According to my buddy who fishes A LOT, you might have thrown back the best eating fish of the lot with that ling. We call them lawyers here in the Midwest, and my buddy would trade you two for one with walleyes to get hold of a freshwater ling, freshwater cod, freshwater cusk, mariah, burbot, lawyer, eelpout for the table. Not sure why that one fish has so many names, but according to Tom, delicious is one of them.
