Big fish to end the season

This turned out to be a good year in the Upperbay for Rockfish despite all the adverse weather. I was hoping to get into some bigger fish that migrate into the bay late in the fall, and luckily I got a few light tackle jigging, I tried trolling a few times and did catch fish on every trip, but I could never seem to get anything over 40". usually you get bigger fish trolling for the migrants and smaller fish jigging, but not this fall. I did go on a pierandsurf.com group trip on the charter boat "Katherine" (http://katherinecharterfishing.zenfolio.com/ ) and one fish over 40" was boated by one of the board members, but I think we were about a week to early that day.
