Thank you for your research and work. Fishing for these species is a past time for my family and I. And I want it to last for many generations to come.

Only my fish nerd friend could have found this video and shared it with me. I mean, the swaths of lingcod and anemone forests and just otherworldly. It’s like these areas and the ones I dive in can’t possibly be part of the same ocean
-
This is possibly the best halibut channel on YouTube!
-
This video is amazing, Because it shows you how often they swim up off the bottom and don't always just sit in the sand somewhere.

Almost 50 years ago I lived in Alaska. The minimum size for a keeper halibut was 32”. We fished for fun on Saturday and caught tons of lingcod but threw them all back. We just wanted a halibut. Now the halibut are rare and the cod even more overpopulated! To restore the balance of nature we need to eat more lingcod!

The China Rockfish at 4:35 is actually a Quillback Rockfish. (Sebastes Maliger)

This is cool! Felt like a kid again. Thank you for your hard R/D

Those lingcod stacked up like Lincoln logs..never would have guessed that they gather in such large numbers. Where I've caught them their flesh is a soft turquoise to a deep turquoise. Some are kinda greenish. All are delicious.
-
I have never seen so many lingcod. That is amazing!
-
can you add the gps co-ordinates? just for scientific purpose not cuz I want a shot at those lings
-
Holy Mother of Lingcod. Lingcodopolous. Did the lings make their annual pilgrimage to Lingcod Mecca? Where is this magical place?!?!?
-
Why did you go all the way down there? Oh, just for the halibut.

That reef is infested with Lingcod . They do have egg nests , though they migrate to shallow where I’m at . You can know where they are , but the period of the bite is short each day . We’ve caught them with a few hundred salmon smolt inside as well as other Lingcod of EQUAL size , folded in half! The Halibut is a mighty foe , they will eat Octopus.

Ive been watching enough videos about the ocean that this showed up in my recommended
-
very cool video! I'm pretty sure the rockfish @4:35 is a Quillback though, not a China
-
Damn all of the good tasting fish are living on some alien planet in the ocean.
-
The Lost City of Ling!
-
9:40 the halibut's friends will never believe the story about the UFO
-
I've dived on the west coast and never so many lingcod in one place. Crazy!
-
I was gunna say the same thing. Definitely a quillback.
