Red Fish, Blue Fish…what’s up with all the different colors of fish flesh?

October 23, 2018 By JD Leave a Comment

Fish flesh comes in all sorts of interesting colors. Just look at this picture I took after filleting a day’s catch off the Oregon coast.

The crazy blue green of the lingcod…beautiful orange of Chinook salmon and whiteish meat of black rockfish.

Ever wonder what makes a fish’s flesh the color that it is?

Will these World Record Fish ever be broken?

May 15, 2018 By JD Leave a Comment

There are a bunch of world record fish that likely will never be broken.

In some cases records will remain safe due to new regulations. Take for example, Joey “Sturgeon King” Pallotta’s 468-pound white sturgeon that he caught out of Benicia, CA back in July of 1983. Since then, fishing regulations governing sturgeon up and down the West Coast include maximum size limits to ensure the big spawner females don’t get taken out of the gene pool.

In other cases, habitat degradation, development, pollution and over-harvest have all but wiped out the ability of some species to reach record class sizes anymore.

From monster great white sharks to Tuna the size of small cars and brook trout as long as your leg, here’s Field & Stream’s list of 15 (most likely) Unbreakable World Records.

News Flash: the “tuna water” has moved onshore near Sana Cruz over the past couple days and on Thursday, boats running out of Santa Cruz harbor only 15-17 miles found nice conditions and scores of 20-30+ fish.

There is a nice weather window Friday and Saturday and then the weather is forecasted to kick back up…

For an in-depth look at all that’s happening out of this port, check out out SC Fishing Report
