Using a plastic lip gripper, along with a weight attached, can also work!



Didn't Noah try that on a ling last time we were at Depoe Bay.  If I remember right he didn't use weight and he forgot to attach it to his rod.  Also, He forgot Lings don't suffer from barotrauma.  :toothy12: :toothy9: :toothy12:
My method was way more advanced. It also incorporated my GPS, just to make sure Mr. Ling knew how to find his way home. The first part worked good.......... :dontknow:

When are you going to get back on the water? Have you found these guys yet? :glasses6: :glasses7:

These are the best $6 I've spent to release deep fish. It hooks up inline, so I use my jig to take the fish back down.

Now that's gotta be the slickest and most practical thing I've seen  :icon_thumleft:

I hope to fish soon.  I need some stress relief.  Although the first thing I need to do is spend some time with the kiddos.  My wife was very sick all last week and since I was dealing with that shit sandwich at work my kids went feral.  It was a little Lord of the Flyish around my house til the wifey could function again.
