That's a stonka ling mate. Well done!! As for drag setting, always have it loose enough in case of a run. What did taste like?

Thanks!
It will taste great, steamed with sesame oil and soy sauce tonight.
Have caught ling before, usually easy to land but this one put up quite a fight and made the drag on my 2500 reel sing.

Haha that's awesome. Enjoy tonight!!

I didn't even know they grew that big, awesome work and good advice.

Yeah, I'm hearing ya Kaotay. Was snapper fishing in westernport this morning, caught what I though was a bait stealing rock cod....until it got near the boat, and it kicked off big time. Result, nice little eater sized gummy shark, lovely little bonus for the morning.

What I thought was a banjo became my PB rock ling at 67cm/1.8kg, taken on a squid strip.

Nice size ling!! Biggest Ive seen from the bay for awhile! I used to get them heaps from webb dock to lagoon pier. Like yourself, I'd rather eat a nice ling than a big snapper

Thanks all, I was very fortunate to catch it, here's hoping the bay continues to improve so there'll be plenty more for all.
