Sonoma Coast 10/19/14

Well Sunday was a great day to be on the water. The west swell was up, making the launch on the Sonoma Coast a little more fun. Started out by trolling for Salmon but quickly became frustrated with the Black Rockfish stealing all my bait. The groundfish bite was slow at first but picked up around 11:30 when the ocean and wind laid down. Caught a bunch of Lingcod (most released) kept a 27"er and a 25"er that was gill hooked. Also kept a few Blacks for the fryer and a fat Cabby that measured 21.5 inches, BK (Before Kiet) that was a good sized Cabezon.

NICE!!

BK! 

Yeah...I will never be able to look at a cabezon the same way!

You ruined us all Kiet!!

 

Congrats on getting out there Ruben!!

 

Sincerely,

Jim

BK  Glad you got out and got some fish Ruben!!! 

BK now that's funny Ruban : :. C'mon Jim that Cab of mine has lots of big siblings for you to shoot.  :smut044

Nice stringer you got there Ruben.

Nice haul.  Thanks for the report and picture Ruben.

Kiet's cab was actually a toothless blue lingcod - I have the original pics...   

Nice going, Ruben.  That hotrod of a kayak always looks good in a pic - all the better with a nice stringer.   

Glad to see you get some time on the big blue, nice stringer. Every time I see your Pro Fisha  the envy I wants one comes over me  .  I think Eric is correct about the "toothless ling cod"after all he is a professional guide .  BK....gotta love it 

Hell yeah Ruben. Nice stringer and thanks for the report and pics.

Nice stringer Ruben! like always fish always look bigger when you hold them

Fresh fish Yummy!
