ling ate this..I.D help

Buddy of mine caught a Cabazon with a 3" abalone in it.......fried it up, said it was the best ab he ever had. 

That eel looks too far gone even for bait. But reminds me of the octopus the last ling I caught was puking up, wished I had saved them, would have made great bait even after being  frozen.

i did this. i have to agree it's one of the best tasting ab's i've ever had. i think the stomach acid tenderized it

Right, why waste an abalone?

Was already doomed. 

If it looks good eat it! 

Nice awesome job

Hey, was that a legal sized ab?    I wonder what the deal is with that?  Calling Hojoman.  I would have ate it too.

you know now that i think about it...in this one area where I catch cabezon the most around monterey ...there is also a lot of small ab shells in the sand and rocks ,clean and empty and not broken....I wonder if cabby cough em up after they digest the meat and this is why I see more shells in this one area?
