San Juan Linger...
« on: June 08, 2009, 10:13:54 PM »
Ok, we went out and got a big linger this weekend.  The max is 40" and he is about as close to that as you can get.  He was a big buckethead and I'm not "long arming" it like it looks in the picture.  I'm a big dude and this one measured about 39".  It's next to my body.  He was yummy!

Would have liked to tie into several of those out in LaPush !!  ;) did you get him diving or hook em ?? Is there a length limit for divers ??
The essense of freedom is the proper limitation of government !!!

Got him fishing.  That's the max while fishing.  Next time I'll be diving and get a bigger one...   ;)

you just had to throw in the fact he was tasty too. Why didn't you catch a few dog fish and weed them out?
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.
