That's a monster. Cheek meat the size of pancakes!

After my first taste of Halibut cheeks a few years ago....I thought...hmmmm,.....Lings must have nice cheeks, too, right?

WOW! Not quite two meals but they were outstanding! Like the best Rock Scallops you ever ate.

They compared to a Halibut cheek from an 80 pound fish or bigger.

Best part of Ling cod by far is the cheeks,well worth the effort to cut them out

Wayne- I can show you a quick and easy way to cut out lingcod cheeks when we go on the Huli Cat in Dec, if you like....

Steve-O- Nice fish! So were you using the silvers you caught for bait?

Fins and parts of the Silver carcass as bait, yes.

Or just 24 oz jigs.

Those are some good eating right there. I've caught mysef a few lingcod while halibut fishing. I was near the ring of fire.

Thanks, guys.

Here's a deck shot. Each of us got a Ling, a rockfish, and two halibut. My Ling kinda dwarfs the others

Here's one a them Lingers a friend got down on the Big Sur coast last Summer. He ate another ling that my friend hooked( a 5 lb'er. )that took some live bait---a 2 fer 1! The big debate was; would his rather large head fit in the critters mouth, I was bettin yes!, but of course he didn't try it...
