Nice shot on the ling Stuart.

Nice shooting!  Thanks for the report and pictures...

Excellent! 

Despite all the recent winds/swell, the seas flattened & Sunday turned out to be a beautiful day.


Sunny, calm, and very little swell topside...   
but a completely different story underwater...  freezing, lots of surge, and poor visibility.   


Despite some adverse conditions and a general absence of fish, Stuart still managed to pull these hefty lings out.

After a slow start, we finished the day with a well rounded stringer of lings, an assortment of rockfish, couple perch, and a lonely calico bass.



Here are a couple UW pics as I was relegated to photographer status

Great carnage shots, Fuzz.  I'm jealous - I need some clear water!   

Any size to the calico?

Any size to the calico?

About average for Monterey.   

Nice fish, love the underwater shots!

Wow Fuzz thanks for the awesome story and pics.  How many trips did you go on before you started nailing fish like that?

Nice underwater shots.
