i started out the morning early at 6am to try and get a couple hours in before i had to meet my boss.

started on the alki side fishing along the rocks south of seacrest pier. missed 1 and landed 1 @ 22"
then headed off to meet my boss for a quick chat. on the way home i decided to meet a couple buddies down at pier 86. fished from the grain terminal to the pier with no hits. after going through a couple jigs and a couple squid i switched to a mooching style setup with a big black rubber worm.

i got a hit from a little rock fish and as i was reeling it in i got the feeling of snagging into some kelp. so i started pumping in the dead weight...after a few big pumps i felt a slight tap. then a couple pumps later i got the big headshake. about 10 seconds later up rises a big lingcod with my little rockfish in his mouth.
after a quick drop of the ring net, the lingcod was on the dock. measured out to be 33 1/2"

not bad for a quick stop to see how the buddie were doing.

talked to a couple other guys who had landed 1 @ 21" and seen 1 other landed that was also 21 1/2"
