Sounds like Stormin's boat and ours were in the same area. We had similar mark rates, and similar fish sizes, although we maybe had more small fish-- probably 20 fish to the boat.

At Sekui, we've never once had mark rate approaching 1:1 and so in late September to have 3:1 clipped to unclipped was surprising. It was nice to not have that "guilt" about how many wild fish might have been hurt, etc. I've been there before.

The other thing that was interesting is that our fish caught on bait were almost all hooked on the outside of the snout. We also didn't have difficulty releasing fish, which usually you have several that you think "that one won't live". Not Saturday-- maybe one fish had some trouble and that was it.

Wasn't that sunrise something?
