We ran out to do some bottom bouncing around the Norfolk Canyon yesterday. We stayed on the south side of the canyon and had the area to ourselves until the afternoon when were joined by a couple of other boats. Fishing was very good. We caught a limit of jumbo-sized black sea bass in short order. It was the best sea bass fishing of the year so far. The largest knot head weighed in at seven pounds. The blueline tilefish ran on the large side also. We caught them up to 18.5 pounds. Jorj Head caught both the largest blueline and sea bass. Sponge Bob Manus did his share of cranking large fish. He weighed in a 40 pound snowy grouper and our largest golden tilefish on the Healthy Grin so far. His golden weighed 50 pounds, 6 pounds heavier than the one we set the initial state record with. Now, it is just another really nice fish. We caught a total 5 golden tiles. We fished from 40 fathoms to 140 fathoms deep. Sea bass shallow, golden tiles deep, blueline tiles and the snowy grouper in between. We also caught some hake and bluefish. A good part of today was spent cleaning fish.

Man! thats fine work!

Whoa, those are some beefy tiles!!! Is there much difference, taste wise, between the golden and blueline tilefish. I haven't caught any golden tilefish. The blueline tilefish taste a bit like cobia to me.

heck of a day, nice job!

Damn nice work Ken!!! Awesome shots once again!!!

I'm probably not the best person to answer this. I'm not much of a fish eating expert. I still like sea bass as my favorite from out there. I think the goldens are more like grouper. We are having golden for dinner tonight.

Very Shweet indeed!

VERY NICE, thats a great day, that makes me jealous
