Do know that you'd be breaking the law Darius.  So unless you want to be featured on Wild Justice, I suggest you don't.

That said, it is very hard to believe that the "lowly" gopher is more highly sought after than the "almighty" lingcod.

I used to go to that market a lot. Depressing as hell, Rockfish, Cabezon and Lings all covered in mould and/or half dead. Not a good advert for the live-fish industry.

Darius, apply for a commie license.  You might be the first one doing it from a kayak.  That much for a live fish might make it a nice sideline business.

Come on Michael, you should know better :smt002, I was just kidding in the selling part, I was just stunned when I saw the price, oh and yes you should have seen the live China..they go for $15.99...

D, I so believe this one.  TigerHung/ Phillip who happens to live in SF tells me the same and I was confused as to how lingcod were "belittled", then a co-worker of mine said that they (gophers) are worth more alive.  The thought flashed in my mind for a bit.. but I'm just too lazy going through the business/ licensing thingamaboobers  :smt005.... although I could play as Tito if you decide to head that way  :smt044
I don't intend on winning any tourney's, I intend on fishing with the brother's OTW and having a good time while at it... NCKA!

Some of the gophers we bring home are still alive even after being bonked, on a game clip, on ice for two to four hours, and one fillet already taken off!
Live your life, the way you want to be remembered. Don't have any regrets, we only get this one dance to make it count. Start at your eulogy, and work backwards.
