Thanks for the clarifying details both of you..

I'd like to know exactly where the "31,836 retained" number came from. How much of that is an estimate versus actual data? Is it 100% comparable to all past years data, or does it have some change from past years, like the electronic catch data coming into it? That's the first thing to figure...

Neurons are dramatically over-valued. Just look at how many people succeed so well with so few!

My boss would like to install Flock camera systems at high risk beaches to identify malingerers and shirkers who should be at work. HR is telling us that AI models will be trained using casting stroke and distance metrics for long distance identification and violations will definitely be...

Yes.

The only important question is how many you watched your son catch..

For true apples to apples relative comparisons of el nino strength across years, the climate change corrected data set should be used for the above figure.. I don't think the above is corrected data. it takes about half a degree off the red line above to really better compare temperature trends...

One of the best fisheries in the country..

Same for me and my family. My kids like the tuna sandwiches, they are fast and easy and good lunches and dinners when we get home. Good protein for an after gym snack too. Unlike most, I trim carefully and thoroughly before either freezing or canning. Simply because the bloodline and any...

Adding to Jasmillo's trip report, we got to see at least two tuna partially or completely jump out of the water chasing our anchovy near the boat. Very nice. Maybe because there was some windswell chop, they would sometimes end up out of the water when a wave trough ended up near the bait? Not...

Yep. No doubt. Tonight, I got 8 half pint jars from a single loin, with some left over, so it's possible one fish filled my 32 jars in my two canners? I had a loin that was too big to grab with one hand, needed both hands in the bag to grasp and drag out of the loin bag. Maybe that was...

I am working to retrieve more like Nick does, which may help, though I don't get a ton of chances to watch him closely, he usually waits awhile to start fishing. I am still collecting data, can't really say yet until I try some more different things. I do use a reasonably different retrieve...

If you are in Western WA, I have a couple cases of 16 gauge ammo for the range and a few hunting loads that needs a home. I pretty much stopped going 10 years ago.

I just lick my hands after handling the fish. It's enough.

With 33,000 species of fish, we don't actually have any actual design problems, those are all covered, but we do have substantial maintenance issues. -a fish janitor.
