I needed help holding my Lingcod

This is first mate Craig holding 2 nice Yelloweye's

The Lingcod are very very aggressive. We were fishing with light tackle for Black Rockfish (Black Bass) and when reeling in the Lingcod would often grab onto the bass and not let go. Even at the surface you can see the Lingcod has a death grip on the bass.
