My old man always told me.......

the balls are actually not in any chemical just a plastic bag.  I could mix up a chemical beer batter. or maybe a nice dry rub.  Dont dry rub and balls go together??

Congrat on the successful UW hunt.  Thanks for the report and pictures Darrel.

Ballchinian!

That's one of the best writeups in awhile, and some nice fish, Thanks for the report and laughs....

So awesome. Gotta save up for a gun now I guess. Looks like the pole spear days are coming to an end.  Good job out there guys. Rick, that cabbie is a BEAST! See ya in May! Two weeks to go!

Some pics (I have some underwater ones too, but those are gonna take longer to get on my computer):

The big cab was 21", and I estimated it to be at least 5-6 pounds.

The smaller cab was 18" and fat as well.

I shot a few other various fish, including two greenlings at 16-17", and a few kelpies. Saw a lot of fish out there, too, with the 10 foot vis. Saw a good number of other quality fish that I didn't shoot at, too, including a good sized MFE, 4 foot leopard shark, and other various rockfish.

After filleting the cabs, I was eager to dissect the stomachs and see what they had been eating. The smaller one had the remnants of small crabs, while the large one had a few partially digested crabs, as well a small octopus.

rick, i still cant believe the size of that cab.  Any more weight to that and it might have taken you for a ride.  nice job buddy.  sky is the limit for you now

Thanks for the report Hotplate, I appreciate the good entertainment that you always provide in your reports
