Lost Coast Tuesday - 7/15 - Quality Porn in the Morn

Bravo, especially on the Ling. Keep 'em coming.

Very nice Eric.  When are you going to get a second and third camera so we can get some other shots in there?  I think we need to start challenging your editing skills a bit more.

inspiring! thanks AK

Thanks for the show!  One of your best vids for sure.

Thanks, all.  You've all got potential for a killer cameo in upcoming episodes!

Working on it, Brian!   

jhfish - sorry I can't adopt you - it would be a crappy scene anyway!

  "Get those dirty underwear in the hand-wash tub, John!  And get those deep-fryers scrubbed out!"   

abking - true ling king. It is way cool to see the movie. You are main character, not only in the movie, but also on this board.  Thanks for sharing.

I...  just...  want to be...  loved!

Screw the little kissee smileys - where's the humpin' buddies?!       

Oh, I have so much fun here - thanks, Bill, for creating this little Wonderland of Yak-Fantasies and this Strong Brotherhood of Gregarious yet Staunchly Individualistic Souls. 

When I interact and share here I am able to enter a humblingly calm meditative trance that helps me guide my life.  This shit is as real as it gets.

Too funny Dude!
   I had my arrow on those Humpers, but didn't want to confuse the lurkers, with the "Porn in the morn" heading and all.
..NOTthatTHERE'SanythingWRONGwithTHAT~

Dude, when you released that fish I thought that was just about the most awesome thing I have seen for awhile. Thanks,Craig

Thanks, Craig.  The biggest one I've released so far was 39" and 23.5 pounds, and I've released several other 20 pound class.  I fish shallow, so there are no rockfish floaters due to barotrauma.  I also use barbless hooks for lots of my light gear fishing, and I often go with only a big terminal leadhead or iron to target lings instead of continuing to catch lots of rockfish.  I left that bare hook on there above the lead and I'd feel a little fish like that black hit it and I'd let it hang there like that.  The ling just destroyed that thing when it hit - that was a cool feeling!  I've cleaned quite a few big lings and enjoyed the meat, but you only get about 8-10 pounds of filets from a 20+ pound ling.  I'd rather harvest a 10 pounder now and then - more meat and less head.  The big bucket heads can stay and spawn - they're usually females, the biggest ones that is.  I had an awesome time on the water that day, as I always do, but it made it really special to catch and release that big ling and be able to share it here.

 

Cool to release. how big was the ling (released)? 30+? I did not hear voice clearly.

Excellent points Eric,
I have never had a Ling of size be so mellow when brought to the surface - it seems I always get the thrashing, death rollers. Your comments have given me a new perspective, thanks.

They tend to mellow out alot when I hold them by the outer gill plate ridge - I still swear by netting and holding vs the gaff.
