Stillwater Report 5/1

Surprised, no one has mentioned the big ling's stomach full of kelp.  I really think thats pretty odd, since we were expecting a nice big fish to be inside that big guy.  Anyone seen that before? 

Yeah, that was really weird. Its stomach was completely empty except for a chunk of kelp. It probably could've weighed an additional 5-8lbs if it had been eating more. I suspect it had very recently spawned.


Also wanted to post another pic for Al. I forgot about the bloodbath pic. This is what happens when you bleed your fish in the boat and forget to remove the tankwell plugs. D'OH!


Couple more pics.



And YES, I'm down for a repeat Mike! I'm usually a wknd-angler but trying to get out on a weekday soon.
