Mean Green Ling Cod

First Time Bottom Fishing

Went out of Depot Bay the last weekend in May. It was my very first bottom fishing trip. We were on a 6 man boat, but there were only 5 of us. I ended up catching the biggest ling cod of the day. I wouldn't have been so completely grossed out in posing for my picture (which really doesn't do this beautifully ugly fish justice), however I didn't realize that I was going to have to stick my fingers in this poor guy's eye sockets, hence the look of shock/disgust on my face!
