My buddy Chris was the guy catching all the sixgill at alki quite a few years back. Always in.close to the pier....and he landed 18 during one summer. Back then you could keep them...in fact he is the reason you can not keep them now. He also offered to tag and release them but wdfw turned him down.

Sense then I haven't seen anyone targeting them off that pier. But I still do a couple times every summer.
