Such a cool video! I am happy to catch 1 short for the day lol. I might die of excitement if I caught 7 legal halibut in a session. I didn’t realize you can fish halibut in the kelp like this! Thanks for sharing!
Halibut surf master at it again! Well done Gary! That second one with large scar looks to be a gaff injury. Maybe a pair of Boga grips(lip grippers) would be helpful for landing those boys while wading ?
People stop asking him where is the location 😂 he would share or put in the link if he wanted to… Just drive like he said until you see a promising spot or shit load of kelps
You mind giving me an idea of where you are? Doesn’t have to be the exact place. I know this is northern Cali but which part? We never get action like this in SD.
Where do you even find that much kelp in California? It's been over ten years since I saw kelp this thick in CA. I guess there's no urchin problem there.
Be careful how you grab those fish when hooked. I put a luckycraft right through my finger at 5am in the surf trying to unhook a legal halibut. He shook and hook went thru my finger and i was attached to halibut for a second it wasnt good luckily he shook himself off
@@lloydchristmas1086 yeah that's not great. The thing about these weedless hooks is they're big and just one hook. The lucky craft trebles are essentially 9 tiny hooks. A lot easier to hook yourself
This but loving mf is in bootey land I have never seen structure looking so good I'm guessing that is Santa Barbara nursery land or notorious Santa Cruz please let me know
99% of the kelp forest is gone. The entire nearshore habitat has disappeared. Climate change. There is virtually no kelp left in Northern or central California. Thank you, humans.
While some of the kelp forest is gone, there are still plenty of extremely thick kelp forests in Central California. Have not fished Northern California so cannot say what the situation is there
@@californiasurffishing Thank you for the reply. Having lived adjacent to and within the kelp forest (surfing, diving) it's a sore point. 99% of the kelp forest from Monterey Bay north is gone. All the species, all the fish, all the former divers and fishermen and women. On top of the end of salmon fishing, and all the other species going extinct. Personally I would never show a damn thing on the internet, you're simply speeding up the extinction of all these animals. My 600 friends will be at your fishing spot, next time.
Fishing is more than just having fun, it’s a hobby and lifestyle. The fish will live, call it what you want but “torture” is a bit much. Take a chill pill, grab a rod and go catch a fish or somethin 🎣!
…the camera man has som dedication! Who else can watch someone slam fish and not join?! Solid job boys.
Thanks man! He is super patient
WOW what a sesh!! So many legal halis… I’d be lucky to get one for the day 😂 great job!
Thanks man! Was a blast, tried not to scream too loud to not spook the halis
Best as always! Thank you for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow this is amazing even in the kelp!
Thanks! The kelp makes it even more fun

Very lucky to have a fishery where this is possible. You the man Stan!
🔥 🔥 crazy bites! Great job!
Thanks man
Outstanding 👏👏👏🤓
Thanks 👍
Wow! What great catches!! There's not many extensive kelp beds left in CA. Sea otters vs, purple sea urchins!
Yes it's awesome seeing this much kelp
This is great - it is like a forest but in the waters
That's right!
And it's all gone away... Look it up.
Let’s go!!! Texas rig for the win!! No canary y’all 🤙🏼
Love the Texas rig!
Love that beach
cant believe water so much warmer and yet still got kelps..glad to see that.must be well north of GG
👍 we'll surely see the kelp shrink in the coming months

It's a good idea, I should get good at using those!
*Sweet !!* *_Longitude_* and *_Latitude_* please ~~
Super sick video 🤙
Thanks a bunch

Lol 👍

Yup we are not in SD. Definitely farther north than that
Where do you even find that much kelp in California? It's been over ten years since I saw kelp this thick in CA. I guess there's no urchin problem there.
No urchin problem. It's worth driving to find the structure
Hate to ask but where were you fishing. Looks like home in cen cal miss it much. Lots of time ine surf.
Probably not far off from where you're thinking 🤙
What waders and boots would you reccomend?
Simms!
Hi what rod and reel are you using. Thanks
@@user-vv3cq6fk6w rod is in description. Reel is Daiwa Fuego lt 4000
Fixed! All the fish are planted and closed in by nets.
😂
Was this high tide or low tide?
Low 👍
What part of California?
More Central area
AWSOME! Please let me know? Bullet weight or no bullet weight you said all up weight just weighted hook and bait!
1/4 oz bullet 1/8 oz on the hook
What spot is that located?
There are a few similar places to this in Cali
Can I pay for this spot ?
We've never sold our spots 😮
What part of Cali is this?
What hook do you use?
Owner beast in this session
@@californiasurffishing
Awesome, thank you! Going to have to give that setup a try. What size hook?
@@Rooki3_ 4/0
Get a go pro ? That way both get to fish
Yeah we like using GoPros too, wanted a different look for this vid👍
I like how it’s being narrated! What a cool vid! Dudes are absolute slayers
@@ShorelineC much appreciated!!

@@californiasurffishing Yeah for sure your right. Good video btw!
Is that possible? That is what my brain said when I saw the title.
Ha. We've never caught this many legals in a session before; very grateful for what the ocean provides!
Great job! So much vegetation there 😢 No need to go weedless there?
Te falta la boga buena pesca
@rubentapia8710 You make no sense at all.
Disculpa no era para ti el comentario😅
Thank you! The Texas rig 3/8 oz is actually extremely weedless. I didn't break off once during this session
what do you think caused them to stack up like that? was it near a grunion run?
Nice kelp and sand mix
talk about honey hole! I'd keep that place a secret even from a bf, lol
These guys don't care if they burn your spot 😂.
@@bert1234 they never tell the exact spot
Yeah it's really fucking stupid to make a RUclips video about a secret spot.
What you don't eat halibut ??
@@MegaBait1616 I release almost all my fish 👍
Can you fish with barbed hooks in California oceans !?
Yes you can 👍
nice buts!
😛
Te falto la boga grip buena pesca
We love fishing

Former over hunting of otters is a major factor to loss of kelp forest
Why do you torture fish? Either catch and eat, or do not catch. Catch and release just for fun is torture.
Catch and release is a widely accepted practice. Whenever you catch a sublegal fish you have to release it anyway
@@californiasurffishingSome countries have no regulations or limits. That’s why we still have fish to catch.
Fishing is more than just having fun, it’s a hobby and lifestyle. The fish will live, call it what you want but “torture” is a bit much. Take a chill pill, grab a rod and go catch a fish or somethin 🎣!
@@ShorelineCW cory
more like torture to watch and not know where it is...
I saw many dinners 😆
Dinners released 😂
