Sounds like a nice day on the water. Did your dink red have any teeth marks on it? From your description, I would guess it was a ling that grabbed a hold of him and was trying to swim back into the rocks. Bummer he let go! Hopefully you marked the waypoint and you can go back and nail him next time.

Speaking of lingcod, has anyone tried dropping a mackerel down on the bottom in hopes of a Ling? Just thinking I might do that next time I'm out there.

Good idea, its easy to make bait on the way out. I was thinking of picking up live squid from the bait barge and dropping whole ones down there. Last we went out I had a tank full of squid but the weather permitted us from going out.
