A sabiki rig with a relatively heavy weight so when all six hooks are taken, it will be somewhat more manageable. They will feel like they are going to tip your kayak!

Ocean water in a cooler box with frozen water bottles to cool it. Do not let the fish touch fresh water. 

Pay attention to fish finder as you paddle around.  Drop it as soon as you see a bait ball. 

Let the party begin! 

You throw them in the cooler box as soon as you can put them in. You will be cursing the whole time with a big smile. 

Stick your index finger in their moth for a good control as you toss them into the cooler box behind you. Cooler box pictured was full! My kayak's top part of the rudder was submerged from the wait and it was dragging, is when I quit. 

Let them be by your feet until you drop the hooks back down. 

When cleaning them, avoid tap water as much as possible. 

Use some to rinse off after de-scaling. And use again to wash off the blood line. 

Salt lightly right after. 

I will attach filtering instructions. 

Vacuum pack and freeze. 

Take what you gonna eat out of the freezer in the evening in the morning (warm dry day) in a net after dousing them in sugar on both side. 

Reduce: soy sauce, mirin, sake and sugar to about 1/2 of its original volume. 

Air fry  at around  360 for five minutes until the skin starts to bubble and barely brown. 

Apply a coat of the reduction 

Fry some more until how you like it. Then apply some more reduction and fry for another min. 

Sprinkle shichimi to your liking. 

And they make great rockfish bait as cut chunks!
