Mendocino Coast July 28 2025 Report

Used some lingcod candy, sanddab to catch monster ling.  One I released was likely my new PB, but it was not a very accurate measurement. 
The final score was: Ling 2: Paul 5.

I don't think I can catch 40"+ ling and be able to measure on the kayak safely.  Any suggestions?
Enjoy the video:

Great Ling footage!

Champagne problems, haha.  That ling is a TANK!  Nice work!

I'm still working out the best way to measure fish while underway too.  If you figure it out, let me know! 

Thanks for the report and great video Paul.  You need a bigger net
