dude, you already caught a salmon! :smt044
some would say that you are doing this backwards :smt003

and so the madness begins to take hold................. :smt002

Seriously congrats on the first ling, whatever the size. Now go get a big one to take home-the DFG made it easier this year than ever! Save a rockfish- eat a lingcod.

Congrats!!

Save a rockfish- eat a lingcod.

No doubt!!!

I caught more Lings than RockFish up at GS6!! 

I heard from a DFG biologist that one of the main reasons they lowered the size limit was to help protect the rockies from the abundance of the 22-26 inch size Lings out there. Lings grow quicker than rockies and are ravenous carnivorous beasts!  :smt005

Catch or blast em and eat em up!

 :smt003

Congrats again...gotta get those pics up though bro!!!
