That is a monster Yellow Eye!! Nice Ling-on that has to be my fav fish to catch. We get one of them big boy's every year like that. I sure wouldn't want to swim with that aggressive fish got a mouth big enough to lose your head.
Nice catch Capt.

Bummer is we had to throw the yellow eye back--We are not allowed to keep them--even though they are dead when you bring them up from 600'.

I put in ALOT of Ling every year. I use to get bigger ones diving for them--once a year only because they are our breeders. I like them about the size there--but here is a picture of one we got a couple years ago off the coast--broke Ed's brand new halibut pole--look carefully---49".

Good lookin' rig Genie.

How's the old toyota do at hauling her? 3.0 or 22R(E)?

Thats some beautiful country ya'll got up there.
