Minijacks were encountered. I was using 2.25 candle fish jigs dropping to bottom 135ft and drifting with the flow. Backed the boat with the kicker to provide a vertical presentation. All fish were hooked in the jaws and the barbless hook was removed below the surface.

I'm okay giving WDFW the information. The increased hatchery minijacks are an indicator of year class survival.
