Just food for thought no pun intended…
The past week week has brought quite a few beautiful fish over the rail! Fortunately most of them went back home none the worse for wear.
Ling Cod always look surprised…
But even more so when they are returned to the sea to continue their domination of the deep.
The future of ocean fishing is always in question and I personally believe it’s time to put the big ones back while taking a few home for dinner. In my case this means sad neighbors and probably less invitations from my salmonid fanatic friends to go fishing, but it’s worth it.
Fishing has been red hot and halibut and king salmon season is almost here so stay tuned!
Far out! Those are some monster pogies out there in the big blue!
Glad to hear that kind of attitude. With Ling Cod the biggest fish are the Females and the bigger the fish the more eggs are produced. Also the bigger the fish the larger the eggs, and they also have a better chance of survival than eggs from smaller fish. This is also true of Salmon and most other fish.
I am ready to go!
