2nd dive of 2014 2nd Lingcod of 2014. I punched this beast through the side with my polespear and he booked it for the opposite exit of the hole. I couldn't fight him long enough and I had to let go and swim for air. I didn't have a float line and when I came back the fish and the spear were gone. I scoured the area and found him holed up not far away. At this point I borrowed robs speargun and put him down. It took many drops to pull him out of the hole he was in with my spear still stuck in his side. Much thanks to Rob for supporting me on those drops. Fish was taken in 55' of water.
