I love big greenlings. They give a big fillet to body ratio and lotsa good quality meat for their size.
Steve
ps.
 My wife just asked me if I was satisfied now with another big ling in the fridge..."Satisfied? Satisfied?" I said.
"No it doesn't work that way at all."

It like Christopher Walken said;
 "I gotta fever and the only thing that can be prescribed is more cow-bell."

ps.2
Check out the length markers on the homemade gaff.

Nice one, Steve.  That big chunk missing from the tail could be a sign of juvenile GWS according to a kinda popular bio-type around here (Super Badass Dude or something is his name...)   :smt002

I'm looking to dig up a pic of a 'zilla from years past that I had laid out on my Silverado tailgate.  Yes, I'm OCD for measurements.   :smt003
