You should post a pic if you have any. A 60" ling is quite a trophy. I've guided in SE AK for 22 years and have only seen a handful that size and they are awesome creatures.

This was a AK fish. Chartered out of a 42' boat for 3 nights. I must have caught 30 lings to get it, captin had to open the door on the boat, the first in 4 years. Awsome trip!
