So, caught a nice lingcod on Sunday and found this inside it while cleaning it. FYI, it was NOT in the stomach. It was located inside the gut cavity and in very good condition. Any ideas?

That is what I was thinking.  Some sort of tracking device?  

Well if it is a tracking device someone is wondering what that thing is doing walking around on dry land.  :chuckle:

I figured the men in ninja suits would descend from the black helicopters for fish and chips but no visitors yet. Feels solid and not very heavy.

That's what I would do, just break it appart. But then again, I like breaking things.

I'd call WDFG and ask if they are putting some kind of tracking in Ling's. You might get some reward for returning it.
