Nice work Tommy....we fished two trips Saturday and one Sunday. Struggled Sunday. A lot of run offs but the fish never came tight. The spot we are catching are awful big for 20-24" fish. I just don't think they are getting them far enough down their neck to hook up consistently no matter how long we let them run.

The Captain I work for hates treble hooks but I snuck some small #4s onboard Sunday in hopes of overcoming the large spot - smallish rockfish problem. Murphy's Law struck...within a hour a customer had one in his leg and the treble hooks went over the side!

Fortunately, I'm well versed in the ER procedure of getting a hooks out using a length of 80lbs mono.

We ended up trolling on the Western side to get the rest of our fish.
