Guys
You should have been there...
The night was as good as you can expect for two days before Halloween "witch " can be the coldest day of the year.

They won't let us have a fire on the ground anymore and the fire bucket is burned out so just a heater and lantern.

This set the tone, she got the first fish, right at dark, and it was a ling. From then on It was non stop.

I had an extra pole "loaded" and ready to go, As soon as we had one on the ground I would deploy the extra.
By the time I had the fish off in the crate or returned and re bait there was another "Fish on", Sometimes we had two fish in play and the extra not "loaded". By 9:00 she was exhausted and we just HAD to stop. I missed a ton of fish just working her, One ling was over 4 pounds , she also got two Huge Mondo rainbow too one of them was 4 pounds. She hocked and reeled in all her own fish.

We kept one , the smaller trout ,and two ling.
My neighbor wanted a ling.
If we had , had more fisherman I know a 30 or 40 fish night would have been possible.
One of the better ling fishing nights I have had in many years.

Looks like a fun evening !! It's fun to catch fish like that it keeps the kids in the action and not get bored...Lings are somewhat slimey if you can get them to handle them they won't have trouble with other fish !!:lol:

i never knew that there were fresh water ling cod, if they are anything like the salt water ling cod that we have up here, it is what we call the poor mans lobster, and they are good.
looks like you are having to much fun. keep up the good work.
