Thank you for your concern, but in the ocean (areas 1-4) you are allowed 10 Seabass a day per person. I keep up on the regs and know a lot of the people who help make the regs, and was not breaking any laws. The fish you are talking about are Yelloweye, canary rockfish and several others, but mainly these two. None of these fish were caught in area 5 (Sekiu). I frequently fish Neah Bay and we send everybody home with fish. As there were 6 of us on the boat. We did not even come close to taking 60 fish. In fact, catch and release is getting easier because you can only eat so many fish. When blackmouthing we sometimes ask people ahead of time if they want fish that night. If we don't feel like cooking, we release the fish without touching it. Frozen salmon is just not the same as fresh. Thanks for pointing this out as someone at Sekiu might think you can take as many fish as you want, not the case. In my book Seabass are just as good as halibut. I don't know if you know this but Seabass are not as slow growing as all off the other rockfish. That is why there are so many of them.
