Went down with a few buddies in hopes of reliving the good times of last summer. Ling cod is open so we had our jigs , soft plastic's and herring as well as our secondary weapon heavy shark gear for when we get bored. Started out in our usual spot out on Les Davis pier and got a few bites within the first hour on the jigs but couldn't get anything to stick besides a dog shark that my buddy hooked on a jig tipped with a herring fillet. Cut up the 31/2 ' dog into 1/3 's rigged one of them on the shark rod, steel cable an a 4 ounce weight cast that out let it set. The others two guys were still throwing jigs and cut herring searching for a keeper ling. Of course the only one of us without a steel leader hooks up but its only long enough to get a positive ID on it being about a 20" ling and then snap.... Shucks.... (That was on a white 5" grub). After that it was slow nobody got hit for the next hour and then my shark rod get bumped one solid time then nothing... 20 minutes later we were fartin' around at the other end of the pier and we all hear the clicker on the shark rod start screaming. Run over and its fish on. about 15 minutes into the fight is when the video posted above starts ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzU8QKkGG0I ) Mike or Arron i may need help attaching the video. The six gill is pretty warn out and twisted in the line by this time, i apologize for the video's poor quality it was quite a ways down to the water witch made it difficult to record on an IPhone in the dark but i figure its better than nothing. Carefully released what came to about an 8 footer off shore.By the way we were targeting salmon shark not Six Gill because they are illegal . We stayed for a while after that only catching a couple flounder on herring. All in all it was a pretty slow night for how we usually do but was really nice to get out.
