BLUE Flesh Lingcod From a Cliff Solo (Catch Clean and Cook)!

[@moondog-HMB]

Oh to be young again. Scaling those cliffs ain't for everyone. Thanks for taking us there.

[@Al_Moranas]

That feeding frenzy was crazy and not to mention the really cool transition 6:19 . Can’t wait for the next video man, I appreciate the effort you put into these vids. 👍🏽

Guy comes down rock in full climbing gear.. D comes down with fishing gear and rod in hand😎😎 Beast.lol

That spot is the Juice!!! Glad your liking the swimbaits bro!

Its ok no i understand lol but as long as viewers get a kick or laugh out of the name then that's all that matters 🤣

Got to get me some swimbaits . Been looking for durable and firmness.

Great way to start my Saturday while wife catches up on sleep. Guitar in hand, bowl nearby and the sounds of the ocean!! I learn something every time.

[@charlescoult]

Beautiful fish. Great vid. Your content is getting better Thanks to all the CA firefighters 🙏

[@iFishFreshNSalty]

Beautiful Ling bro! Cliffs and catch and cook go so good with each other! Good job bro ✌🏼

[@richs4878]

Great video. Thanks for sharing an enjoyable hike and fishing morning. Looked delicious too. Felt like I was there. 🙂

[@myfavoritespider]

Dude everytime a watch your videos im amazed by the editing. Great work man! Tight lines🤙

[@shoganai6152]

Try salting the fish skins to make trailer strips for buck tails and shrimp flies on future trips. Just a suggestion, I just don’t like wasting many parts of the fish. Especially if it’ll get more fish for you. Great video bro, be careful when you’re out there alone. Let family know the map Coordinates where you’ll be. Tether yourself off somewhere for safety my man. 😁👍🏼🍺🎣

[@darrellcook8253]

That's good advice, tying yourself to the rocks, wearing appropriate shoes and clothing and letting people know your whereabouts is critical. Tie yourself only to the distance to the water, no more. I've only fallen once and it was cold, wet and scary.

[@landonlaskey605]

Awesome vid bro love your rockfish and lingcod vids

[@mjo2303]

Bruh that ball cap ..certified veteran of the fishing game

[@MG._.MG13]

Nice filet job AWSOME video stay safe with all those Wild fires going on

[@atkpirate7831]

That fish is amazing. It’s probably soooo good. Any ya mad respect to all the firefighters and god bless them and the people who are dealing with it.

[@dylanwalker43wb]

Sick transition to the phone video. Nice video man

[@Ahmad-pu9ci]

That was some good advice about the lings being opportunistic feeders. I got to remember that and switch up baits when nothing's happening. I might have to hit up HMB this weekend and try to catch one. The air quality inn San Jose is garbage. Maybe it's better by the coast 🤔

[@nobrakes7567]

I just found your channel and I’m loving it! What do you use the skin for?

[@nicolaswalton2037]

why is the editing so good?!!! keep it up

[@zeldanrj3]

I laughed when you said that guy was crazy for climbing up there.. yet, here you are, doing the same thing to fish 🎣 hahahaaaa.. Deeeelicious catch n cook! Thanks Daniel

[@aarzadon]

Yoo that edit was sick going into your phone !!! That’s crazy how you did that

[@Tslee45]

Making great fresh content as always!

[@spriggsra]

First I love your vids. I am new to the fishing game at 48 years young. However I been cooking for a while and if you let the pan get scorching hot before you put the butter in your fish will not stick so much.

[@gbunton]

You and Matt back on the shore good stuff, he looked a little unsteady on those cliffs a few weeks ago, sea legs will do that to you lol, boat fishing is geat but I agree the shore is best.

[@Fishing247]

Nice Ling and awesome lunch, fresh and juicy. Safe fishing brother.

[@jimpetersen8095]

I used to work for this guy ad a driver. He would go to Brookings, Oregon and bring back lingcod and cook up for all the drivers..man it was good.

[@iBeeELTee]

Yo that transition at 5:21 though. Firr

[@johnkim8245]

I talk to my catches just like you do. Nice fish!

[@SilvermanAdventuresFishing]

Nice vid brother. You are part Mountain Goat. Beautiful fish. Now I'm out to catch my own for my channel. Hungry for sure after watching you. Organic fish just caught is the best. Peace Stay safe.

[@terryyang6877]

Nice capture with the dolphins

Nice 👍 catch and cooking yummy 😋!

Dope video bruh. Im from Vallejo but watching out here in the Philippines

That’s an amazing looking fish with the blue meat & all!

[@bigcease226]

Where exactly are you? Pacifica? Half moon bay?

[@TrialanError]

Daniel, good stuff

[@josephmarciano4761]

Every time I try what he's doing, I spend most of the time getting snagged, cutting the lures off, and tying on new ones. It's like throwing money off the cliff. What am I doing wrong? Too heavy of a swim bait that sinks to bottom ? Light ones just seem to flail in the wind.

[@marshallhelms6532]

Sounds exactly like when i go rock fishing.

[@jonaslira2979]

try weedless hook setups so you don’t get caught up in kelp/rocks

[@josephmarciano4761]

Awesome vid Brother...

[@idigbeeps4180]

Awesome video made me hungry watching you fillet and cook having avocado and tortilla would have Made it better😀

[@Bobshouse]

Ever see that movie where the guy gets his hand trapped by a falling rock and had to cut it off to free himself? Yeah, just happened to remember that when you were climbing down those boulders. 9:05

[@mjo2303]

Is there a best type of tide (high ,low) to fish those cliffs? Is high tide hella treacherous ?

[@namin10]

Amazing VIdeo Daniel!

[@fishgutsandglory5431]

Dang bro, nice ling! What brand of shrimp flies are those?

Nice ling! Stay safe out there! Cali is getting burnt!

Damn young D thats waz pire luck you gat that one .💪

[@joeysnip6799]

What area do you prefer for crabbing in sf?

[@druegeme]

Just what I wanted to see before heading out to the rocks tomorrow! For the plastics maybe 1.5 oz is too much? I usually start with 3/4 or 1.

[@makingmovesz]

anybody know what kinda vest hes rocking? i hate wearing more layers than necessary when im casting. it also looks like its heated?

what rod and reel you using?

[@joshboone4820]

Yeah I'm with ya ling is good cab I don't like as much but ling an blacks an perch an kelp green ling even china an black an yellow are so good

[@peterjacoby1295]

My question is. Do you need to use such a heavy test when fishing for a fish that may be 20 lbs top? Can you use a 20 lb test for main line with a 10 lb leader. Anybody?

[@darrellcook8253]

It would be a little light if you get hooked up with the kelp. Then it's a game of tug o war. Same if you hooked up with barnacles or mussels. And 20 lbs is the medium size for lings, back in the '70s you could catch 45 pounders which is their top limit. Sometimes its better to be prepared for surprises.

[@peterjacoby1295]

@@darrellcook8253 sounds good. I never fully understood test weight. Thanks for the reply.

@@conor.schick1 look in his other videos, looks like a med -heavy surf rod. If you want it just look for something in the 9 - 10 foot rage that can handle up to 4 ounces,.

[@Bobshouse]

11:15 That water color change was weird....I think it was taku...must of lost another salmon.

[@blkaudiofan]

I’m trying to get my first ling soon on my yak at a fns meet on the 18th.

[@krispy9601]

It looks strikingly similar to a snakehead.

[@jabrielwhite17]

Hey guys? Do I need a fishing license to fish off the rocks like in this video? I know that i do for sport fishing. Im unsure if its needed for this.

[@darrellcook8253]

Yes. Anytime you go out on the rocks in northern California you are being watched. You only find out about it if there's a problem when they loose track of you. And they also cruise for fishing licences and safe practices. I've run into the rangers before, they're there to help unless you are poaching. No wimpy guys and gals here.

[@jabrielwhite17]

Darrell Cook thanks for letting me know! I appreciate it greatly

[@MECH-MASTER]

Hahaha “ I know, I know, its a keeper” 👍

[@huihu3072]

halo I love your video !I translate some of the video into Mandarin

[@kaizenlife1152]

To what I’ve seen on KZbin. I think you’re supposed to keep the skin wet so you can stretch it out and then let it dry or it will shrivel all up. 🤙🤙

[@ecksdog]

Great video. New sub.

[@useless8303]

Does anyone have any spot recommendations for lingcod or rockfish? Im new to ocean fishing so I don’t really know where to look

[@darrellcook8253]

Anyplace you can safely climb down close to blue water. Around any kelp beds if there are any left. Damn sea urchins ate most of it up. That's the result of starfish wasting disease. Ocean cove in Sonoma county and Stillwater cove. My favorites.

[@useless8303]

Darrell Cook thank you, hopefully I can get some tight lines

[@markgarcia6299]

Wasshannin!!

[@yuvag.7247]

Man I wanna fish the ocean one day

[@balzonurchin]

I didn't know lings could be blue! Is this common in California?

[@darrellcook8253]

Yes. It's their diet, unlike the huge mushymeated lings caught in Alaska with yellowish flesh these eat a lot more shrimp and crabs. Rock greenling also has blue flesh and rarely, kelp greenling. Sometimes kelp greenling will have light orange colors and the meat tastes like mud. Been fishing from the rocks around Stillwater cove and Ocean cove in Sonoma county. Haven't been there in a while though.

[@balzonurchin]

@@darrellcook8253 I'm from Vancouver Island, and caught a lot of lings as a kid. Nothin' but white flesh here. I read an article saying that the colouration of blue lings is a _bile_ pigment. Biologists aren't certain how it ends up in the tissues though.

[@outdoorfreedom9778]

As Matt will tell you, it needs more butter!!!!

[@SpeedingSideway]

wildlife.ca.gov/Fishing/Ocean/Regulations/Fishing-Map/San-Francisco

[@Ivan-ve5qd]

CA Department of fish & game website. Look up the fish you’re interested in. Or you can keep watching these guys. Sooner or later you’ll hear them break it down. I also recommend watching @Fisherman’s life, @more than fishing, @die hard fishing. All these guys share lots of Bay area relevant info. Not sure where in Cali you’re thinking of fishing though
