Haha that's awesome. Enjoy tonight!!kaotay wrote:Thanks!Fishn104 wrote: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?
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.

Re: Respect
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.

Re: Respect
Ripper ling K, big buggar at that. Yes, they are one of the best eating fish around and not cheap at the fish markets... :thumbsup: :dinner:
Re: Respect
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
When I got time,
I wet a line cos Im a junkie,
been fishin since a kid,
I like it cos it numbs me..

Re: Respect
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.
