Tigers off Sonoma

Definitely a cool looking fish. It's like a norteno treefish. I always wanted to see one in person. Thanks for the pic and Thanks for releasing it too. That was certainly a very old fish. According to fishbase they are "solitary and territorial, defending a home crevice among rocks" so you did the right thing by releasing it.

Beautiful fish! ...

Beautiful fish and major props for releasing it!

This act deserves HERO STATUS!  thanks for the education too!

Great lookin catch!

I made sure to bring her back down to depth safe and sound.

How did you release her at depth?

Thanks for the pics!

Well done on the release.  How did you descend the fish?

Don't see many of those north of the gate.

Someday when the Enviro-nuts try to close off an area or ten because of the negative impact "those nasty kayak fishermen have," we will need positive examples like this to prove that we care.

Septuagenarian stew.
Pretty cool fish.

These are many examples of how to release at depth and why you should do it
