Yes. Common use for greenling is to send 'em back down to try for a big ling. They do count against your limit of 10 no matter if you eat them or use them as bait. .

i thought so.
a nieghbor of mine said i could not.
jut wanted to be sure.

They need to be of legal size so greenling at 12", but rockfish of any size is legal.

I talked to a game warden about that last week about that like the others said...
*must be of legal size, if it Has a size limit-greenling 12 in
* must count toward bag limit
*no talapia
*cannot catch with more than  a 2 hook set  up

If I  am mistaken on any of these , someone please correct me
