You are a LEGEND bro! I have been watching you for about 4 years now. Thanks for always getting me pumped for my own kayak fishing trips up in Humboldt, CA! Thank you for the no BS fishing content! I almost drove down to the sportsman's expo in Sac just to meet you. One day I hopefully will. Can a fisherman be a fan of another fisherman?? You rock bro, never change!
Probably my favorite video so far. We’ve all been there. It’s like I tell my son and his little buddies you can do everything right and still lose because the fish gets a say. Awesome fish!! The struggle is real.
Love your channel ...Hey I fish for Halibut down in San Diego, thought i would give you a little advice. When they pop off like that just leave the rod there and don't reel. I cant tell you how many of them jump back on. Tight lines buddy
Adam while watching your video I was reminded of something that although not specifically about fishing it describes you perfectly. 'So let us not give up...for in due time you will reap, if you do not tire out.' (Gal. 6:9) You work tirelessly Adam! I appreciate you so much. 😊
Nice one! last time I kayaked there I lost my gear, it rained on me, I got stuck in storm, and got sea sick! The italian restaurant next to the boat launch has a great food though ;)!
Great videos brotha me and my son enjoy watching you fish from your kayak...you make fishing from your kayak fun. I been pedaling close to shore with my kayak. Never fish from it, I would like to go out there with my son. How far away from shore would be a decent distance to fish from
getting me excited for the upcoming season. still a bit cold up here in BC and im new to kayaking, but my goal is to catch some striped surf perch and lingcod this year to start!
What a streak! Good on you. Going to take an exploratory trip in March OP. My freezer is near empty except for some blue fin a friend brought me. Need to start stocking up. I'm sure I'll see you out there... somewhere... Tight lines!
Great video man. Im in san diego looking for some nice halibut from shore, are there any tips, tricks, and spots that you could point me in. Im not from california so im new to the west coast fishing. Im dying to find some nice sized halibut.
Halibut like that are occasionally caught in Coos Bay by salmon fisherman trolling cut plug herring. Biggest one I've seen was about 45 pounds. Most are 10-20 pounds. They are a pretty rare catch. Think I've only caught 3 or 4 in 20+ years of salmon fishing in Coos Bay. They always ID as California halibut.
What thickness is the wetsuit? I have a 4/3mm wetsuit i use for surfing, and i think i would be burning up if i used it out kayak fishing. You dont get too hot in it?
I would like to get your opinion on my boat and how it would compare to your kayak. I have a nice Gregor 14' aluminum with a 25hp motor. How do you think it would compare with your kayak as far as safety and buoyance out in the ocean any where where you would go with your kayak?
Wow! 14 straight months and here I am, a fresh water fisherman who want to hook a hali now 😅 tried 3 times but never caught one before. Not even a shaker 😭
Dude, great vids! Don't bypass those Sardines for eating. Highest omega 3 nutrients in the ocean. Beautiful But too brother. I like to fillet them. Steaks always cook dry and the bone doesn't add any taste, contrary to popular belief. P.S. Just ordered a 3.0 Farmer John Wetsuit from NRS based on your rec. 169.00 not bad.
Matching the teeth with the bight marks was genius. Getting to see exactly how that halibut bit the bait was a great thing to learn. Tight lines mate!
Yes super cool to see just how they attack the bait from the bottom!

I appreciate that! I’m sure our paths will cross at some point! Looking forward to that day!
I fish this same area pretty regularly and ive never come close to one that big! Good stuff man
Nice work with the CSI forensic bite mark research. :) LOL! Way to go man.
Thanks! I'm ready to join the FBI if fishing doesn't work out for me
How wonderful you are able to stick with it!!! Congrats!!!
Probably my favorite video so far. We’ve all been there. It’s like I tell my son and his little buddies you can do everything right and still lose because the fish gets a say. Awesome fish!! The struggle is real.
Love that!

Thanks for the tip!
best advice forreal, for some odd reason, not many people do that... it's shocking how many we get that come back
Be patient for them too, sometimes it takes hours to come back…
Best kayak channel fishing man . 🫲
Great CSI work aligning bite to bait!
Hey Adam! Nice reward for your patience and determination. Great video!!
Nice congrats, not giving up way to go bud.
Wish I could get a hold of some of those fresh fish. You do an amazing job!
Thank you, friend, for sharing your experience about how to fish very well,👍

Quite the awesome smile as you brought that halibut in! Great job!!!!
Yes! Thank you!
Really cool lining up the bite marks man, awesome stuff!
🤜💥🤛
Thanks 👍
Beautiful fish! Congrats again Adam!
Congratulations!
It's hard work but so worth it.
Great work as always, thank you for sharing
Way to grind it out! Definitely paid off! Nice HALI!

You got this!
What a streak! Good on you. Going to take an exploratory trip in March OP. My freezer is near empty except for some blue fin a friend brought me. Need to start stocking up. I'm sure I'll see you out there... somewhere... Tight lines!
Nice! Yeah I’m sure I’ll see you on the water!

Effort/persistence pays/paid off. Not like summer fishing. Congrats!! North or south of SLO??
Beautiful Hali! Would love to have one like that!
Another monster, Adam. Keep going.
Nice fish, Adam! ❤
Thanks! 👍
You would of been so mad if you would of lost that halibut. I know I would be. Nice catch .definitely the biggest halibut I've ever seen you catch.
2:13 those are 4 perfect snacks! man, those look tasty
Halibut head shakes are up and down giving them the unique bounce shake
Hard pays off 💪🏼 🎣
Awesome Monterey halibut lot of big females love this area 🎉
Nice catch...great videos. it was nice meeting in alameda by Rockwall. This is David if you remember..
Yes I do! Nice meeting you too!
What harbor did you launch at in this video? I’m just getting into salt water fishing. I live near Placerville so not really sure of the landmarks.
Look like Monterey big flattys always in the Rey!!! In august we get them 40 plus pounders 🎉
Amazing man keep it up!!
Nice catch.
Halibut like that are occasionally caught in Coos Bay by salmon fisherman trolling cut plug herring. Biggest one I've seen was about 45 pounds. Most are 10-20 pounds. They are a pretty rare catch. Think I've only caught 3 or 4 in 20+ years of salmon fishing in Coos Bay. They always ID as California halibut.
What is the black reel you’re using. Great video again
Nice job Buttermilk!
Love your videos. It’s like seeing Short Round twitch the voice of Kermit T Frog and Patrick Mahomes.
Hope to see you in LJ soon, yellowtail homeguards are super hungry 🍻
Can't wait!
Awesome vid! What kind of kayak do you have?
Great job 💯👍
What thickness is the wetsuit? I have a 4/3mm wetsuit i use for surfing, and i think i would be burning up if i used it out kayak fishing. You dont get too hot in it?
Nice but! That hook set was the best I've seen in a while. Where do you put in, somewhere near SFO I'm guessing? Tight lines
Another stud !! 👍
how do you determine where to find mackeral when on boat or Kayak?
Just look around until you find them!
I would like to get your opinion on my boat and how it would compare to your kayak. I have a nice Gregor 14' aluminum with a 25hp motor. How do you think it would compare with your kayak as far as safety and buoyance out in the ocean any where where you would go with your kayak?
I’m contemplating making a run, you in sf bay or half moon? Keep up the good work, you are getting some quality when you do land one
does the current/swells get bad out there? Don't know if its a good idea to take my peddle kayak out
Lover your videos man! I kayak fish in SF bay.
Thanks for watching!
Can you use sand dabs for bait?
nice job!!!
Wow! 14 straight months and here I am, a fresh water fisherman who want to hook a hali now 😅 tried 3 times but never caught one before. Not even a shaker 😭
4th time is the charm! 😁
How deep is that area ?
BIG FISH 🐟 The streak is alive!
Nice!! About what depth did you catch that halibut?
On that first bite I think you reeled in a little too fast and lost him - you had him😂
What kind of reel do you use?
Dude, great vids! Don't bypass those Sardines for eating. Highest omega 3 nutrients in the ocean. Beautiful But too brother. I like to fillet them. Steaks always cook dry and the bone doesn't add any taste, contrary to popular belief. P.S. Just ordered a 3.0 Farmer John Wetsuit from NRS based on your rec. 169.00 not bad.
killin it out there! Who needs to fish in the bay 😂
Is this not in the SF bay?
It looks like in Monterey Bay off the Soldiers Club area
Would it be easy to see your bait underwater while trolling and caprure the strike?
You should be able to with an underwater camera
Sand dabs are great lingcod bait
Nice. Where’s the place at?
Oooooooh dear we all know that feeling, get a hook sharpener keep em deadly , great videos thanks for making them
Hey Adam. Did you launch from ML harbor? Keep the streak alive.
What rod are you using?
In socal lizardfish is known to be a really good halibut bait!
Good to know!!!
Excellent
Where on the Calif. coast are you fishing?
It looks like off the Santa Cruz coastline
Good one Cheers
As others said. It would be great if you showed your rig set up.
How many halibut are allowed this year
I recognize Monterey Bay- fish it regularly.
What line do you use
Braid for mainline, fluorocarbon for leader
do you catch and cook?
I kind of need that since I love to eat seafood but never get to go fishing... :(
Yes I do! But I also catch and sell. I have a commercial license for selling halibut
Nice..made me hungry..
Where were you fishing?
Need to use circle hook
Oh, I hope your next Kayak will be one with a motor and pedal assist. 😊
How migratory are those halibut?
I’m not sure! It would be interesting to find out!
Would you ever switch to Seadoo fish pro ?
I would be down to try it!
Nice!!
Did you catch this under a sport fishing license or commercial license?
Nice slab
where you fishing at
You didn't mention which NRS wetsuit you have??
Looks like a lot of your bites are later in the morning or afternoon might be a good way to attack them in the winter
Definitely!
did you get a bit sore from the paddling
Yes!
I usually find San dabs and lizard fish in a halibut stomach
Yea Boy
Where is this ?
