Rockfish
There are over 250 different species of rockfish. Even though there are so many different species, they all have similar behaviors. They are bottom feeders and they hang out in very deep water. Most anglers catch these fish in 100 to 300 feet of water.
Lingcod
The lingcod is a popular fish from California to Alaska. It can be found along the inshore waters and way out in offshore waters as well. It is definitely one of the uglier-looking saltwater fish, but it provides anglers with some fun action and a fine meal. It can grow as large as 75 pounds, but most fish are caught in the 5 to 25 pound range.
