You were in the Puget Sound area, and the sun was shining!
Now, now Theo, the "hundred days of darkness" (more like 6 months) is primarily a wintertime thing in the Puget Sound area.
I also caught a whole bunch of these "bullheads" out of the Sound in addition to that sea run cutthroat.
Oh no they have Sea Robins in the Pacific too!
We have been catching a red version of that fish while drifting for Flounder on the Mid-Atlantic coast for years. Anymore we really should just call it trash collecting as we catch more of those then keeper fluke.
A skate, a dogfish and a sea robin or as my uncle Frank likes to call it the "Garbage Grand Slam"...
