He was BIG! ...easily 3 times the size of previous stubbies that I've seen. Even allowing for water magnification he was between baseball and softball size. Does anyone know how big they get?

Although I've personally not seen one this big, my resources all state that they can get up to 5 inches in length, which would seem to be about the size of the one you saw.
A perfect "snack-size" for a Lingcod!

The tiny ones would just be a tease for a Ling, this guy would have been a meal! I wish I could have gotten something in the background for perspective but he was already a bit spooked...More Pics Than You Have Time To Look AT

Re: Big Stubby
Diver_C and I saw 3-4 stubbies last year at Cove 2 on the boundary line at about 85fsw that were baseball sized.Tom Nic wrote: Does anyone know how big they get?
