Cabazon is only regulated by size in WA. (I think).....
30 year fishing the sound for halibut and ling and never accidentally hooked one.
They hang out on the top on the shelf, ling and rocks hang on the face.

This is what they look like.

Looks sorta lingcod-ish. But smaller mouth and head. Never seen one personally. Good job.


GUK.....it's the sound they make when they hit the end of the cable

Cool fish. That’s why I like fishing salt water. Never know what you got. In Missouri I can tell what I got by the way they fight. Plus in my opinion salt water fish fight harder than freshwater fish. Most likely a survivor thing I would guess

That's a rough looking character, looks like fun though. Only fished the ocean 1 time if you want to call it that. I was working in Rosenberg Texas and we had a free weekend so we went out on a party boat from Galveston. 80 some people, most spent the day sitting in the cabin sea sick. They took us around to the oil rigs, caught a bunch of Spadefish, a nice Ling , some channel cat looking fish and a shark about 3 feet long. They deck hand cut my line on it. Said it was to dangerous to bring onboard with other people on the boat. It was cheap entertainment for the day, nothing I would do again

Fun fact, sometimes they have blue filets.

The ones I have caught always had blue meat till cooked. Very good eating!


I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!

They look a lot like a giant sculpin, of which I have had the dis-pleasure of catching hundreds. Never ate one, but have caught a few I would guess were pushing 8-10 pounds.
Cabezon are apparently highly desirable in the pacific coastal lower 48.


Just doing what I want now.

Consider yourself fortunate. A man of your stature with a pimple for a cranial cavity would fall over if blessed as thee.
