CRAZY Lifelike OCTOPUS LURE - Does it work??? (Slightly Graphic) (Mustad Inkvader)

[@iFishSLO]

LOL! Adam catches some sweet kelp and a small rock on the other end. "Unfortunately, too small, so we're gonna have to let him go. But maybe we'll catch him again when he's a keeper. Thanks for the fight!" I'm dying. That was great.

[@kellyplumb3561]

I enjoy watching your videos, I am in the desert and I miss fishing especially in the ocean 🌊! Great video 😊

[@barefootterry3785]

Small first aid kit should be next on your list. Maybe even put it in your life vest pockets. Great vid!

[@fishhunt9874]

Right after you pulled the gaff out of the halibut. Now you may have it’s blood and slime inside that puncture. Clean that out well to lessen your chance of a possible infection. Good luck

[@aidansquidturd9808]

I’m subbed best small channel ever! Love it keep it up 👍

"it didn't go all the way in" 😂 I saw the video dude, that point went all the way under your skin. Badass.

[@DieHardFishing]

It went in far enough.....lol

[@axscdvfb]

It's a good idea to bring a first-aid kit with you. Try the NRS Paddler Medical Kit. West Marine also has one that's pretty compact and kinda water resistant.

[@Johnfor3]

First aid kit sure would have been handy!

Adam, you need to get a small First Aid kit. I have had to use mine numerous times.

That rod holder is such a good angler. He always gets bit and outfishes everyone lol

[@silverbird425]

Well you committed a gaffe with a gaff. :)

[@tidalrootsadventures]

Good tactical field care on that hand! And also kinda small kelp rock fish, good release though!

[@kumaboyy.7443]

Nice hali! Hope your hand is ok? That thing must be sharp! Enjoyed the vid, Adam! Thank you!

[@joshhamilton4482]

Make sure you get that hand cleaned really good! I have a buddy get staff infection from his middle knuckle get scrapped by a 90lber tooth! The deal was getting all the halibut slime when you handle them and clean them. Hope you heal good and you get back on the water fast!

[@ivans6.2ss20]

Good vid. Bro I hope your hand gets better dude. 👋🤙

[@jimbo4612]

Word was thee was some White Sea- bass around Capitola here on 8-7 . So-Cal wise you guys just hit it a bit early, it went off 7-18 to 7-28 Mirage Sport fishing had limits of White Sea-bass on a huge squid bite. Other local boats reported wide open bites loading up as well but they were mid grade fish not all huge croakers. Lure wise lucky you that octopus lure runs near $30.00 a piece.

[@Hook2Cook]

Oof! That hand gaff shot! We all felt that! Lol had to slow mo it didn’t ya!?

[@reelinggoodfishing3438]

That gaff in the hand looked painful mate, that was truly “die hard”, hope you didn’t need a stitches 😫

[@sleelee84]

Wow, take care of yourself out there, I remembered the hook in your hand video. 😣😣

[@ehumaui4087]

That kid is on fire. I do have that tako lure. I wanted to see if you could catch one. Darn

[@zeldanrj3]

Welcome back.. The water looks so good.. so refreshing. Dang!!! Atleast you know it's sharp. Can you do some more catch n cooks? I love seeing the different ways you each prepare the fish. Thank you.

[@kylogged]

If you haven’t already. You should check out outdoor chef life. He does a lot of great catch and cools. Also, fisherman’s life just did a really good smoked salmon

[@johnnyshepherd3055]

That went in pretty deep man, hope you’re alright!

[@arkster00]

I was using the same lure in Big Sur. Didn't get any bites on it until I switched to a nomad bufflalo jig 230g.

[@richardgao7937]

That gaff shot tickled my soul. Definitely felt that one like a kick in the balls

[@kylogged]

Serious😬😬 I felt that too😭

[@ehasal1]

Bought an inkvader back in March. Haven't had a chance it use it. Next week I'm going on a charter and can't wait to use it. Wish me luck.🤞

[@messyfisherman4140]

The reason that rod is so lucky is that its a lighter action rod wich likely allows for a more natural perentation

[@kylogged]

That’s really smart, good to know,

[@gabepettinicchio7454]

Great point and a very helpful one, also!

[@jimbo4612]

@ messy fishermen This particular location has halibut in the 30-40 lb range and there are a few spots where they can run you into snags. Lighter shows sportsmanship for sure but sometimes when the halibut are huge you have to run the heavier rods. Know of a 39, 37, and 4 other above 30 taken in this area this year. I live 5 miles down the coast of this spot .

[@messyfisherman4140]

@@jimbo4612 im not saying that every one needs to use a lighter rods im just saying the a lighter rod many times leads to a more natural presentation and that is the reason for that rod being more lucky than others he uses

[@jimbo4612]

@@messyfisherman4140 In general would agree that natural presentation is the best for a lot of fishing but just wanted to mention that this area offers some really large halibut and also some snags where they run into and get wrapped up . The other reason for a heavier stick is that August is White Sea bass season in this area with some nice ones taken on 8-07. Best luck on the fishing to you and yours

[@stuartbreslow7951]

What area do you do most of your kayak fishing?

[@Request4Parole]

Another fun video Adam! I think you might want to put a First Aid kit in your kayak! Nice Halibut! 👍🐟

[@tjakeeler]

Love the use of the Inkvader, I’ve been trying to collect octopus lures for rockfishing

[@jimbo4612]

try Canyon plastics giant Tora Tube and Pro cure Octopus gel. So much cheaper and effective

[@ponyongm5936]

Keep up the good show... more surf fishing stay safe

[@bwcok7947]

You may have been correct about the smell of the octopus bait. Would it be good to have it marinate in with any squid and shrimp bait you may have?

[@jimbo4612]

@ BWC ok A company called Pro cure sells Octopus gel

[@ronmexico4350]

Are you gonna after some bluefin in the yak??? You’re near half moon bay right?

why dont u do more catch n cooks

[@masterofnone3743]

I just bought one of those ink invaders have not tried it yet. Going out the gate Monday gonna give it a try!

[@DieHardFishing]

Good luck!!!

[@glennshimizu2464]

Think about a small first aid kit (band aids, gauze, alcohol wipes or even better squirt bottle of alcohol, tape, Neosporin, etc.) Especially when you're way out there on the water. Would come in handy when you're dealing with hooks, knives, braid . . . GAFFS! Hope you're okay!

[@shotgunaaron]

Man you just love Monterey don't you? Nice halibut. Thanks for posting.

[@BigDsGaming2022]

Not much fish and a whole lot of film , still I loved it man !

[@dogsense3773]

Got to respect the gaff

[@ajw007white4]

Great video sir thank you for sharing cheers🍻🍻

[@bumpedhishead636]

I'm a bit confused by the ink feature on that lure. If I'm remembering correctly, the ink is more than just a distraction, there is some evidence it may be an irritant to the chemical sensors on predator fish. So, why would having a lure with "actual octopus ink" be a good thing? I would think just having the lure contain a clear octopus scent would be better, no?

[@kylogged]

I was thinking that too. It might attract them tho. Fish could prolly see it. Maybe makes it more natural

[@kylogged]

I guess the fish want what they can’t have🤷🏽‍♂️

[@kylogged]

Oh . Maybe scent?? Idk sorry for the spam off replies

[@MGk-Farmer]

Can you catch salmon out in the ocean year round? I don't know your fishing laws but if they do stop salmon fishing at a certain point is there a chance to accidentally catch a salmon in the ocean near you all year round im asking because i didn't know what happens to salmon after salmon season and are they caught on purpose or by accident all year long like do they stay around basically what im saying i know its confusing what im trying to say.

[@briand.4687]

Inkvader works great in SoCal waters. Caught lots of rockfish and lings until i got snagged and lost the lure

[@loristime6607]

Wait?! What kind of hook was that on the octopus lure? And, DUDE!! The gaff to your hand!! You took that like a champ, but I hope you got that looked at.

[@hustonwitt9425]

Thanks for sharing your trip and the awsome video. Quick question, what is your favorite method to fish for halibut? I'm going for the first time and could use any pointers that you have.

[@benmercer533]

Hi Die Hard Fishing, do you keep your stringer of fish in a live well or over the side of the kayak? And have you ever had a shark or a really big fish attack your stringer of fish before? Hope your hand heals up fast-looked like a nasty poke.

[@tristanwoodworth6296]

They do work. That's what I use. Hook it up top and jig it. Hook it on the side you can troll with it.

[@alexlasky2031]

Will it catch bass?

[@jerrychapman7091]

Cast it and pop it off the bottom going with the current,they love it that way.

[@outdoorfreedom9778]

I was rooting for the Puss lure. The live Puss is so deadly on the lings and I'm trying to add to my tackle box. For the price, I may just stick with frozen squid or live Dabs. Question: We used to pull the hook through the gills and out the mouth of our live bait and it kept the bait alive. I no longer see it done this way. Is there a reason or is it just out of fashion??

[@andrewmoe1192]

Im surprised you dont have a mini 1st aid kit on board.

[@alpayziyansiz2506]

Hı.How many grams of octopus bait you use

Nothing better for an open gash than fresh ocean salt water. Next time (there will be...) soak hand overboard. Works wonders and I speak from experience... Welcome back to the salt.

@@maxinpains6937 Its kinda funny regarding human blood and the White sharks. There is a Rogue Shark theory which claims they will eat humans as a food source and there was 3 cases in New Zealand of this actually happening. There is also 2 cases in California where human parts where eaten by the whites vs the hit and spit examination bite theory 1 happened in 2016 and 1 back in march of this year.

[@jackiefitzpatrick2906]

|Ink sac in octopus lure seems like a marketing ploy . Legs of octopus will entice any fish to bite , not ink .

[@dylanearnshaw8783]

The gimmick with the ink is that it also has octopus scent in it which helps but like you said the tentacles and action of the jig would already entice predatory fish to bite so there wouldn’t be much point paying for extra ink sacs

[@Brunnen_Gee]

I'm assuming since you're still making vids and still have two hands, that poke didn't turn out too bad.

[@wormdrowner95snag46]

[@tonybramham5184]

how can you tell if a halibut took your bait?

[@takeadeepbreath6053]

Halibuts swim in a way that when you hook one, you’ll feel the head shakes during the fight. Very distinctive!

@@takeadeepbreath6053 big halibut may swim right along moving only as they need to you. Gulp mackerel then just sit on the bottom moving very slowly. Can feel like you hooked a big wet chunk of carpet.

CA Outdoorsmen, be aware, read carefully, take note & share. Write to your leaders and let them know if you are opposed to this Bill. 30% of state waters will close. Primarily, where natural streams & rivers flow into the ocean ie: along the western sides of the Coastal Ranges. That includes much of the Central Coast of CA. Areas that stay open will likely be the coastlines of more populated areas. Why,? Because these larger metro areas are where people of lower-income and minorities are located. Keep in mind that we have already lost a lot of coastlines with all of the "Marine Protection Areas." These areas were promised to re-open after 5 years. When time was up, the state simply changed its mind and made them permanent closures. leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB3030

[@jimbo4612]

Locally I fought the MPA actions going to meetings and giving data to a Obama panel. Also wrote for the the Western Outdoor news regarding MPS Closures. We kept a majority of our local water open here around Capitola but i do recall Recall Schwarzenegger stating he was in favor of anglers then turned his back on us so YAH!!! always a threat with corrupt Agencies associated with Water rights using smoke and mirror tactics. Losing Caption Rodger Thomas to cancer in 2017 hurt bad! He had a voice that the water boys listened to!

Why do so many people yank to set the hook? Just pull pressure. Yanking loses more fish than building pressure without a quick yank.

[@michaelhanlon732]

Maybe you have had this suggestion before, but gaffs are dangerous on a regular boat. You're really asking for it with that on a yak. Maybe consider a harpoon instead. Since I've been following you I cringe every time I see you handle that gaff dude. Just have seen too many accidents in the past, not trying to be a dick, just lookin out. You have a good channel, helping me get through the winter on the north east, thanks for the good content.
