Nothing makes a fish bigger than almost being caught....
Re: 2012 Vancouver Island Pic HEAVY
I'm gonna have to disagree there Freak, a nice hefeweizen batter slab of ling beats the pan fry in my book. But I do agree, ling is a nice change of pace from steelhead and salmon.

Re: 2012 Vancouver Island Pic HEAVY
killer! we do that a bunch here too. But when its fresh, we pan fry it because it gives you the taste of the fish without any batter or anything, and its killer!

Re: 2012 Vancouver Island Pic HEAVY
How come whenever you take a picture of a fish on a scale you always put your hand on the fish and pull it down?

Haha well, actually, that scale at the marina makes the fish turn sideways so you cant see them for pictures, so i am actually just letting the fish rest on my hand so it doesnt turn sideways, im not pulling down at all, the fish is really 32.5 pounds. To prove it, check the picture below, and the picture near the top where I am holding the halibut. the scale goes sideways with a king on it, so you gotta turn um, My fish are plenty big enough, i dont need to pull the scale down any more than it already is
