Creature Feature: Lingcod
Lingcod may be found statewide off the California coast. This fish lives at or near the bottom, in a wide range of habitats including rocky areas and kelp beds, especially where there is strong tidal movement. They occur most abundantly in water shallower than 350 feet, but will often go into deeper water and have been caught as deep as 2,700 feet off Southern California.
That last bit... have been caught as deep as 2,700 feet
That's more than half a mile down! How does anyone fish at that sort of depth?
