title would of been "fish dragged me 18 miles out to sea and got eaten by sharks". That is awesome you tried, go big or go home, that would of been the 2-3 million view video. I might try for some albacore soon. Props on letting go the rock fish at the end, always nice to show the audience its okay to let keeper fish go.

[@theragingswede7561]

Would have been a more modern "young" man and the sea

[@jimbo4612]

BFT still here, Albacore? water temp isn't right got to warm forcing them north towards Oregon on the fukushima current. Also the Daiichi report post the Fukushima disaster might indicate that the Albacore need TLC as well. Fukushima fckd up waters more than anyone wants to believe,

[@Fishing247]

Nice Halibut and nice gaff job. Safe fishing.

[@fishhunt9874]

I use a length of black tubing as a gaff guard. Tie it with the long length facing toward your gaff handle on the back side of the gaff. That way when you uncover the gaff point the tubing does not get in the way of the point of the gaff. You will never lose it like that tennis ball because it is permanents attached to the gaff.

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks for the tip!

[@robbergstrom943]

I love the huge aspirations. When you hook up on your 600 pounder one of us will pick you up out at the Farallons.

[@thuyho5693]

👍

[@stephanieluke1138]

Blue Fin also "love" squid Tight lines

[@DieHardFishing]

I'll radio you for the pickup

[@robbergstrom943]

Standing by on 69

[@arkster00]

You know that they're not catching BFT's right outside of the harbor right?

[@steelviper1]

Bluefin are and have been within 2 miles off the the SoCal coast right now.

[@jimbo4612]

IT would make sense to pair up with a BFT boat then launch the kayak after finding jumpers. The stealth approach would be in your favor and second you would have some support to deal with a BFT after the catch. This method has worked in several world wide locations why not Central-Nor cal.

[@jimbo4612]

Cement ship has some Sea bass in the mix worthy a great You tube and doable if you can handle the crappy air from the recent fires.

[@antonosnovich3491]

Was waiting for this video! Dont give up dude, we need to see someone catch bluefin on a kayak up here

[@jcm5343]

Good try! Trying is what matters. Btw, Chris Belvins caught a BFT on a kayak down south. He has a video of it on YT.

[@ogoe_joeoutdoors1088]

You beat me to the comment

[@sanddabs159]

Blevins

[@cheethoe]

Yup and Blevins ain't the only one either, I'm disappointed with these click-bait titles.

[@DieHardFishing]

Yeah I saw it! Crazy!!! Trying to be the first one to do it in the Bay Area

[@wormdrowner95snag46]

"NO GAFF IN THE HAND" Thats always a good day!!🤣😎👍🏽👍🏽

[@CesarGonzalez-kt7vp]

Always feel good when you catch and release!

[@matburn88]

I tried to do the same about 8years ago. Ended up catching a 5ft. Thresher. Trying to get it on the kayak was the scariest 5minutes of my life. Ended up losing my paddle due to his long tail. Floated for roughly a mile before a boat saw me and helped. Best time of my life! Still got the urge to do it again. Pics are up on my ig

[@DieHardFishing]

That sounds epic!!!

[@kumaboyy.7443]

Nice hali and rockfish, Adam! Enjoyed the vid! Thank you

[@mickeymelton66]

Nice fishing day. Thanks

[@moondog-HMB]

BFT from a yak, that would be stuff of legend. Dude the albacore will be offshore anytime now:)

[@jimbo4612]

Water is really warm for albacore but we can always hope. BFT are within 20 miles however some giants in the mix as well.

[@alecstollfuss211]

BFT drone spot fished from a yak.. make a name for yourself if you pull that off hahah

[@chrisakins2574]

Yeah some one else already became the legend and did it. It's on KZbin. This is straight spam! Hes just posting weird titles to make money!

[@ChooseFreshAtSubway]

@@chrisakins2574 you care way too much bud

[@theoldsurffisher1943]

Adam; nice laid back video with lots of technical informational commentary. WOW! I really like the looks of your new gear; especially the hali rod, it looked like a sensitive tip, backbone, and lots of eyes. Although recently some have said gear doesn't matter much when bottom fishing. If you use that rod on salmon I don't think you would have to pedal much for pressure/tension. You can't catch a big one if you don't try. Stay Safe

[@I_am_archie]

What Rod do you have your Lexa paired to?

[@carter7371]

Both Kevin Nakada and Chris Belgians have caught them in LJ area back during El Niño

[@DieHardFishing]

Nice!!!

[@johngrant478]

Is that monterey? I caught a 154 pound blue fin with J@M fishing about a half a mile off shore of pebble. It was a 2 and a half hour fight, and all 6 of us on the boat took turns battling it. Bro if you would've hooked in up on your kayak you probably would've end up in Hawaii.

[@kellyplumb3561]

Hell, my 6 pound BASS faught like a 2000 pound shark!

[@ronmexico4350]

Do you ever get thresher sharks up that way? That would be epic on a yak!!

[@ronmexico4350]

Do you get any bonito fish around there?

[@Ivan-ve5qd]

No one can ever take desire or hope away

[@pa1264]

It dosent look windy where you fish alway nice and calm awesome video nice catch.

[@chmellen]

I feel my guardian angel when I fish.

[@logisticsnail5014]

Man I’ve been watching soo many East coast fishing vids it feels nice to watch some west coast fishing, this channel is literally so cool to watch and always entertaining 👌🤙🔥💯 tight lines my man ✌️✌️

[@kauaimurph]

I like the moxie but have you ever caught a big bluefin? Only fish to ever kick my ass. Trust me, I’d highly recommend that: 1) jump on a boat in SoCal and experience bluefin tuna fishing from a sport boat (if you have not already done so) so you know what your up against; 2) always fish with a buddy yak or boat (better) when targeting tuna (trust me, you will need the help); and 3) have a boat ready to track you down. In all likelihood, you will be in for a multi hour fight and could easily end up several miles from where you started. Most guys targeting big pelagics from a yak always have a support boat to lend a hand.

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks for the tips! Hopefully some day I will put them to practice!

[@kauaimurph]

@@DieHardFishing a couple more tips. 1) if I were to target bluefin, I’d launch out of Carmel Bay as your best shot at close to shore is probably off Cypress Point. Deep water is just offshore due to Carmel Canyon. 2) you might want to consider trying a kayak/mothership trip out of San Diego with Islander Sportfishing. They typically go to San Clemente Island. Plenty of bluefin down there, not to mention yellowtail, WSB, and big calico bass. You’d have a blast and your subscribers would love it.

[@saganblake-welsh7670]

Keep fishing for those Bluefin! you will get one eventually.

[@joshjerge733]

A dude on the Islander mothership trip by Fish Village (hit them up!!!) Hooked up on a bluefin last year on his kayak. Dragged him around for about 5 hours before it finally pulled the hook!

[@jesuslopez924]

Where do you fish? My daughter and I would like to take a trip up there. We live closer to san diego.

[@ogoe_joeoutdoors1088]

No need to throw such a huge bait for BFT. I've caught them on 7" sardines

[@dhtrapper7894]

Great day on the water none the less whether you catch anything or not! Could you go over your new set up or put links to see what you are using now? Catch the big ones!

[@devilkicln]

Is there a size limit for browns? What’s the bag limit on it too? Can’t seem to find it on dfg website

[@rommelalba4904]

I was fishing for Salmon in bolinas 3-4 wks ago and we were warn by one of the kayaker that one of his buddy caught a BFT there where we were fishing and he was darn right bro. I was trolling for salmon and all of sudden a BFT jumped maybe 20 yrds from my right side of my kayak where i was at . It was my first time seeing BFT in the water jumped near me. Too bad i didnt have Gopro or anything but it was beautiful site to see nice shinny one with big Y tail and dark eyes. There were Bait Ball everywhere during those time to so prolly chasing them. It wasnt deep either. 40-50ft. So yeah maybe next time around im gonna bring some heavy set up and try.😁😁

[@alcid2466]

Nice! quick question where is that at? I'm trying to introduce my son to fishing and trying to find a good place to take him, so he can have a blast. thank you for your awesome videos!

[@YakLocal]

Love your channel. You got skills, just ordered a sticker 👍🏻

[@kellyplumb3561]

Fish on DIE HARD! LOOK OUT FOR THOSE BOATS BEING DRIVEN BY ZOMBIES ☺️🙏

[@kellyplumb3561]

Fought..lol spelling

[@kenvo3037]

Is this HMB or monterey?

[@tylerwatkins9516]

What is the new setup you are using?

[@bwcok7947]

Big rock fish! Awesome!

[@johncoon3132]

Is the bag limit for Halibut 2 a day or year?

[@briansewelloutdoors8404]

3 a day where he is its 2 a year in Washington

[@DigginSoCalOutdoorAdventures]

Wow. I recently sold my Hobie...forgot how organized & flexible you need to be to fish on one....Can't wait til you hook up and go for a ride....

[@markcollins8648]

I like the show , why do you fish Santa Cruz so much ? Do you live here ?

[@reeceadams384]

What is the new rod you got

[@reeceadams384]

The new rod You were using for catching the bait

[@TravisDoesKayakFishing]

Nice looking fish.

[@DeCCofficial]

dang thats crazy

[@kellyplumb3561]

Do you ever have sharks following along getting the fish you caught on your stringer?? To me, you're like a floating food truck for shark's...lol

[@jackcoy361]

Ran across this video a few days ago... If you want to see a blue fin caught on a Kayak kzbin.info/www/bejne/fH7ckn-ZgLZ3iK8

[@israelrivas134]

Not bad, one day what was your setup?

[@leenelson5823]

Do the fish on your stringer ever attract sharks?

[@haroldtakahashi8875]

💛...not to put a jinx on you, but it seems that after every potentially bad event, the outcome develops into something epic-ish...so, i suppose...

[@DieHardFishing]

lol, guess I should have cut my arm off first

[@_beez33]

Epic (purples). Legendary (oranges).

[@rrkona9389]

Howzit, do you tie any of your equipment? You have some $$$ stuff! 🎣 Good luck on the Bluefin! 😎🤙🏽

[@iphoneE-video]

is this your favor location? i want to go too good view

[@bumpedhishead636]

Hey! You promised to tell us about the new set-up!! No fair!!

[@Z-Bart]

Why do we fish? Just for the 'Halibut'. 😎

[@juancarlosorozco3487]

Badass video!

[@twopassionsfishing386]

Great video friend

[@timeless_realm]

Looks like a mackerel

[@rubydahberryFTP]

Yuba city thanks you for the video

[@ericcruzstealth]

You mean off Cali, cause they have been caught off kayak elsewhere brah

[@DeCCofficial]

Please take me fishing

[@salnichols94805]

Cedar plugs!

[@zepofile]

let's see a die hard fishing catch and cook.

[@castingwithcole5180]

Does anyone notice the number on his Walkie talkie?😅Lol

[@logisticsnail5014]

I was gonna say 😂

[@HazardousCliff]

That’s the kayak anglers radio channel in NorCal...we all use channel 69 for comm

[@castingwithcole5180]

I didn’t know that. That’s still Funny tho

[@100bgeagle]

Sometimes bluefin are caught by fishing for other species!!!! Plan b you never know!!!!

[@belcebu5907]

Nice nice young adam

[@giftedsheepministries2955]

GRAY WHALE??

[@RGutz81]

Really dope that u r even targeting them. 3 of my friends lamded 2 in a boat this season and took them 2.5 hours. For one and 2 hours for the other. Can totally imagine that battle u would have. Tight lines brah, great vid as usual.

[@Bo_in_Seattle]

"Chasing bluefin" 🤔

[@ehumaui4087]

My coworkers said I should try...ya right. Did you see any sharks?

[@soccerlacrosse4life7ross8]

Did anyone realize the 69 on His radio at 58 seconds

[@papaschneid]

Kayak channel.

[@leoroyo2031]

Every fish has never been caught....what to do you mean? You marked that fish that you’ve been chasing?

[@Hook2Cook]

Yep... that .00001% chance is worth it. If anyone can do it, it’s you

[@House-of-Lords.]

Edward glad to find you here , you see you need a kayak , a question for you and die hard fishing ,I wonder if I can use dead squid for halibuth ?..

[@skamok7]

Lexa HD?

[@chrisakins2574]

Bft already been caught on youtube!!!! Change ur title!

[@briansewelloutdoors8404]

He is saying in the bay area in California

[@marcuslarwa9098]

Don’t know about the Bay Area but many people have caught big tuna from a kayak. It’s actually not that rare, one guy from Hawaii has caught a lot from his kayak. He catches tuna like u guys catch lingcod

[@johnshilling2221]

Pretty bold statement since kayaks existed for centuries before the white man first stepped on our shoes....

[@chrisakins2574]

SPAM!! SPAM!!!! Wheres the fish that's never been caught. AnD like in your other comments it already has been caught just not by you!! Its already in youtube. Nice try!

[@Pestingandfishing]

Bro just chill plz haha. Not a big deal
