Fishing Forum

I know that there are tons of fish in Cali to be caught. It would be nice to see some of the pics of what everyone is catching.

I have a small collection of species that I have caught so far for this years contest. By no means are any of them enormous or world records but the variety is what I enjoy the most.

What's up on your dock, boat, pier, jetty, beach?? Here are a few of mine. Small and large alike.

Hey there TubeN2,

How about your Garabaldi? If the camera was ready and a snap taken while you were getting him or her off the hook and another snap at the moment of release, I see no foul or that anybody could say anything.

After all .... as you don't target them, there should be no harm or foul taking a pic of the release. No, shouldn't er ..... can't count in the contest but as a record of California fish species caught ......

I see short, out of slot, and out of season species in pictures every day!

I need a chance to get to the CAT to get one of those. There are about 23 other species there that aren't posted here yet. All in good time.

I did post a Garibaldi in last years contest. The ones posted in this thread are only the ones that I have caught for this years contest.

When I explain the contest to others, I let them know that you don't have to keep the fish to get the points.[cool]
