[@Ivan-ve5qd]

Also in Soquel?

[@daNki3st]

These spiny lobsters are my favorite to eat. I've been catching and eating these since I was 4 with my pops.

[@DieHardFishing]

So good! I'm fully addicted

[@OldManAndTheSea]

That’s awesome!

[@bobfish3176]

Spiny's are sweeter to me but miss the bonus claws.

[@theoldsurffisher1943]

A super interesting high quality night video. And a very interesting target species and fishery. The lobster really showed up well at night with your lighting.

[@DieHardFishing]

Glad you enjoyed it, filming at night is a learning curve for sure!

[@JohnJackson-e9z]

At least you got one keeper.

[@DJH3ARTL3SS]

Love waking up to some new vids!

With my eyes closed and listening to you, you sound like Ray Romano.

[@2ovd2]

Funny, my wife said the same thing & she was in the other room!!!😂

[@kiowaoh-58DIR]

I enjoy this channel. I live close to all the areas being fished. I'm just going to need a bigger boat.

[@outdoorfreedom9778]

When I was a film student in the 70s we used to go up to the Palisades area and there were lobster traps all over in that area. I was into other things so I never gave it a try. I was just out in the garage getting minor things done to my crab snaring gear. Duck season opens on the 24th but we didn't get a refuge reservation so that is out for a while. Can't wait to bring in that first keeper on a snare!!!!!!

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks for sharing! Crab season is right around the corner!

[@outdoorfreedom9778]

@@DieHardFishing At this time the regs say it will open on the 7th so we will be at our secret spot on the 9th and 10th. I'm going to make a few new snares. Don't need them but I need to keep busy!! Gene

[@williamchandler2494]

Great video, I was a diver for years my best two were a 9 pounder and a 11 pounder. The 9 pounder was good the 11 pounder was grainy but it was 44” from tip of tail to end of antenna. Antenna 1/2 the length of the lobster. Any way great channel I really enjoy your videos.

[@ohope]

Most skilled fisherman around Bay Area!!

[@fishsalmon8747]

Dude that's awesome catching them..never knew they had lobsters down there.. Thanks for sharing.. Fish on..🤙🏽😎

[@jamestownvirginia8463]

Totally opposite from our east coast lobster fishing, educational and thanks 👍. Eat hearty!

[@graylightfishing8743]

We started off fishing/hooping from Kayaks. You make it look so easy! Great video!

[@uprbutt]

the sound comes from them rapidly moving the joints in there long antennae

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks for spreading the knowledge!!!

[@adamyoung480]

Aloha, when you hear that when your diving, you know their around.

[@rosstafarian7483]

You looked like a kid on Christmas morning when you pulled the king sized lobster out.

[@morganyoder4277]

Cali spiny lobsters are awesome, but they'll tear you to pieces. Good stuff.

[@DieHardFishing]

You got that right!

[@JETTIEROCKSFISHINGwithMIKED]

Dude that was an awesome video brother. Congrats on a nice catch of bugs

[@DieHardFishing]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@robbergstrom943]

Looks like a good night. Reminds me of a crab snaring day on the jetty where we caught over a dozen crabs about a credit card thickness short of keeper.

[@GamelanSinarSurya]

Another awesome video, Adam. And yes, they do have teeth. A lobster can easily snap a pencil in half. Watch your fingers, my friend!

[@rogeliobravo4927]

NICE VIDEO!!!!! really cool to see some lobstering done around here in so cal lol

[@JP-se5ih]

Glad to hear you got a giant legal, hey man do you know where you can find cheap pedal kayaks that fit 2 people? Thanks man.

Ohhhh yeah dood, rad vid! Lobster fishing is my fav and there's never enough videos to watch. Would love to see more if you like doing it too. First trip and lands a fatty, well done brother!

Can't wait for the next one bad ass

[@papercitygamerjeff1437]

That looked fun!! Good eats!!!

[@brendahernandez9958]

Hi. Lobster season is right around the corner. How exciting. Could you please tell me where you were in relation to the jetty. Also how deep was the water, line length? Planning on going out there soon.

[@iseemud]

Just a note how to measure them correctly... Start at the top of the head, place the gauge in the head first and slide it into the groove between the horns and than measure like normal. with that said if you come in from the front there is a thin membrane there and the gauge will catch that making the lobster appear legal when in fact it's short! Almost cost me a ticket one night a Game warden showed me as we thought is was the correct size when in fact it was short by 1/8" He was cool about it and was very nice He said just return it and all was good!

[@2ovd2]

Awesome video! I live close to SD bay, have a cheap yak & never went hooping! Hmmm 🤔 seeing that & your first time out, may wanna give it a try! What do I gotta lose?🤷🏻‍♂️ ... my life I guess!?!?😂

[@richardl6188]

Nice! Were you at Ventura? I tried to catch some lobsters a week after opening day off a dock, but no luck. People had fished the area out! I had Spiny Lobster at Key West, Florida, and the meat from those lobsters are sweeter and denser than their New England cousins up north!

[@Justinbragz]

I only got one keep in Ocean Beach Pier. I got there a few days too late.

[@daddybee7411]

I love ur vids and do u know any good spots for Hali and lincod in the Bay Area ?

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks! Both of those live all up and down the coast!

[@shawnkiesel5349]

How do you see the buoys you put out..? Do you have them on your GPS..?

[@HAcera-hs3hw]

do they recommend you keep them in the water to keep them fresh (..drag them in a net bag..)? especially if you are fishing for hours...

[@lanskielance1358]

I could hear those waves. scary lol

So cal is a large area of what town were you at. I did that in the channel Islands breakwater You get two major crawls a night.

[@alleybuilds5370]

the ones that just miss are called "clickers" they call them that because it clicks over when measuring! where about did you go?

[@-AverageJoe-]

I've caught a few of them off the pier in ventura. Believe it or not it was on a fishing pole lol

Oh man,,,, that is agonizing.. lol Hey Be careful out there in the dark... Love the vids. Congrats on the first ever keeper lobster... woohoo. if you are into it the upper part of the lobster is great to cook down and use in Lobster bisque or other fish soups and stews. also great chum.

[@hotboyphil]

have you tried just going down with a light and catching them by hand? or its too deep

[@aumetalmental8403]

That was pretty cool. 😎✌️

[@adlam5810]

Was this a part of a kayak rental package where the kayak, hoop nets, lines, etc, were all included?

[@jcanigiu]

Also do you know any spots for Halibut around San Luis Obispo County

Hi guys, i am going to kayak lobster but i don’t know which GROVES will help waterproof, windproof warm. Helps me choose a good one.

[@360revolucion8]

Can you please be more specific where you do your fishing videos? So CA is vague and can be Anywhere like Santa Barbara, San Diego, Los Angeles (Long Beach), etc.

It’s San Diego bay

[@chimyshark]

nice vid Diehard, males have less meat in the tail, more in the legs, body, antennule segments. tastes the same as female though. 22:48 when you said crab season w/out thinking, that was hilarious. good job on your 6, if you want to see how to get a limit, check out my most recent vid, was able to get out there last weekend and catch some lobsters!

[@snowboardaddict71]

My dad told me about your channel and I've been watching your vids with my son. Thanks for the great vids! Can I ask if the lobster catches are in the sf bay area? Santa Cruz?

[@lincolnworsham1085]

Brrrrroooooooooo, I was diving at Anacapa Island and I saw the biggest spiny lobster ever! (Before you get too excited it was in the reserve so no hunting of any kind) but it was a huge (aprox. ) 8" carapace !!!!! I would be scared to grab him if he was not on the reserve....

Pretty sure the limit is 10 Dungeness at least here in Mendocino

[@stevehammond2016]

Enjoyed it and learned a little something , something . Seeing your lack of space in the kayak...I would second guess my self and tie a string/rope to the gauge , just to prevent the chance of dropping it over the side

[@DieHardFishing]

I actually had the gauge tied off too! I only took it off to show the big one on the camera. I too don't trust myself lol

@@DieHardFishing Well , there´s ¨ one ¨ instance showing that I know something !

Nice work man . What bait did you use ? And how long are your soaks ?

[@playdirty714]

Yes sir you are correct. Females have flaps underneath 8:47. Us men usually don't have flaps underneath unless you got drunk and was in Bangkok, Thailand. Got there with no flaps and came home with flaps. Hey Adam, just curious did you pay $15 to launch your kayak out of the launch docks or was it free? I know this place but never brought my kayak here. Any info is appreciated. Love your vids and I've subscribed along with the bell. Btw, my wife things you're hot.

You need to mount a dive light light on a pole as high as your go pro on your yak, besides using your headlamp..be safe out there ! A good light is tne Kayalu Water Torch 360° Kayak Light from Amazon, or go to a dive shop 👍
