4/5 Bottom Grabber

[blackcloud9]

Stomach contents -> this ling had a good-sized fish about 6 inches long,
possibly a Blacksmith perch, in its belly and a huge amount of small eggs
of some kind (yes INSIDE the stomach with the perch!), and a bunch of
fish bones and other stuff too. I know that they love to eat octopus,
and just about anything else that they can catch near the bottom.

When they bite, I don't give them any "room to run", and my drag is locked
down on 40# to pull like hell or they'll get into a cave.

As for color, sometimes they just get that turquoise color, but its still the
same exact kind of fish - there is no difference.
