How BIG is this lingcod Tim’s fighting?!?

Tim hauls in this monster from the deep on our 3 day Neah trip!

Excellent observation

Any keeper lingcod is a good lingcod. A few years ago up in Alaska, we were using 3 lb. live kelp bass for bait 30 miles off the coast and limited out with lingcod weighing up to 35 lbs.

My dad caught one when I was a kid back in the late 60s. They are like dead weight and made us believe he had a sand shark. Ugliest fish I've ever seen! 😂

Ugly but tasty!
