I'm sure we have already "heard" of this fish on this forum:

"To temper the effect bocaccio is having on the industry, Fisheries and Oceans Canada responded this year by raising the amount of bycatch allowed."

Good to see they are making a comeback. If I remember correctly they are closed to sport fishing, at least in our area.

Good to see ! Know they upped Yelloweye a lot too. Hopefully we can get a 1 per day back on YE so we aren’t seaquilizing all day!

I know 2018 they were schools of massive fish on the west side of Haida. I mean massive. And the fish were all over 6-8lbs.

The last 3 years I have never seen so many of these.

You can thank the halibut longline fleet and Phma for that increase.
