Sweet ling. Isn't that Thor John?Yep! got the picture of the Monster Ling.
Sorry about the miscue on the sockeye. My fault really. We have over 30 employes here at the Marina.. Lots of university students some from back east. For some of them ID of fish species is not their strong suit. But It's My OOPS for just pulling the info. off the posting board without questioning it.
Here is the ling:

X2 on that one bro!Not trying to be a pot stirrer, and i do enjoy reading your detailed reports.
But, it make makes sense for you to talk to your guides and have an plan for fish species ID and general fish conservation. There's no way that ling should have been killed. The large ones are the females and they should remain in the water to lay their eggs if you want to maintain a sustainable fishery. That is a really easy thing to explain to the guest (so they release their fish) and most of the better lodges have a conservation plan in place.
I hope that ling tastes good and doesn't end up with freezer rot and being used for crab bait. Did your guide not see it was massively pregnant?

Dude posted that pic. Im thinking its fair game to reply to it. Maybe he doesn't kill that fish next time...Ok guys.....it's a perfectly legal fish and the anglers choice to kill or release. With all due respect to your thoughts on ethics and conservation let's bring this back to Nootka/Esperanza reports....
