Only the old timers would remember this I remember customers complaining that they didn't want the ling all they wanted was the Whiting.

Pretty accurate actually... As a younger man, when the whiting and ling fishing was great, I recall getting sick of looking at a bag of slimy,poopy ling, wishing I had less ling and more whiting.. the whiting were sleeker, looked more like a game fish, somewhat better fighters, more aggressive, would slam artificials etc,,, Today I realize the ling were better eating... Still wish the Whiting would return... I miss them..... bob

I remember ling being called sewer trout I think there were other slang names for them too back then. They said if you don't gut them soon enough they would spoil fast. Well I heard that and always gutted mine right away and iced them down. Never had any spoilage and they were great eating...Charlie
