lingcod4
Large lingcod (Ophiodon elongatus) are seldom seen in areas under heavy fishing pressure. At Hopkins Deep Reef, one encounters mostly runty ones like this. Though, the fisherman's heartbreak may be the photographers joy: small lingcod are nicely proportioned against a backdrop of Metridium farcimen.
