Bob’s Big Westport Lingcod!

Our Lingcod and Rockfish Charter Trip

When you fish every single day, it is sometimes not easy to remember every little detail about every single trip, and that is exactly why I like to take photos. It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words, and when I browse through the fishing pictures from days gone by, it helps me draw details from my memory bank. I found this photo today from a great fishing day sometime last week.

Breaking In A New Fishing Rod

We had a group of folks on board that were a pleasure to fish with, pictured above is Bob, one of the our guests. Bob showed up to the boat to chit chat about our trip the evening before, and I could sense he would be a fun one to have on the boat. He brought his own rod and reel, which isn’t uncommon, but rare that a guest would have the perfect setup for what we were going to do. It was a perfectly matched rod for Lingcod and Rockfish fishing and it even had the same braided line that we use on our rods!

Monster Westport Lingcod

Bob had a new rod that he wanted to try out, and I thought it would be perfect for today’s Lingcod and Rockfish adventure. Later in the day, when I saw Bob’s rod double down into a hefty Lingcod, I smiled a little, glad that he had a chance to nail a respectable fish on his new setup. I didn’t weigh nor did I measure this monster Lingcod that Bob caught out of Westport, but regardless of whether it was twenty or twenty-five pounds… it was a memorable fish, caught by a memorable Bob.
