I'm definitely interested to see any ling mounts. I'd like to do one of those. Their jaws seem pretty delicate, though I've never gotten one near 40lbs.
Yeah, Im not sure how that will work. They're quite a bit more narrow than these big hali chompers. I sent these photos to a buddy who is still working in the fish pit up there and he was so inspired that he messaged me to say he had cut the jaws of a big ling and was going to try himself. I'll update the thread with photos if he sends them to me.

It's amazing the sort of fish you can pull up when you're fishing undisturbed waters in the middle of nowhere. My big one actually came when we were mooching cut-plugs for chinook about ten feet under the surface in maybe 80 feet of water. I was really surprised to see one free-swimming like that, but I caught a few more small ones that were 50-100 feet off of the bottom.
