THE STREAK IS ALIVE - Monster California Halibut

Commercial fishing for California Halibut along the California coastline from my kayak. The fishing can be tough this time of year but it can pay off big time for those who put in the time. After several days/hours of trials and tribulations, I was finally able to make it happen and put a huge California Halibut on my kayak. This fish was so greedy it bit both of my live baits I had in the water. How do I know? Check out the video to see my detective work to solve the mystery!

In your next video for halibut can you review the weight, leader length, hook size and swivel set up? Thanks -- everyone is rooting for you with these big ones!

Great suggestion! I've done it in depth on my patreon but I will give a general overview next time out!

@Oldvolks44 4 ай бұрын

If you purchase a Hayward rig for halibut you will have the perfect live bait pre tied set up. Just replace the treble hook. Hope this helps.

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!

@DieHardFishing 4 ай бұрын

Yes super cool to see just how they attack the bait from the bottom!

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!

@reesebender6756 28 күн бұрын

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.

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. 😊

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.

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?

It's not a halibut even if it's called a halibut, it is however still a very big specimen so good stuff:) For the haters=it is technicly a regular flounder with the Fluke as it's closest relative. It is NOT considered a halibut...

Just for the record, most Pacific mammal stealers are sea lions, not seals. Congrats on landing that big but. In SoCal, a flatty like that would be lucky to be boated before a sea lion tore it apart and away from you.

If you look at the exact moment the first big fish came off, you let off the pressure on the rod tip just a HAIR as you were distracted and talking to the camera.
