looks like a pacific hake to me.
Fishing relaxes me. It's like yoga, except i still get to kill something.
Re: Please help with ID
It might be pollock. Hake or pollock, I haven't seen one of those since the 80's
Look for Wannafish A Lure on FaceBook
He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

The ones I use to catch didn't. We had a hard time telling them from the tom cod.

The cods have a chin whisker whereas the hake does not. Pollock have darker fins/markings, I'd go with the spokey9's assessment that it is a juvenile hake.

Not so sure I'd say it's a juvy, after processing a few million pounds for them for human consumption (Yuk!!!!!) I'd have to say looks pretty normal for a PS Hake. Now the ones from out in the ocean are a bit bigger but I still have never seen one that came close to the WDFW descriptions 35" long......... Maybe back in the early 1900's.G-Man wrote:The cods have a chin whisker whereas the hake does not. Pollock have darker fins/markings, I'd go with the spokey9's assessment that it is a juvenile hake.
Build a man a fire and he's warm for the night. Light a man on fire and he's warm the rest of his life!

For reals, I have seen a hake since back in the early to late 80's. AGAIN!! Thanks to our commercial fishing for wiping out the fishery.
