Arklier,
I won't give out exact spots in Puget Sound on an open access board. All I will say that it is near Seattle.

To repeat myself, the only reason to have in place a barbless hook rule is for the benefit of salmon. Barbs have virtually no impact on rockfish or lingcod, especially lingcod. I was speaking to a charter who caught a ling off the coast that was living with one set of gills completely torn apart. Another example, one of the lings I caught Sunday I cut the gills to let it bleed out and left it without water. An hour later when I got home the fish was still alive. I found out when it bit me. (I was pretty ticked off, pried its mouth open to have blood streaming from my fingers).
