Went the day before it closed for salmon. They weren't chewing the barbs off, but it was very good. 30-35# king brought in and released ( sniffle ), 2 other kings, nice silvers made the limits and a 20 minute fishing expedition on the Rockpile got us 4 lings in 5 drops. Biggest was betwixt 25 and 28 pounds. Smallest was 27 inches.....
I don't like killing lingcod needlessly, so we let the 4th one go ( about 18 pounds) and left just because we didn't want to damage any of them.
