March 23, 2008 | I know this isn't "by the book", but, honestly, I didn't want to mess with this fish more than I had to. It was exactly on my faded 25" mark, and I know the photos don't prove it. If there's ever a dispute I'll pull it. | Show |

June 20, 2007 | Big ling from The Cape. I have several shots and crops including showing the tape not moving in relation to the dorsal spines in 4 shots in a row, but these are taken holding the camera up over my lap before weighing and releasing, the quality's not great - luckily the ling held still. Hawk took quite a few shots, so hopefully he can turn me on to some better shots to put on here. 23.5 pounds. | Show |
