IMHO - as long as air and water temperatures are fairly cool - C/R for Rockfish is fine.
I agree 100% - they are a sturdy fish. Look at how many Diamond Jim tags were recaptured - these Rock were caught by hook / line , measured - then a tag inserted into them before being put back. This was in warmer weather to boot.
Taking extra care as a sport fishermen - ensures they survive C/R.
