I was onec told that you can use game fish for bait (in the ocean). The only thing you have to worry about is:

(1) Make sure you only have your daily bag limit in your baitwell.
(2) Make sure they are the legal size if it applies.

I could be wrong but game fish are used everywhere as bait. For example the use of tuna and wahoo pices for chunk fishing. Tomcod are often found mixed in at the bait receivers even though there is a baily bag limit. Salmon is used as Halibut bait in Alaska. When rockcod and lings were legal people often use rockcod, whole or stips, for bait. The list goes on....

If someonw out there knows the skinny on this topic, please let us know.
