I’ve had that happened before. It’s a hooked fish but snagged at the same time so you’ll feel the fish but barely any movement from the rod other than the bending of the rod, which is caused by the movement of your yak.
Maybe shark or ray, though usually those don't pop off given their anatomy. Definitely something that had to be over 30 lbs to bend the rod like that. Or...giant halibut?
@@hao2fish first I guess was shark, but your hooks and line were not damaged, it might be bat ray. But I rarely or never even seen bat ray outside the gate though. I had a giant bat ray drag me and my yak around half hour in the ARW last week😂, I did manage surface it and unhooked without touching. The head was bigger than mine 😨
Probably a lingcod that swam back into its cave. Best thing to do is free spool it and wait for it to swim out. I caught plenty of BIG lingcod that I thought was a snag.
Sorry you lost the big guy, very likely it was a bat ray. Good job on the lings
Thanks!

What type of fish do you think it was ?
Mine was a lingcod and since you were targeting lingcod my bet is that it was a big enough ling to pull into rock crevices.
@@heysuesaatch3362 good guess, I’m leaning towards lingcod as well
Sorry you lost the big one!!! Do you have a link to the rod leash you are using? Thanks
apologies for the late reply: here's the link to the rod leash amzn.to/3KXJI7S
Bat Ray For Sure.!!

Could’ve been a giant halibut. I landed one last year that I thought was a snag. Dead weight, but I peeled it off the bottom and it weighed 36lbs. 🤙
Oh wow, that’s awesome. I wish I was able to pull this fish up 😂
IS A ROCK.LOL
Hahahah 🗿🗿🪨🪨🪨
Im not an expert or anything, but Im quite sure what you hooked was some type of sea creature.
Hahah yeah
Ray
could of been a black seabass

I don’t think it was a halibut, it didn’t have the aggressive head shakes. But yeah I think it was over 30lbs lol
Probaly octobus.

It was snag by kelp, maybe rock fish got away in the end.
It didn’t sway up and down like it was caught in kelp, good guess though!

Big bay ray.

What would you do if you were out on the ocean and a huge swell came in?
😂😂I’d probably be scared
Triple digit Black seabass.

Yeah good guess, I feel like it was a ling back in its hole
Shark or ray
I feel like it probably wasn’t a shark since the line wasn’t cut at the end. Bat ray maybe ! Maybe you’ll catch it next time haha
100% sting ray
Ray
🦇🦇🦇, May explain why my line wasn’t cut
