Well, I just got back, no tuna yet, so we went bottom fishing. And the yellow and red ones were the trick for the rockfish (and also for the ling cod if there was a little rockfish on it!) I caught several rockfish then got bored and set my sights on something a little bigger and toothier.
Here's what the bait looked like

I got several bites and lost a total of 4 big fish but the biggest one managed to get hooked well and we got her on board for a couple quick pictures, then I let her go to make more babies.

I didn't get any actual measurements on her but she is definitely the biggest ling cod I've caught (or seen for that matter). She sure put up one heck of a fight!
Here's a couple other fish that I brought home:
