Adam, you are a great fisherman. I love how you took a simple idea -pokepoled eels for lingcod bait and went out and executed it to perfection. Keep up the amazing run.
I love when you try new things. I know its going to be good when the video starts with “hey guys I’m going to try something I’ve never done before” keep it coming
I used to fish like that in a 16' wooden skiff with a small outboard and felt like i really needed a bigger boat. Can't quite rap my mind around how many holy hells would have to freeze over before I would do it in a kayak!
Hey, I just found your channel! I grew up in Sonoma County and commercial salmon fished with my grandfather for 12 years out of Bodega bay. Hearing the fog horn took me back! I loved pike poling as a kid and later as an adult! Monkey Faced Eels are great eating!
I enjoy your videos very much as others do. I want to suggest that everyone make every effort to have the proper safety gear on as you do. The time you had a boat hit you is example that a bad situation could get 10 times worse without florescent flag, vest, whistle, radio, flare, and even wet suit in cooler waters. Everyone's safety is paramount. Great videos!
Watching this video, it blows me away that I haven't seen other youtubers (Fishermans life, Outdoor chef life, Philosophy D, Etc.) try this... Smart thinking doggy! Well deserved monsters!
Seeing that 36" ling made me think that perhaps we should be voluntarily establishing a max size too- the rationale being those very large fish are the best breeding stock as well as they tend to be like you said more beat up, and also have more parasites so less appealing for the table. I'm gonna go for the 22" to 30" size class for keepers and let the very big fish go in the hopes they provide the best chance for more fish in the future.
Got blown off the water with the wind and friggin GRASS at Berkeley today... The grass was ridiculous all over the flats! Went all the way around the old pier and the same! 🤕 Same yaks as yours. Those are BADASS! Keep on keepin on Adam!!!
This guy’s prep-work is phenomenal. Everything is where it needs to be. Also, the positions of his cameras are perfect. Nice job, dude. Wish I could taste some of those Lings...
You want lingcod.. I don't care where you are. You pin on an 18" octopus on like a 7/O hook and drop it to the bottom. If they are there you will know! HOLD ON!
Alex Jetter: To be honest I don’t fully remember. I only did it once just to see what it was like and it was several years ago. I think I skinned it like a catfish and than cut it into steaks and fried it with a mix of salt pepper and flour.
I used to catch lots as a kid. Even set out eel pots to catch them. You skin them and chunk them up. Fry them in a pan with a little oil and salt. That’s all my grandfather used and that’s all I used and they were delicious! It’s the flavor of the eel that’s the showcase! They do squirm in the pan though...lol! Don’t worry, they’re not still alive...
You rock as a fisherman I truly enjoy you channel. I’ve done the Polk Poling before they are good to eat also. But I would not trade a Ling for one. Tight lines.
Dang man you’re killing it! First those huge halibut and now these monsters! Love your channel bro! I like that you’re the cameraman and fisherman! Not like those RUclipsrs in FL that have a crew! Man, hope your channel grows! Way bette than those idiots catching fish in sewers and ponds and cameramen!! Keep it up 👍
Quite the reward when an idea (try using eels?) comes to fruition. Well done, those are two really nice looking Lings. Loved the hookset on the second one, great visual, I too thought "Dinosaur".

About 4 months ago I went out in the reef close to home in the yak and got hit by a bullshark kayak sank and I swam 80mtrs back to shore 🤣😭 kayak sold hahahaha good old Australia 🤣
I went 60 miles from Houston today to Freeport Tx and the water/surf was extremely rough. No luck, except two Hardheads! Maybe next weekend it will be better!
Here in Massachusetts I fish the same way for monster stripers. I three way live eels with 4-8 oz of weight. Usually a crank off the bottom and drift around bridges at night. Deadly!
Great content here. Thank you. Ill definitely keep on this site. Ill subscribe NOW. Thanks again. I can't get out there so ill enjoy watching you. Lol. Nice job !!! Beautiful filming.
Epic. What a beast. Do a catch and cook on the eel. Their bones are small enough that you don't even know they're there when you're eating them. They taste great too 😋
Yes! Awesome catch bro! Striper love them eels too. How about another eel video but trying for striper? Love it! Waiting on my die hard long sleeve t! See you out there!
The Monkey Faced Prickleback (Eel) is one of the finest and most pure white meats I have ever tasted. You can order it in some up market restaurants in San Francisco. It is one of the hidden gems that the Pacific Northwest offers. While it starts out as a gelatinous blob that you can barely filet, it firms up in the pan and becomes a delicacy if it is cooked right. You definitely want the bigger ones. I was a skeptic until my step son brought one home after a spearfishing day on the Oregon coast. I am now a believer.
A safety recommendation: Get a blaze orange beanie. I know you already have an orange vest and flag, but more orange -- and more up high -- is safer. Often boaters are multitasking and not really watching where they're going. Be as visible has humanly possible.
What area are you in ...tell us more about your set up...how to rig...type of pile...reel line...I just got a hayak...took it to reservoir and caught some bass ..would like to go sea fishing...novice ..who wants to learn
What a wow!!!!! That was great!! Could that be Jun that gave you a thoubs down?? When I get the boat going I have to give eal a try. The only live bait I have used on the charter boat is squid or dabs.
It be easier if you tied the hook and monofilament to a stick instead of your rods to catch eels in the breaker wall. A stick about 2 to 3 feet works perfect. The polynesians mastered this craft. Using your rods is doing it the hard way. By the way, good video!!!😁🤙
New to your channel and fishing of this type anyway, why was the second fish not blue like the first one (and please don't tell me it was because she wasn't as cold lol) Nice catch- new subscriber!!
Just got a kayak a while back I'm a rookie learning from you big help damn those are some studs like you said is that Half Moon Bay . I have a Berkley eel with two hooks already in it the ones you buy already pre-rigged you think that works . Nothing works like fresh bait I know I'm a mostly a sturgeon fisherman but getting into the kayak stuff thanks in advance🍻
Adam, you are a great fisherman. I love how you took a simple idea -pokepoled eels for lingcod bait and went out and executed it to perfection. Keep up the amazing run.
That was amazing bro, great ling's. Every time I watch you fisherman's life and outdoor chef I have the uncontrollable urge to go out and fish.
I appreciate that!!!
@@DieHardFishing Same here man Santa Cruz in ehr house
Because it’s easy to out fish all of them lol!
So good to see you putting fish back and your concern for staying in limits wish you the best of luck ☺️
I love when you try new things. I know its going to be good when the video starts with “hey guys I’m going to try something I’ve never done before” keep it coming

Was awesome doing some fishing together! I'm glad them eels worked out! First drop, too!
Thanks for all the help bro! And for the music too!!!!
What did you have on the end of the line to catch those eels?
John Wyman squid. It stays on the hook well and you can reuse it multiple times for multiple fish
@@coreyjbeats1357 Great! Thank you for the quick reply.
Nice Lings. I caught one last week. Same size, but only 18 pounds, skinny on big black rockfish. Great video Adam.
Nice fish!!!
Watching this video, it blows me away that I haven't seen other youtubers (Fishermans life, Outdoor chef life, Philosophy D, Etc.) try this... Smart thinking doggy! Well deserved monsters!
Really solid work. No bait is ever too big for Lings!!!!
Seeing that 36" ling made me think that perhaps we should be voluntarily establishing a max size too- the rationale being those very large fish are the best breeding stock as well as they tend to be like you said more beat up, and also have more parasites so less appealing for the table.

I don't know what this guy does with all this fish. He literally keeps almost everything he catches!
@J G risk black market fish money for youtube money?! Bad play...
let it be.. that's his record catch.
@@Henfishitydog don't hate man.
@J G definitely a joke.
Not only are you a good fisherman but you are also a good film maker and commentator, making your films interesting and exciting. Congratulations!
Kudos DH! Well produced and edited video. Thanks for not cluttering it up with a bunch of loud and obnoxious music. Tight lines amigo...
I like to roll the eel in the dry beach sand so I can handle them easier.. great job catching these!
Your fishing was very good, your fishing equipment is amazing, congratulations on catching beautiful fish.👍

11:15 he said "I'll bonk him" after talking about how beautiful the fish was
You want lingcod.. I don't care where you are. You pin on an 18" octopus on like a 7/O hook and drop it to the bottom. If they are there you will know! HOLD ON!
AMEN
Fact
Come fish So Cal bro! I wanna see you catch a big Yellowtail at La Jolla
Dude, I would love to do that!!!!!
@@DieHardFishing ill see u here man-Jonah G
Awesome inning man! 👌🏽I'm gonna try this eel for bait hopefully it'll work here in south africa. Thank you for the great videos.
"Ahh, feels good to get a fish!"
Then proceeds to get the crap slapped out of him!
Great catch way to go!!
You should do a catch and cook with the eels. I caught a 5lb eel a few years ago and it was delicious.
Outdoor Chef Life did a good one.
ruclips.net/video/c_TgxEqYfTo/видео.html
How do you prepare it, always has a weird taste to me

Great video man i been waching your vids over and over again for couple year doing great job
My friend lost a finger to an eel in some rocks like that in Miami, FL. Gave me nerves seeing you handle them! Cool video
You rock as a fisherman I truly enjoy you channel. I’ve done the Polk Poling before they are good to eat also. But I would not trade a Ling for one. Tight lines.
Good stuff. Congrats. Love the music, also!

About 4 months ago I went out in the reef close to home in the yak and got hit by a bullshark kayak sank and I swam 80mtrs back to shore 🤣😭 kayak sold hahahaha good old Australia 🤣
Kayak washed up on shore 4days later as well hence why I sold it lmao
What kind of bait were you using to catch the eels
Probably squid
a smaller eel
I’ll be out there on the salt soon still gearing up lol
Epic video brother...thats one of my bucket listers right there.. Actually they both are..the monkey face and the ling
"Corey is gonna show me how to do it"
>proceeds to completely show up corey at his own game haha love it!
Ling Cod, I remember eating at a place in Half Moon Bay, called Barbara's Fish Trap, the fish sandwiches, I'd move to Cali just for that.
Nice fish Bro !! Great idea to use eels 👍. Big bait gets big fish !!😆
I think I'd want a bit bigger boat to fish for those critters. Nice stringer. A big Ling. Good eatin.
Nice catch Adam! Nothing like using the real deal eel, but you should check out "reel eel" plastic swim baits. Cheers man!
Good game plan, and you stuck with it. Nice!
New to this channel, very nice videos i watch lot of gulf and Atlantic fishing videos but loving the Pacific, Thank you sir.
Great video nothing more fun then catching big ling on light tackle.
Great catch man! Love your content, keep them coming because I always look forward to you videos when they drop.
I went 60 miles from Houston today to Freeport Tx and the water/surf was extremely rough.
No luck, except two Hardheads!
Maybe next weekend it will be better!
I gotta try this bait next time. It was nice seeing you out there. Fish on!!! Too bad it was a shaker. Still fun though. Hope to see you around
Here in Massachusetts I fish the same way for monster stripers. I three way live eels with 4-8 oz of weight. Usually a crank off the bottom and drift around bridges at night. Deadly!
Would be really interesting to see underwater footage using eel as bait.
Congrats om the Big success, love the vids and keep doing what you love. Much love from Norway brother
BADA BING BADA BOOOOM!
Great content here. Thank you. Ill definitely keep on this site. Ill subscribe NOW. Thanks again. I can't get out there so ill enjoy watching you. Lol. Nice job !!!
Beautiful filming.
My fav episode right here
Was talking to my friends about using eels for live bait a while ago... Good to see this happen
It’s a great idea, they are very hardy fish and will last a long time.
Epic.
What a beast.
Do a catch and cook on the eel. Their bones are small enough that you don't even know they're there when you're eating them. They taste great too 😋
Greetings from Oregon. Great video. Nice catch.
Thanks for sharing. Great day for you!
First video I've watched of yours....that hookset on that second fish was brutal!. Nice vid!
A video on poke pole'n would be legit Adam. Awesome video brother. Those ling's were massive man. Dinosaur fish 🦖🦕
Can you show how you "bonk" and bleed out your catch?
Yes! Awesome catch bro! Striper love them eels too. How about another eel video but trying for striper? Love it! Waiting on my die hard long sleeve t! See you out there!
Could you do a video or post what equipment/kayak setup you use.
“Ooooh thats a dinosaur right there” 🤣
Great catch bro
Love fishing. 84 ,had to sell my boat, kids scared I fall over. You need bigger boat 20 ft , hi sides. Great vid. Fla ol bank fisherman now. 🐻
“I just got two in the same hole” hahahaha that’s what she said!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bahaaaaa

Heavy metals. Let the big breeders go and take the just legal ones.
dinner85 right there with ya. Awesome to see a big ones but it’s a shame we’ve poisoned our own home
What a great day! What a great video! Nice job on both counts. 😁
Breaking bad with those monsters. Great video
What area are you in ...tell us more about your set up...how to rig...type of pile...reel line...I just got a hayak...took it to reservoir and caught some bass ..would like to go sea fishing...novice ..who wants to learn
This was a well put together video man, one of your best in my opinion!
Nice monster Lings. Those eels were the ticket.🤙
dude that is sweet. What a cool idea.
Eelin' with feelin'. Miss catching and cooking those
I love when youtube recommends me GOOD fishing channels with 3xK subs. Means you have a great channel that'll hit 100k soon.
Nice job man. Nice Ling! Keep it up bro 👍🎣
Nice Catch
Great new meaning to the words poke polling Lol
desparately underrated channel
I was wondering... "IS IT A GOOD ONE"...??? FFS...!!! LOL
Awesome video. What rod and reel combo are you using?
Awesome catches those lingcods went crazy by the boat
That was awesome! Catching a giant ling off an eel... amazing. Heading out next week... tiny window in the weather. Hopefully... thanks for posting!
Crazy!! That did look just like a dinosaur.. Wow! 15.5 ?? I thought, for sure, 20 lbs.
Almost there.. Im excited to receive my face cover.. Thanks!
What a wow!!!!! That was great!! Could that be Jun that gave you a thoubs down?? When I get the boat going I have to give eal a try. The only live bait I have used on the charter boat is squid or dabs.
My favorite bait for lings and reds is live mackerel with a 7'0 hook.
These lingcod way bigger than what fisherman's life catches. Good job buddy
OMG😮 Something tells me....ur going back for more eels 🤙🍻
Have sharks or seals ever taken the catch from your stringer?
Hey if you get tired of pedaling let me know! I'd love to take you on my boat for Salmon!
It be easier if you tied the hook and monofilament to a stick instead of your rods to catch eels in the breaker wall. A stick about 2 to 3 feet works perfect. The polynesians mastered this craft. Using your rods is doing it the hard way. By the way, good video!!!😁🤙
Who in the hell would unlike a video like this. I mean, it baffles me just thinking about it. Insane day of fishing!
@I C No.
I C no.
Dope video bro. Gives me the giddys, makes me want to get out there and fish hard lol. Keep up the great content🤙
What reel are you using? Any recommendations
Nice catch. What sort of boat is your friend running next to you out there?
New to your channel and fishing of this type anyway, why was the second fish not blue like the first one (and please don't tell me it was because she wasn't as cold lol) Nice catch- new subscriber!!
