I was confused when it surface since I never saw one before. The mate didn't know what is was as well. The fish was walked around until it was identified (I mean can I eat it and does it taste good?). The fillet looks great white like cod but a lot firmer, looking forward for it to be served for dinner.

That was disgusting and not excusable. I have been on trips and gotten sick and don't feel embarrassed hurling over the side (downwind) and fishing right through it. I call it self-chumming....

How is it possible that someone on a trip like this has not learned this basic rule of fishing etiquette?

at the very least ask for the boats running hose to clean your own barf

I've seen cusk, wolfies, haddock, etc. down this way, not that many and usually smaller specimens. Heck they netted up a halibut in the Mud Hole a year or so ago.
