent job on the rockfish...fish tacos are on the way soon...

Yo Jeff, I went out there. Found one rock pile and dragged in some good reds and a tree fish.

Yet to get a FF, I found the rock pile by throwing a jig, and getting stuck. So I figured, I'll drop some squid down on top. Next 4 drops, I had 4 fish.

Sadly it was all I caught yesterday, but at least I was able to get out there.

I'll second that. Nice haul of good eating fish, nothing wrong with that. I'm guessing you experienced that over-anxiety of seeing something awesome (school of yellows), and lost a little composure. All ye that love fishing have been there. Anyhow, an excellent day, I'd say.

Nice catch there, definitely good eats. Were you out at mission bay on Friday?

JeffB · 04-10-2012, 02:54 PM

Good eats for sure! Some of the REDS are being transformed into a spicy Thai dish wife's gf is cooking.

Yes I usually clean all my fish on the back of my truck. I live in a condo right across the street from the Shores, so it's the easiest thing for me to do. Big thanks to ReelAnxious for setting up a cleaning station for me at his house!

Yes I was in the bay Friday. I was doing one last pre fish for the Tourny. Caught 7 legals that day, one about 2lb and another about 2 1/2lb. Unfortunately I was only able to snatch one legal up Sat. I caught a ton of short Sandbass and calico though with about a 40lb sting ray, which I just knew was going to be a big halibut. I was able to get it on the GoPro

I'm pretty sure your mystery fish is a rubberlipped perch. I hope I don't sound like an ahole, but you neeed to get that line/knot issue fixed like right now. 3 irons on the bottom when YT are right next to you, not right. Mike
