Kept a handful of albies, a couple of YFT, two tails from Clemente, one big WSB, and a few nicer butts. Released some tails (I had a slow year for forks!), all the bass, some legal butts, a couple of smaller albies, and everything else I was lucky enough to catch. Can say I had no freezerburn this year, but still kept myself, family and some friends stoked on fine meals.

Also kept a few albies, 2 yellowtail, 2 legal halibut, one legal WSB, 10 whitefish, a mantis shrimp and 4 smallish bonito which I found out are pretty good if you keep them out of the sun. I released many bass, albies and BIG spanish macks, short WSB and halibut(2 legals), a few rockfish, cabezon, whitefish,'cuda, bonito and macks not to mention the lizardfish and tomcod. Tommy

GOOD point about releasing bass.I wish more people would do the same.
Dig this- Seaforth landing ALONE kept almost 25,000 Calicos. With 22 major landings from Santa Barbara to Diego averaging about the same, that would be 550,000 Calicos. Then you add in the private boaters. Probably close to 3/4 of a million. WAY too many in IMO. They should lower the limit-period.

Bad news: This "meat fisherman" will ALWAYS have room for a couple or 3 of the smaller tasty calicos in his sack.
Good news: In a given year I probly don'r kill more than 4 or 5 of the critters, and more of us are aware of the need to send the bigger models back to that calico love shack to make more. :D And I have seen party boat deckhands make people aware of that, too.
Couldn't agree more on the max size & smaller bag limits, tho neither is usually an issue for me! :(
Tight lines, Fishslayer

3 bft 2 albies 1 yt 1 dodo
All bass, fresh and salt, released as well as 1 legal halibut, a fat sculpin and that is about it. I guess most of my time was spent bassing.
