and just about anything else that they can catch near the bottom.

One time on a Crew trip my buddies girlfriend caught a ling in the Pt Loma kelp that went just over 20lbs. HUGE! When I cut it I found a bass (appeared to be calico but was partially digested). The bass this thing ate was at least 2.5lbs.

I love catching lings, Glad they are open again, gives me a reason to fish LJ.
