What I had always heard was that they spawned in Agate Pass and that it was the largest run in the world. Then they allowed the commercials to net Agate Pass during the spawn and wipe them out.

Hake are night feeders. Used to be mooching for kings you had to thin out the true cod to get to the kings and in the evening you fished until you caught a hake. Hake will destroy leaders and once you catch one all you are going to catch is more hake.
