The only thing that makes it different is the location in which it was caught. Unless I read the regs wrong

I want to say that is the minimum fillet length (with skin attached).
You leave a patch of skin on the filet for identification (can't remember how big the patch has to be).

So a seabass fillet has to be 20" in length, if you get checked by DFG.

But I doubt anyone is filetting seabass on their kayak.

How come the rock fish, lingcod and sheep head say no fish until May 1, 2014? I have seen a few reports were these fish are being harvested now.
