Couple of lovely ling there mate. You're right as well, bringing a ling up from that depth, it'll blow it's swim bladder and never go back. I've found a lot of the really big cod won't go back, even from 60/70 metres and gassed out before landing. It's a shame, but that's just the way it is.

I had someone have a pop at us for killing such a specimen. Like chopping off the branch your stood on . I would have loved to get a photo and release them back safe and sound . Instead it will feed us for a while to come

I think using a fixed spool reel on such fish is optimistic

[@westcoastprojects01]

It's a big heavy duty reel . I've used it for shark fishing
