HA! In the good old days you would have gone out Togging three times and limited out four times. That's how good it was. LOL

glad you had a great year. lots of guys i talked to on the boats didn't do as well..Blackfish populations are down 40% from what they were.. There are dozens of population studies.. If you can't find them I would be happy to provide links... They are under high pressure compared to what they were under historically.... bob

They are, thats the problem.. Years ago, no one wanted them, and the headboats that sailed for them had 10 maybe 15 guys, and the whiting boats were railed day and night... Times have changed
