YES they were humpbacks saw them too got a nice fat 20 lber today(hatchery) and let a wild one go, so thought id measure it up came in at exaclly 32.5 inches so with the regs next weekend would have been able to keep it if it was wild,,,,, so looked up on a conversion table
85 cm = 33.5 inches. How in the world they came up with that measurement baffles me??????
got that fish at 89 ft did see good bait and fish on the sounder and sounded like a few fish were caught saw maybe 10 boats for the day. was kinda nice....

Lots of talk of multiple fish days but almost no pictures. Maybe that's best anyways I'm already jealous not so much of the fish caught what makes me jealous is the number of times some of you guys get to fish sooke every week. Keep it up I'll be out there soon enough.
I was right beside him and watched him let it go....It was a brute...

I havent been camera happy these days. Just trying to get them back ASAP.
On a side note was out today 6am-10am Hit 6 springs and missed 2. One was high teens low 20's and the rest were 10 pound cookie cutters. 130' on the rigger. Whales moved in fish went deep.

Beauty flat calm day out there today so took a run out to Sheringham. Trolled for 3 and half hours with not a touch. Thought it was a skunking for sure. Then got two hits in 20 minutes. First was a tap-tap which yielded nothing but a chewed anchovy. Second was a real pin popper and after a short fight we managed to boat a very nice 17lb hatchery fish. Purple haze teaser head at 90 feet. Nothing more after that so quit at 1:30pm. About 4 other boats there but did not see other nets in the water.
