Fishing with the kinfolks

This week my cousin and her family came up to visit. Kris, Danny, and Colten are from Social Circle, Georgia. They like to fish and spent quite a lot of time catching perch and spot off the dock. It was windy all week but we managed to get them out for a couple of rockfishing trips. The first day we tried livelining and caught a few. Danny caught two and hooked a big fish but it broke off after tangling around the sharp rocks. The next day Kris went out with us just "to watch" as Daniel and I fished. We found a big school of fish near a pipeline north of the Bay Bridge. After we caught a few, Kris decided to try her luck. She promptly landed the biggest fish of the day, along with a couple more keeper rockfish. She held it up for a shot with her camera, but we couldn't get her to hold it for any more pictures. Here's Daniel with 4 of the fish we kept.
