BIG LINGS
« on: April 07, 2014, 08:07:17 AM »
Our first trip out this spring was out of this world. First drop ,4 fisherman 2 hooks each rod, We brought up 4 lings and 1 halibut. 2 of the lings were over 30 on the same rod. That fishermans first time ling fishing. 3 drifts and we were limited for 7 guys. 14 lings from 25-40 lbs. Headed back in after 2 hours of fishing.

  So I will finish this by saying. It was open for deep water lings, It was legal to use 2 hooks. We did release all of the halibut. ( 9 total) No adipose fins, we did use barbed hooks. Even the game warden was exited to check our jumbo lings.

Nice, looks like a decent grade of fish I've been wanting to get out there, probably not till the opener though. 40lbs is a BIG ling anymore, not many can say they've caught one of those. Did you guys just do a deep water ling run or pick up some bass inshore as well?

Some nice fish there!
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

That's awesome.  My wife got a doubler on a pipe jig last year, twin 25's.

Looks like EPIC is dialed in for the year.  Are you taking charters yet or is it all pre-fishing with friends??  I need to get into some of those magnum lings :)

Thanks for adding that :tup: Now all I require is the coordinates to check if those are OK!

Dude, NICE ling haul!
