I was told there were NO FISH HERE, so I had to prove them WRONG!

So this one goes back to a week or so ago when Taku (Outdoor Chef Life) and Nick (Nick Fish) told me they never want to fish this place again because there are no fish. Well, I had to take that as a challenge. I bet them I could catch a limit of lingcod in one day fishing from my kayak. Here is my attempt to take on this challenging fishery. If you like kayak fishing, make sure to check both of these guys out!

I will never disrespect your lingcod abilities again Adam LOL

[@tommynunnelly2567]

Hahahahaha

[@kross7894]

🤣🤣🤣

[@irre1evant425]

Adam, Out of all the fishermen that have channels on KZbin you are, by far, my FAVORITE! Why? Because no matter how many fish you score, you're ALWAYS so stoked to have caught one. You're confident as f***, yet humble about your skills and craft. Thank you for allowing me to tag along with you on your excursions. I appreciate you!

[@DieHardFishing]

I appreciate the kind words!!!!

[@richs4878]

“This feels like a.....a big one!” 16:29 😂😂

[@ramonestevez674]

Those cabezons really were named properly. Their name "cabezón" means "big-head" in spanish and they really have a large head-to-body ratio regarding volume. Bet that fish was tasty!

[@DieHardFishing]

It was!!!!

[@badmonkey0001]

"Where are you going honey?" "I'm going to go try to find some prime flesh!" "You're gonna what!?!?"

[@DieHardFishing]

hahahahaha

[@salmott]

Potentially Controversial Opinion: Adam is the best overall YT Bay Area fisherman! Especially between the big 5 (matts, taku, jun, ish)

[@shitboxoffroad]

Taku is garbage tier, fisherman's life is best, Adam is like 3rd for me.

[@salmott]

@@shitboxoffroad i disagree, I dont think matts is the best. He needs help catching fish and makes a ton of mistakes, Adam just does it.

[@diggity2966]

You Bay Area Fisherman should do a meet and greet at Outdoor Pro Shop in Cotati... The best tackle shop in the Bay Area!!! The turnout would be solid!!!

[@HideshiIzu]

Self promo? LOL

[@DieHardFishing]

That would be cool!

If you want to see Adam hit the water tell him there’s no fish there. ☺️

I like the challenge!

[@betocampos6220]

Lol there's no fish in Long Beach 😅!

[@kito1san]

16:28 Adam: Boys and Girls.. this feels like a.... a big one. ... Yea.. this is a good fish. 16:40 Adam: This is a good fish... Now I always say that.. but this one.. honestly. this gonna be bigger than the first one. *I swear.. this is a good fish.* Everybody: Uh.. huh..

[@DieHardFishing]

I wasn't lying though!

[@kito1san]

@@DieHardFishing No. You weren't. Good catch there buddy.

[@martinquintana5837]

No doubt in my military mind that Super Adam will find it and catch it. I was watching another fishing show when Die Hard Fishing's notification rang out and I went str8 to Die Hard Fishing. Very nice catch Adam you are truly a blessed young man. Stay safe out there. Aloha from Kansas

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks again!

[@morganyoder4277]

Gotta love when Adam posts, straight beast on the fish.

Great job Adam! Best of luck this year 🎣👍

[@teejay3872]

Love getting that alert of a new die hard video! Wasn’t disappointed hell yeah nice stuff man!!!

[@officialfisherpeople405]

Very nice. Vindication and validation are some of the sweetest experience one could ever experience.

[@fishhunt9874]

That spot lock feature is a great addition to the kayak. Thinking about a system for my boat but just can not justify the cost yet. When fish come unbuttoned early, halibut or lingcod as they let it go let it drift back down on frees pool! Sometimes they will just pick it right back up.

[@dartagnanv8der613]

Lol. Fishing greed ethics 101… if you don’t want others to fish “your” spot, tell them “There’s no fish there!” Thanks for sharing the spot 👍🏽

[@alfredluna3]

Great fishing video. I totally enjoyed it.

[@tschmoney9805]

I watch these videos while i eat dinner. Appreciate the effort dude!

[@kumaboyy.7443]

Send a pic to Jun, too! He needs help catching a keeper ling! Nice job, Adam!

[@diggity2966]

Nice catch Adam! Hope to see you on MATTS boat soon with his new outboard... Love watching all Y'all Bay Area Fisherman!!! I live up in Rosa and hope y'all can do a meet and greet or tourney soon... Jun's one of my favorites because he so charismatic and puts on awesome surf tourneys!!! Practicing for next years get-down! 🤩😎🐟🇺🇲❤

[@martinquintana5837]

I hope they colab together, they would kill it for sure.

Nice Triple Adam👍 keep those awesome videos coming.

Awesome show DH.

[@shotgunaaron]

Yer killing it this year so far! Nice cabby BTW... so for seasickness... shock watch. I never leave home w/out my pfd, sharkshield, or shock watch. Totally takes yer mind off the waves/motion which keeps the stomach muscles relaxed allowing you to feel fine.

[@DieHardFishing]

Interesting, thanks for the tip!

[@ronmodafferi8202]

Adam some lite comments and then some more cerebral ones. I'll try to go back all I saw in this video. Wow! You handle (edit) your time on videos with some catching but more on educational fishing stuff. When a meat eater fish gives a hit that you miss. They too missed it and want another chance ... just drop it back down for a few seconds, and they will attack it again. GPS as a fishing aid for rock fish. I can remember in Seward, Alaska 50 years ago when GPS became prevalent and one could locate the same "rock pile/outcrop" and they caught lots of rock fish that were most 50 year old fish. Those spots started getting fish out... What does it take to replace a 50 year old fish? Lots of time. With many. many inshore kayaker fishers exploiting the same same (rocks) location where my Dad and I were more in shore, surf fishers and used to catch lots of rubber lipped perch just to the north of where I believe you launched and there was once lots of "KELP" beds. Maybe, kayker's too need to enforce additional Regs so they have a future ("inshore") in Kayak fishing.

[@garthstomer]

Another great video! 👍

[@williamchandler2494]

Great video I love catching Ling Cod. Your a great fisherman and enjoy the clean language. God Bless

[@mikethallheimer7163]

You should come up to Humboldt where the big fish are. Nice catch bud.

[@iFishSLO]

Killin' it, Adam!

[@familyfishkiller1062]

Good job buddy 👏

[@GetSomeFuker]

No one would believe Taku cause he never catches ishh. On the other hand if it was jocelyn then shes telling the truth.

[@rogeliobravo4927]

Just watched his new video, jocelyn caught a salmon all taku caught was the attention of Mats friend (fishermans life) 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@bonbons525]

It's probably because the live fishes has a special sense against sushi chefs. They know to stay away or esle....... hahahaha

[@downunderdan]

The man with the most camera friendly complexion (assuming no make-up?), makes up another great adventure from - 'Nah, no fish there man'. Kudos

I gotta give you credit for being OUT THERE in your LOUNGE chair. Noah’s Arcs out there looking for your stringer. I guess you’ve been kayaking for awhile, pretty comfortable looking in a kayak. 👍🏻🐟👍🏻

I would recommend one shorter rod for dead baiting, it may be easier to net and and it will definitely be easier to maneuver with but nice vid 🤘

There are medicaments you can take before or when you already feel sick, I know boating people who have to take it for every trip!

[@ernsthorn2788]

Nice session Adam. How do you navigate to your "spots" in your kayak?

[@DieHardFishing]

I have a GPS on my fish finder

[@knudge6334]

Do you drag the wt on the bottom or above the rocks (how much off). what is the length from the wt to the bait? Thanks.

[@kratos8873]

Good job Adam! Tie down your equipment, you nearly lost your net. Also I believe that 2nd Ling is 28" or very close, your measuring board wasn't flat 😉

[@kikihayashi4365]

Now that spot has no fish....lol

[@rogeliobravo4927]

NICE FISH MAN!!!!! A friend of mine told me to fry the whole cabezon or to steam it to get the most yield out of them, youre killing it this year, send me your secret lol

[@goombamike4944]

You really need a second stringer that you should keep empty. That way you can transfer each new catch to the first stringer keeping one empty and freed up to maneuver easily after each new fish. When I see you struggle with a heavy stringer, or if the fish are still lively I feel they are either going to stab you with their spines or jump off the metal hook. Kayaks seem so claustrophobic...it looks very hard to maneuver your body and keep big fish under control.

[@rcnmasterplumber]

Man You Rock Bro.... I Seeing How U Are Fishing Is Very Smart The Way You Put Your Bait Hook, I Normally I Pit Two Hooks On Medium Frozen Fish.... But I Have A Question What Name MakerModel Is Your Fish Finder

It's lack of sleep. Also, a good breakfast, (pancakes, waffles, etc) helps tons.

"Prime Flesh" lol

[@jackyle7758]

Where you go fishing at ? Good job men

[@visualmaestro77]

This may be a total noob or ignorant question, but have you ever had any encounters with curious sharks? Since you're in the Bay Area and kayaking... I assume you keep the metal loop/stringer by your kayak to hold your fish fresh while you keep fishing. Have you had any close encounters?

[@kyleoden3015]

Pacific ocean perch is bomb. The red ones.

[@CesarGonzalez-kt7vp]

How many times have you heard "You should have been here yesterday!"

[@DieHardFishing]

Too many

People need to give those fish a chance to repopulate that area for a while.

What's the measuring board of yours called? I'm looking for one this season

[@DieHardFishing]

Its in the video description!

[@Madnais78]

I've noticed on your recent videos, that when you bleed the fish you hang it over the side of the kayak on your Stringer. And just let it float there. Are you ever concerned about a shark coming up and eating them?

[@christopherwooster8080]

What battery do you use for your trolling motor? How long does it last?
