Nice pictures!! Thanks for sharing! I always enjoy when y'all post photos of places I have never been, and probably will never have the opportunity to visit, especially the Alaskan and saltwater variety.

As a salt novice, I have to ask, what in the Sam Hell is that fish you're holding onto there? A Cod? Based on its iridescent eye, I'm guessing its from deep water?


That is a Ling Cod not to be confused with "Alaskan cod" you might see on a menu at a restaurant. We catch them off the reefs and rock piles at 30-120' I don't know their deepest range. They can weigh north of 60lbs but around where I'm from a 30lber is the gossip benchmark and that one was about 23. The one I'm holding in the smaller picture was 27
