Big Ling lossed at the rail to a GW

Just a little story. Yesterday on the Queen of Hearts(most likely in Pescadero), a big rod-bending ling, seconds from getting gaffed was taken off the hook by a Great White(jig and all). You can read about it here; just scroll down to fishing summary http://www.fishingboat.com/report.html#summary

Can you imagine seeing a GW snag a ling from Kayak fisherman?  

At least he'd have a fully tummy then...

I am picturing it, I think I would Dukie.......

Sounds like your typical hitchhiker great white...

my two cent from thinking about, want if since the said it was lingzilla, may it thought it was a sick or wounded seal. well then on the other hand they really don't know much about gw. maybe they like lingzilla.  but if I had go, I would want bye a gw in the ocean. what a better way to GO OUT FIGHTING, DOING WHAT I LOVE. live life to the fullest

that's a good story.

It's strange to think you have a big fish, only to see it chowed off the line.

Had a blackfin tuna in the 10lb range on a party boat in FL, got eaten by a brown shark, about 80lbs was the captain's guess. In this case, the brown shark was hooked and got him to the boat, released. bummed because I landed a 14lb skipjack but those are not easy eating, whereas the blackfin are reputedly good and I still haven't had one.

pulled what I thought was a big mangrove snapper (wasn't that big, but was big to me) out of the water just ahead of a big atlantic great barracuda.

all one's expectations get reset. A big ling is dinner for 12 people, but just a snack to a GW.

Awesome story. I bet whites don't get to eat lings very often because of lings being bottom fish and all. Probably a rare treat for that GW, like ablies from a kayak.
