Lingcod

Not quite Ling Kong but it'll give Lingzilla a run for its money.  I sure wish I'd remembered my camera on this day.  It would have been great to get a lap shot with mama ling eye'ing my crotch.  

36" Ling from a cobblestone shoal, miles offshore.  



-Spot-

Thought I'd throw this mama into the ling pile.  Not sure how long she really was, but it felt good to get her back in the water.

You're the man YM. That pig is a beast!

This is a ling from a few weeks back in Cali. I didn't get an accurate measure but it was over 34".

38 inches of fish and chips
18lbs 10oz

That fish gained a full pound in a just bit over a week.  Nice!   

Give it another week it will be as big as Nanook's 20lber

ouch!

If anyone would like to argue that this ling is NOT at least 40", or that the man in the image is not me...take it up with the lingcod.  I can tell you roughly where to find him (or her).

Video soon!

SH*T!!

WOW
Nice.....

That is a quality fish!  Thick!

  I'm looking out the window at 13ft swells right now and feeling really jealous!

Yea, what PP said, that thing is dark brown, looks like a big him to me ... It was too foggy to see the ocean this morning, but judging by the 2 foot swells inside Sunset Bay, i didn't really need to see it.

Holy crap!  That thing actually looks proportional next to you.   
Nice going!  I can't wait to see the vid!

Okay those all put to shame the 24" 7 lber my fishing buddy caught yesterday!
