Awesome! These videos definitely have me wanting to give trolling a try this year 💪

Nice video and catches!! 😊

Make sure you have a Commercial Ocean Enhancement Stamp if you plan to do commercial on White seabass south of point Arguello (Sancta Barbara). This stamp costs 64 bucks. Halibut wise ,technically taking more of the smaller overstock halibut and releasing the bigger breeder size would help the fishery the most but its a huge ask for commercials who are suffering as is with so many restrictions , license fees and operating costs.

Where do you keep all the ice on that commercial vessel?

Great video bro. Awesome fishing. 💪🏾💪🏾

Adam, always enjoy watching your videos. It was nice to run into you last weekend at Tahoe. Paul

Nice fish! I miss the stripers! Down here in SoCal, we don't have them. I had some great striper days in SF Bay, off Pacifica, HMB, and up the Delta.

Really good day for , Got a question, planning to go out at oyster point with 12-15 mph winds on a small boat this Saturday, u think that advisable?

People buy striped bass too, you know. They make great tacos. I definitely would have picked up that 30" from you.

Nice catch Adam, glad to see you back after the halibut, bet you can't wait for the rockfish season to open back up? I bet your just itching to get some big lings again? It's been awhile.

I think those jets went over me up at Fort Bragg too...

Nice way to get the day started with a double, keep it Adam 🎣👍

Always finding fish. Im waiting to be taught. Good job man, another solid video.

Great Fishing Adam.

Any chance i can get a boat launch of where this video is taken?? Got a small boat and just got myself a new 9.9 Outboard. Looking for some places to fish for halibut that i can get in and out fairly quick, just in case wind comes up and conditions become not so favorable. Thank you

Caught your limit of hali + bonus striper! Non stop action, Adam!

Maybe if you experiment with the different swim bait size/brands/ scent it might get closer to the herring hooks. As the water warms up the swimbait might start to have better action in the water too. Im a believer in procure scent.

Knee driving with a bagel on the freeway...classic

Bagels sliced and toasted with butter is awesome. Yummy flavor choices too. I have to take issue with the title.... I don't know if you are "The WORST COMMERCIAL FISHERMAN in the History of Fishing"... but you are one of my very favorite KZfaq fisherman and I watch quite a few. Always enjoy your content. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures.

Nice day on the water😊Thanks for the education 🙏

Throwing nice eating size striped bass back. In KY, White Bass and Striper are good table fare and we catch them in freshwater. I caught some in the Chesapeake Bay, when I lived in Philadelphia. I liked to smoke them in my smoker. Yusuf should try them.

Hey Adam...what size lamiglas is that? I have the 8'6" x11 ...you think thats too long for this type of trolling?

Love your vids!! ❤️🤘🏻

Awesome video!

what speed are you on when you are trolling on the autopilot?

Do you ever have any bigger fish or seals try to eat the fish when you have them on the stringer floating behind you?

Great day of fishing Adam!

Man, I’m the same, I don’t keep every keeper I catch. Just enough for a meal. And yes I’ve lost fish after bleeding them out. It’s a dam shame.

What reel is that??

What’s your set up ?

Bagels are to healthy. Doughnuts , pepperoni stick and a Pepsi breakfast of champions for fisherman

“Wonder if all the left sided halibut hangout together”🤣🤣

Dang good from a Yak. Saw a commc'l fisher last week at Oyster Pr marina docks. He unloaded 17 butts from his 22' center console fishin' boat. Loaded up his fish in back of his pickup. Then shoveled ice from bin#2 to fish bin.

You assured my question about the 2 rod in the bay.

Why didn't you keep the striper to sell , is there a market?

Herring has scent; Just add some scent to your swim bait

It was a pleasure to finally meet you in person today, was not happy that you kicked my *ss at the weigh in 😉 good job on your catch, at least I got bit by a Pro! Moshe

I enjoy your videos all your tips and information. Do you need a special license to commercial fish safe travels out there

Adam, since you're not that fond of cream cheese on your bagels, have you ever tried salmon? I make a salmon salad with broiled salmon, liquid smoke, lemon, wasabi and a little mayo. Not as good as lox, or smoked salmon, but good on toasted bagels if you have fresh fish.

I have seen a big striper like that in years. I only caught 5lb like stripers in recent years.

Where I live in Delaware we call call Stripers, Rockfish, and we love eating them.

Looks like the fishing is picking up a bit. What size swim bait is that 6”?

That fish will survive, I've seen worse... you can try a using a speargun used for diving with a break away tip and that gaf can go in the trash. I wish more fisherman were like you regarding the commercial take, some are really bad, keep the videos coming

Giving me the itch to get back out there!

Nice strip 2 We fish for them on the regular. One of my favorite 4 sure

What rod is that with the lexa?

Just curious how fresh they are just hanging in water no ice?

Next year, lots of under size halibut, all the keepers are getting caught this year, just like 2008 salmon season closer, much pressure with all the party boats staying in the bay

Awesome job brotha. Have you looked into treating your commercial catch like they do for upscale/sushi markets? Brain spike, bleed, spine tap with wire, ice slurry? Better quality, better shelf life. Always enjoy vids. You're the best commercial fisherman... from a yak!😂

Cream cheese is over rated and no one can ever change my mind. 😂 Blueberry bagels are where it's at.

Killed it on the fishing. That striper though, huge. Never seen one that big from that spot. Best fish of the video.

You're my favorite commercial fisherman. Maybe one day I'll be able to make the 2 hour drive to get a halibut from you.

You are not driving a Tesla. Keep your hands on the wheel 😂

Is that true even if you pay for the second rod stamp

How many rods in the water can you have when fishing for California halibut?

Nice fishing 🎣 wish I was there never fished the sea

I hate losing a fish and knowing its chances are not good. Nothing goes to waste in nature though. Some predator or scavenger will get it and the crabs will get the rest.

I love a poppy seed bagel with butter. Second choice is cinnamon raisin with butter. And I enjoy your channel. 😊

I love my lamiglass x11 too

Love your channel here on the east coast. So, how about you just drive. So we can keep enjoying your content.

GOTTA GET THE LOX W BAGEL... IS THE BEEZNEEZ

Another bare handed grab! What a boss!

everything bagel with jalapeno cream cheese all day

Cool video and concept for fishing but generally commercial fishermen operate from a boat. I’d be too worried about tipping over out there in that kayak. Have you ever lost any that you caught and were towing behind you? I’d think with a wounded fish being dragged behind you that it would attract other fish to feed off it. Do y’all have dog fish over there? Never mind on the dug fish question. I didn’t realize you were in California.

2 years ago same thing 4 me. Mine was a good 32” or so… gaffed him… pulled him outta da water… and he went berserk. Flipped off the gaff?!?! That’s fishing 🎣

The smaller halibuts are better because they don't have as many parasites.

can't believe u let that go

Not commercial. Do you have a market to buy your fish? How much per LB do you get? Thinking about selling my boat and buying a kayak.

I agree brother

Fresh shrimp from Florida for me tonight. I had to peal and devein them but they were yummy grilled.

Nets are bigger but when fish is inside...no worries

Adam where are you fishing at in California. My friend wants to get into that, I told him I don't think you can make a living doing that. Am I wrong? He wants to buy a Kayak and do exactly what your doing. He wants to fish out of Oxnard CA

put your damn hands on the steering wheel....sheesh

Literally catching fish left and right 😆

Everything bagel or blueberry with cream cheese

"What is up with these halibut".... Ummm, dear fisherman, I just had a gaff jammed through my body. If you don't know, one just might wiggle frantically in discomfort.

Ya or eat before ya go. Definitely need something

What was with no hands on the wheel? Are you using a self-driving car? And you need a checklist that includes all the things you need to bring, including BAIT. But you are WAY FUN to watch!

I’m not criticizing you K. I want to use two rods in the bay. We received a ticket long time ago. Is it ok to have two rod ???

make a video sharpening the gaff

Healthy? Sure, just like apple fritters. Too bad about the lost fish. Maybe shorten up your gaff handle? That's a long lever. Tight lines

Adam, great new content, have a question, sport fish like strippers, can you gaff them in the bay if there legal limit ?

eyes on the road. hands on the wheel. give the driving/filming bullshit a break

Gotta have the pizza bagels!!

Why did you cut out the part when the fish got off the line? The video cut from the fish shaking the gaff to a slack line. What happened? 😉🤐

I love bagels with butter.😃💯👍 . Or you can make a breakfast sandwich with your bagel

Just curious why you bother with the gaff? You still have to bring the fish close to the yak, and I feel like netting fish would be easier and more beneficial. Specially in this case.

Great day of fishing.

It’s an insult to bagels everywhere

Another great day of fishing. Do you really want to trade in your kayak for a trawler?

Loxs and Asiago bagel

I understand that you can’t fish near all the amateur fishermen now where you have a commercial license😂😂.

You should sell the stripers.

👍👍👍👍👍

Trolling is lazy fishing.

Bro, STOP DRIVING AND FILMING! Hands on the wheel!

You redeemed yourself with the cinnamon sugar bagel 😂 Toasted with cream cheese it’s actually super 🔥

Doing the whole bagel thing while driving, using your knee to guide the steering wheel gives me distracted driver automobile accident feels. On top of that, after you ate a couple bites and started sweating I got serious gluten sensitivity vibes. I hope you are ok, because I really love your videos. Please be ok.

Yeah I'm learning that if you simply say the words "swim bait" all of a sudden you're on with a striper! Thankfully they taste great!👍

That fish will most likely survive that
