Tiger Rockfish

Like many of their genus, Tiger Rockfish may live well over 100 years, and have correspondingly low reproductive rates. It is very easy to fish them out. Clallam County, WA

It's seems a shame to kill them. Terrific find and image, Hal.

That is shocking that they can live that long! I wouldn't think many fish could survive and not get eaten at some point. Do you think their bright colors and stripes scare other fish off that might otherwise eat them?
