This is an unknown Rockfish, which is super interesting because I memorized most if not all Rockfish caught up and down the coast of Cali, and this is not one of them.

Is that the Cabrillo Highway you were on? Looks like a fantastic road with great coastal views, I could imagine cycling there, it'd be great.
