I don't look at them that close to determine rockfish or hybrid, all of the rockfish I catch have a straight back, lean body and mostly straight lines, hybrids develope a bit of a hump, with a deep body and more broken lines, real easy to tell on fish of 10# or more. Most of the fish over 10 are rockfish, but some are hybrids. All my fish are frozen by the time they make it home, so red meat goes straight out with the head and guts.

Striperfan, I think the long slender rockfish are the males.
