ling ate this..I.D help

lings were hitting big hammers today very nice...kept two and moved on to Cabezon and Rockfish

When I got home I was cleaning my catch and found one ling was pretty fat and felt like it had a rock fish i it's stomach...turns out it had this eel?? monkey face??? inside folded about five times...the ling was around 30" so the mystery thing looked every bit of that and some maybe...it was stinky and gross and made  a mess of my normal work towel cleaning station...it stunk bad 

what was it????

the big Cabby and fresh garden veggies is just for extra pics

Wolf eel.

Juvenile wolf eel

Great find!  Way to document and share.  I once pulled a whole 6 pound black rockfish out of a big ling's belly.  A predator that can swallow another large fish whole is badass.

 

If it had long sharp teeth like a dog then it's probably a wolf eel...I just caught my first one ever 2wks ago.

Nice.  A few weeks back I cleaned a ling with an 18' lamprey in its belly.

the ling hit a 6 oz jig head with a luminous white/pearl 9" sledgehammer tail....

Seems this ling was still hungry...or just dont like big stuff teasing it

you want the one from this picture...it's all yours...lemme go get it before the trash guy comes...


after the smell I had when I cut the stomach open...It was all I could do to save the ling meat...I'll never eat an eel now...good or not...I have the mental picture of this one burned into my brain

Aren't "stretching" the Lamprey a little bit "PeePee"?
