Reel is a Penn Battle 2 8000 series

10' extra heavy uglystik big water rod

Yeah so I knew it was legal size the measuring is more for people watching 😂😂😂 not that hard to judge a keeper and I usally don't keep smaller lings and there legal at 26 inch which is like 5.5-7lbs so not hard at all

Love the vid bro, love fishing out there but just a heads up it’s 26” from ear of head where the fillet starts is the legal measure, found out recently as well

@@bc4life88 what are the legal weight and size for fish to take in BC. Thanks!. As of today if they changed it.

@@roadweather372 not sure about everywhere but in my area (Victoria BC) it's minimum size of 65cm or 25.6 inches we usually say 26 inches to be safe there is no size maximum.. I personally keep anything over 30 inches roughly 10lbs anything smaller is not worth it for me but to each there own

@@bc4life88 Thanks man. Just caught a lingcod at breakwater last September 3, 2024 around 6:30 pm. 67 cm and it was 6.14 pounds! I'm happy, I finally caught my first fish ever. :)

Nice be killer landing one from a kayak

@@bc4life88 Well you can't just slide one between your legs like a salmon. I had to get a canoe at least you can boat it.

Thanks bud yeah me too great place to spend a day chucking gear and if your lucky catch some nice size fish

Lingcod fishing is open here in Victoria from May 01 till September 30th

Anthony van der Est sweet getting excited. also where did you get the extra heavy big water rod and what pound line?

Sorry bud didn't see your reply I bought one online and other I bought at island Outfitters for 100$ for 10' Xtra heavy ugly stick just the poll I matched one with a Penn Battle 2 8000 reel which is killer set up the other has my grandpa's old school fullmetal Daiwa reel which despite being old still slays fish with he best of them

Ogden Point Breakwater

Thanks and also what did you use to catch it

Lmao

"You got a cucumber...Ha! Ha!"...lol

Seems to be the only place I can catch anything lol just my lucky spot I guess

I'm using a 10' Xtra heavy ugly stik big-water with a Penn Battle 2 8000 reel

Thanks baby

Thanks

I use a basic drop shot rig -three-way swivel then I will attach an 18"-24" wire leader with a 9/O J hook or sometimes wire hailbut rigs then I'll add usually 30"-36" of mono(lighter than main line) from three-way swivel to my weight (4oz-8oz) then I use various Baits like whole herring whole squid octopus and leftover fish from the freezer like rockfish ect. I cast it out let it sit on the bottom tighten my line so there's no slack then wait checking it every 60-80 minutes if there's no bites

Yes lol my first one cought on camera

Thanks

Thanks bro it was a great fight lots of diving lol yeah it was weird I've cought afew now that we're eatting other fish when they ate my bait apperantly I have 1hater so far don't know why probably dosent like that I kept a bigger ling some guys get pissy about what size you keep eater it's to small or too big someone's always going to bitch

Yeah I see that it happens all the time I always say to hell with the haters if it legal keep it I keep what I catch dosent matter if it's 10lbs or 45lb my preference is I release anything under 10lbs

Likewise I don't keep anything under 10lbs if I can help it everyone has there own preferred size as long as it legal keeper then it's my choice what I keep my favorite are the people who watch you battle and land a nice fish then yell out you should release it like um nooo I here to catch a fish not waste money feeding them bait lol

RHYAK thanks it was good fun to land and I'll definitely keep on making my videos sucks when i take gopro off and miss a fish lol I missed landing a 21lb lingcod not 10mins after I removed my head cam but thee are more down there I'm sure

Nor Cal Livin' 4 REEL I believe that rod had 25lb maybe 30lb test line I usally use multiple rods and I've changed out my line since then lol hard to keep track

vicki mount this is right off the end of the Ogden Point Breakwater in Victoria BC

Stuart C. Fishing Prawns I also use dew worms alot

Stuart C. Fishing I used a pickerel rig that I removed one bar from. then added long bait line and had a 4oz weight to keep it down or jig it in the current basically it's a mini halibut rig lol

Marc Brulot-Sawchyn yes I just let it sit on the bottom 18-24" lead off the weight I try to set it in the current and drop it so it lands just off the kelp forest that surrounds this paticular area which does cause alot of issues and afew lost rigs lol

Steph Brulot in this video I was using a very simple bottom rig 6oz banana weight with a 18" steel lead with a 10/0 Hook with a whole herring for bait. also works good with octopus I just cast it out and leave it checking the bait every hour or so I also jig them 5" paddletail shads or curly tail grubs they hit them good as well. buzzbombs are effective..
