I agree with Scallywag. I only keep fish I plan to eat and there can't much meat on a 9" rock fish. Why run the risk of killing a bunch of fish that are too small to use.
It has been many years since I have fished deep for rock fish. Unless my memory has failed me, the rock fish I used to catch were quite large, several pounds at least. Have we depleted this population to the point where the big fish are no longer around? If so, maybe we should voluntarily stop targeting rock fish.
If anyone knows something about this issue, please wade in.
