Just after setting the hook, my rod doubled over and I knew I was into something bigger than the black rockfish we had been catching. I didn't let the fish take any line, and soon the big lingcod appeared under the boat. It wasn't until we lifted the net out of the water that the big ling spit out the rockfish that had eaten my fly. Strange things can happen out at Neah Bay!

Thanks go out to Capt. Chris Bellows from Topwater Charters!
