Cambria 5-31-09 I've heard dolphins are a good omen.............

Awesome colors on that ling! Thanks for sharing.

That is a beautiful lingcod.  Thanks for the report - nice one.   

what AbKing said...

Another nice ling! Love its kelp cammo coloration. 
Mellow marine mammal encounters are always a bonus.

...and what Aaron said. Makes me want to paint my old bronco to match that lingcod.

Nice job Stache!

damn! i just took another look at the pic with the dolphin - you had barely even launched looking at the size of the rock in the distance

This last Sunday was sort of a last minute thing too.  We decided to go fishing about 8:30PM on Saturday.
The fishing was pretty slow on Sunday, but I got a lucky bonus that day.  Thanks for leaving one for me! We had a great dinner of Huachinango Veracruzana (snapper Veracruz) this evening.  Yum!
