monkey face pricke back size limit

I once found a juvenile monkeyface prickleback in the mouth of a lingcod, still alive. I put the 8" eel on my 4 oz jig and proceeded to catch loads of bottom fish on one bait. It was the perfect size, I then caught another big ling on that bait and it regurgitated an octopus and several freshly eaten herring, it was on after that! Thats my only experience with these crazy looking fish/eels, Id love to catch more of them and try that ceviche recipe

I found a 22+ inch Monkey inside a fat 35 inch Ling last year...

Greedy piggy!!

 

 

Sincerely,

Sooooo......did you eat the eel to?  Also, let me know if you ever need a fishing buddy!
