Kayak Fishing Baja...back when?

I use to live down in San Diego, fishing Baja by kayak kept me going during the winter months.  As you might be able to tell from my setup, this was a while ago.

Kinda wish I could teleport down there during our mid-winter in the PNW, just for a day or two to thaw out.

That area looks beautiful. What kind of fish is that black one with the long fin tips?

Hogfish, if I remember correctly. The southern cousin of the California Sheephead.

Hah!  That's what I thought, although was questioning myself if they were in the Pacific.  Then I was thinking it was a juvie Sheep.  What are the other 2?  I like to think I can identify most common specifies on the Pacific coast, but you got me stumped all the way around.

That first one looks like it's related to greenling and lingcod.  It looks cool.

Popeye Catalufa in the second to last?  Cute little bugger.

Nice pics.  They are getting me psyched for my trip to Baja in February.

Good one, I was thinking squirrel fish (obviously wrong). I still don't know what that first one was, some type of large gobie?
