Mystery Shipwreck with HUGE Lingcod and rockfish!

- While fishing out of Kodiak Alaska, I dropped my Gopro down in a spot where we'd been catching lots of good Lingcod and Rockfish. I could see this large lump covered with fish on the fishfinder, and I figured it to be a rocky reef like many others in the area. Imagine my surprise when I checked the footage at the end of the day and found that there was clearly a shipwreck down there, one of some substantial size???
It appeared to be fairly new, as the debris field at the start of the clip showed some white plastic hoses, like what you would see on a commercial fishing vessel, so maybe 20-40 years old? The overall structure didn't seem to be too far gone either, not rusted away from the saltwater. As for size, I think that it was probably close to a hundred feet long, but without more footage it's impossible to say.
The depth was about 160 feet down, which is diveable with special tank mixtures. I'm going to keep this exact location in mind, and someday return and dive on it! What do you think? What kind of boat, how big, how old do you think it is? Let me know in the comments!
Awesome! Thanks for the footage, and please keep us updated on your discovery!
Will do!
Very cool. Thanks for sharing, from Minnesota!
Cool to see the deep / cold water corals.
@@907kat right?? I’ve gotten my deep water dive certification just for this wreck, now to go dive it…
Wow, that's an interesting way to discover a wreck.... depth sounder and a Gopro. There's probably some record of the identity of the ship somewhere.
Somewhere, but I haven't been able to find it yet. I think it was probably assumed to be sunk somewhere else, because no vessels that I can find in the archives answer the little description/location I have. But I've teamed up with a couple guys and we're going to try to go dive it this next winter and find out what it is, and check out all the Lingcod and other critters on the wreck! Hopefully that video series will be out sometime next spring!
@@AlaskaWhaleanddronetours Yeah it must be hard to keep track of all the vessels that sink in Alaska, could be a fish boat or a navy vessel. It would be pretty cool to find that out. Let us know when you do.
How deep is that wreck? Thx for awesome footage
About 170 ft deep.
Were you ever able to identify the wreck?
