No, we didn't target lings. We picked up several while fishing for sea bass, and a couple when I went in real tight for salmon. 2-3 were barely legal but I threw them back. Too much waste when they are that size so didn't want to kill them. Only saw a few lings at the cleaning station, nothing over 6-8 lbs though. Like I said, not many anglers targeting bottom fish those days, was really strange to see so few people doing it and only a couple of boats that went to Canadian waters for halibut & lings
