That's Mighty Wighty thoughtful of you  . . . . but I'll settle for a few of your apples . . . .
                                                                               

Yes Ron . . .many fish 13"-15" . . . . caught over 40 that I had to throw back . . . great fun tho . . . . the good thing is Blackies are always hooked in the lips or front roof of its mouth, so they swim away unharmed (except for seeing my ugly gub for a few minutes of its life!)

     I caught 39 total blackfish today ( didn’t count any under about 10 “ or so) including these 3 keepers that were all 18” . . .

Got crabs???

Gunner is correct . . . tautog is "good eats" and I try not to freeze it if possible, . . .as fresh is best!

  I also bring the fish in to the CIA for my students to practice filleting and have a class tasting (Many have never had it) . . . . . . . . the rest usually goes to my fellow chef- instructor friends for dinner.
Creel limits are abided by . . . .

Congrats on all those togs Ziffy! You sure put together a lot of limit days. I struggled with shorts in October but had some good trips in the western sound on a friend's boat recently.
