Today my dad Kent and my brother-in-law Doug Hopeman went bottom fishing with me in order to catch fish for the New Years holiday. It is tradition for us to eat the fish that we catch bottom fishing for the holiday. It has been slow so we didn’t expect much. It started off slow but picked up and soon it turned into a great day. It surpassed my expectations by far.This fish is an Opakapaka and weighed 10 pounds. It is rare for us to see them this size now.
