On this episode of TLA I travel down to Monterey with Moo, Nando, and Jamie for squid, lingcod and and my spirit fish the California Halibut! We go out on Nando's new boat which runs like a dream. Nando (AKA The Ling King) discovers a new continent which he officially declares by Edict "LingDonesia", and I use this new bait that drives the local resident lings "NUTS!" Moo uses his precisions squid for bait and things just keep getting more strange! Watch Nando tax his new subjects and find out what bait drives lings nuts on this episode of TLA!

Thanks paul. Looks like the full moon brought them out!

I needed a new one. Thanks for posting! --TLA
