John Kuhlman put the hook in a 38 pound salmon today. He seems kind of happy about it.

Also happy was the crew of the Predator who landed several halibut today, including this 28 pounder. They were trolling Ten Mile, "all by ourselves".

This green cabezon weighed 14 pounds. That's 7 pounds of head! I kid, but it's not coincidence that cabeza means head in spanish. Supposedly the green color in the flesh of many cabezons and ling cod comes from eating lots of shrimp, so go easy on the endless shrimp platter at Red Lobster.

I'm not sure if this is a big vermillion or small model holding it, or both. Probably both. A lot of rockfish came in today but so did quite a few salmon, especially from the Tomales Point to McClure's Beach area. Halibut sounded like they were mostly caught on the south end of  Ten Mile but not everyone was talking.
