My Daughter wanted to go for a morning fish and since they all like fish and chips we went for the white fish and she managed to jig up this one at 41.5 lbs. Needless to say she was excited and I asked her if she wanted to let it go and it was a no ! It made good fish and chips last night.

The first rule of fishing is to fish where the fish are. The second rule of fishing is to never forget the first rule.

Todd,
No better way to spend a day than outdoors with the kids! Even better when they enjoy fishing, as your daughter does.
Great catch , quality time together, nothing better!!!

Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!

I fish with these jigs I make and another one that is similar. I 've hade very good luck with them on all species of bottom fish here in BC, just tip with a little salmon skin or piece of octo. When you make them you don't cry as much as when you pay 12 to 20 bucks for a jig ! The location is secrete unless you come up and bring scotch !

That's a big ling cod, way more fun watching your kid hang a monster like that than catching it yourself. Did you eat the cheeks? Nice piece of meat in that one. You'd need a bushel of potatoes for the chips! Thanks for posting
Do what you can with that you have where you are

Good stuff, great memories, I`ve been trying to catch fish half that size for 68 years or more, cheers Don.
