Kudos to Adam for promoting the rules so well. He could easily turn off his camera or discard the footage so he can keep a Ling, but instead he decides to be honest and consistent. We need more fisherman like that.

[@kumaboyy.7443]

That is why we love Adams channel because he always catches fish!

[@BLESSED1591]

Always! Hes got one of if not the best channel for Cali fishing!!

[@toYOder]

You know u at the hotspot when everyone running to your spot lol.

[@robertdiehl1281]

Fresh squid has always been the candy bait of SoCal. The difference it makes is immediately noticeable. Good video dude

[@mikeboston421]

your buddy Nick on the boat, 'ya, lets take his fish', bahaha

[@OffTheHookFishing]

You can mark spots on Google Maps! The GPS will still work even without service, just make sure to mark the lat/lon coordinates.

[@DieHardFishing]

Good idea!

[@ronsrox]

You know you're good when you can tell the species and length without even seeing the fish.

[@jerrychapman7091]

I do that when I pee😅

[@hooper4581]

Outstanding Adam ! What a blast ! Carry on and fish hard !

[@SuperPhester]

Go Adam go. Love your fishing videos! You are The Man when it comes to fishing!

[@tdhmonte]

Bad luck to say you got one before the fish is in the BOAT!!

[@andrewfurtado4946]

Great time out there with you guys fishing🎣Awesome video🤙

[@SouthwestKayakFishing]

What an amazing day of catching some giant slugs! Congratulations! The weather and water conditions are so clam. We all need to have more days like that! Unfortunately I’m down and out the count until the fall season nursing a total knee replacement surgery. Please keep on pumping out more videos! Good luck on your next outing.

[@samsiryani9023]

Good people and good fishing is a awesome combo.

[@jamestownvirginia8463]

I like the tennis ball idea, especially since I'm a kayak guy myself. It saves LOTS of things. Thanks! Eating good tonight.

[@RGB06084]

Great Fish - Congrats!

[@darrenm9597]

Good to have some homies in a boat...

[@jacksongould4263]

Those near instant hookups are pretty insane! Nice quantity and quality of fish

[@shotgunaaron]

Nice work as always 👍

[@chefmarck]

I noticed the boats moving in after you caught the second one. The Live Bait King slays again 👏

[@williambenner5550]

Nice halibut man!

[@TheHbk714orange]

that hali shakes with power!!

[@mikekelly1091]

Hey on that first bite when your halibut fishing I learned do not set the hook just start reeling when you feel the pressure they'll hook themselves. ✊🏻🤜🏻🤛🏻👍🏻

[@jonipleau9284]

Nice fish Mr Die Hard. Bruce will be proud of you! 🌸

[@wesleybrown4711]

The way you guys feature & shout eachother out is so awesome to see! A few more channels and I'll have enough content to see me thru the week :D

[@martinquintana5837]

Good to see you Adam. Those some very nice Halibut's. Nice to limit out so early. Be safe out there and enjoy your 4th of July weekend.Aloha from Kansas.

[@FishermansChronicles]

Never been happier to get outfished man, looking forward to next time 🙌

[@geniusinnovations5268]

Nice catch bro 👍

[@CauCaTV2-pz5jm]

Hello dear. Wishing you an exciting start to the week. Very interesting sharing. I am very impressed with how you created this video. Always support and accompany with you. 💞💓💗💖

[@edquier40]

Congrats on that Award, you're welcome

[@sweetdirtypants]

My wife and I live in Ontario, Canada. We both love your videos. One quick suggestion for your phone, your should get a water proof floatation bag for it. Keep up the great videos. 👍

[@badmonkey0001]

That beast tried to bonk itself on the side of the kayak.

[@davidbutler3437]

i was on the wharf that day seen you guys pulling in nice catch

[@TravelHobbiesTV]

Wow... lumaki pala yan ng husto, ang ganda ng laban, salamat, support here in UAE

[@jimbo4612]

Might consider coming very early or staying late and trying the pleasure point area with fresh squid for a White Sea bass. You can use the Santa Cruz surf report to get the daily swell and high tide reports, The squid and Ice cube trick works and a few have been taken on white swim baits

[@carsonhanks9749]

With the bois😂

[@grandpa_of_2206]

Nice limit!

[@wildherring3988]

Nice haul

[@scottfisher7563]

Nice fish.

[@VinceYoutubr]

It seems your call reached the Halibut :)

[@Marcssj3]

@1:40 “Yon Boone kaiju NIGGA!” Hahahahaha

[@RGB06084]

Adam, You're crazy lucky that VHF radio is not in the bay. There's so many times where I was sure it was gone!

[@badmonkey0001]

Tethers are the key to not losing valuables.

[@MoorishDesign]

Hi, I've been watching your videos for sometime now and as always your videos are awesome. I'm new to Kayaking and just wondering if you could make a video on how to use the VHF radios and how to choose channels and how to call for help that would be very much appreciated. Thank you,

[@andrewvillanueva4222]

Love your videos bro fishing Monterey bay for halibut. Sucks your fish finder is damaged.

[@Ivan-ve5qd]

forget the sharks your a magnet for others 🤣🤣

[@fazekhan2042]

Awesome catch Adam!! Any good halibut or striper spots off the shore? Also what is a good beach for surf perch? , Don’t have a boat or kayak yet. Hoping to get one by October Insha Allah.

[@tydengr]

Does Halfmoon bay has sqyuid?

[@kevincapps4258]

What size bait shark is that you are using? Do you think you can modify the hole with some netting or screen to keep smaller bait from getting out?

[@belcebu5907]

Man you gat nice fish

[@eldukenumero1]

New to kayak and fishing in general. How do you find the Halibut? Can you see them on the fish finder or in an area known for Halibuts?

[@allanclose9684]

I have luck with a 5/o hook and i have hook farther bach by tenicles and put a couple half hitches around head.

[@MrFerrer10]

Any recommendation on a rod and reel combo for halibut trolling ?

[@patricksnyder3446]

it did get hooked you got sidetracked with your radio!! stay focused!

[@roguedog6799]

nICE, I WISH THE OCEAN WQOULD LAY DOWN UP HERE IN COOS BAY.

[@HYEonDEATHROW]

You gaff really well.

[@fishingandfarming7100]

Lot of thrasher sharks around

[@00SingleSeven]

What is the success ratio between live bait vs swim bait? I'm more familiar with spearfishing but new to pole fishing. Any budget friendly recommendations would be awesome. Mostly pier fishing/surf fishing/ occasional in shore fishing

[@DieHardFishing]

I have more luck with live bait but others have the exact opposite experience. I say use whatever you are more confident in!

[@jaychino1621]

Bonk It!

[@tyronejones1644]

You ever decide you want a different adventure. Come to haidagwaii, British Columbia and look me up Jones Charters. I'd love to take you out for a day of fishing. Chinook, hali and ling. You seem like you'd be a fun guy to have out for a trip. Bring some friends too haha

[@DieHardFishing]

Sounds fun!!!

[@tylernol42689]

How far can you go and what battery are you using on the kayak?

[@BananaAfterlife]

What lb braid do you usually use on your lexa when fishing for halibut? And is your leader flouro or mono? Thanks trying to learn.

[@DieHardFishing]

40 pound braid with a fluoro leader

[@BananaAfterlife]

@@DieHardFishing thanks!

[@miltonmartinez4721]

Hi adan where is the place at i really love your videos and i whant to try go fishing

[@abegolez7129]

so only one rod per person for lingcod? 2 rods ok for alibut?

[@wyatt9841]

Do you think a shimano tekota 600 will work for halibut

[@jrc9689]

I wonder how light those blue "ray" rods he using..

[@Stoops1973]

Nice 36incher. Load up on live squid

[@lionelsalgado138]

What size weight do you for halibut fishing ?

[@philipmccumbee3624]

What weight line do you use?

[@JLONGBALL007]

Hi Adam you dont know me but I am and have been impressed with your fishing. I would like to take you fishing on my boat for a halibut trip. I usually launch out of the Richmond marina.

[@TheBrianone]

I’d like to take my kayak out on the ocean where do I launch from? (Santa Cruz Area)

[@josevargas2916]

What pants are you using 🤙🏽

[@kensolee]

Let it bleed out there ... attract some sharks :)

What kayak are you using these days? thanks Oh I see the Autopilot is the model name?

Nice Adam limit also what do you do with the fish you catch?

[@DieHardFishing]

Eat them!

[@francisgarcia375]

@@DieHardFishing you don't give them out to friends or donate them?

[@Bajosextomario23]

Does anyone know what boat that guy and kid were on?

[@bluewater1945]

I was out there that day, I caught three sharks and no halibut 🤷

[@DaBinChe]

I notice a trend in your videos with Halibut and how many you lose. It there a no barb regulation like Salmon? Or is it just Halibut differs to other fish enough that they can get off easier?.

[@getitdone6694]

I tried to see how you rigged the weight into the main line and then the leader but it's a not so clear picture, with a swivel cannot tell it it's a 3-way deal, can you elaborate? Thanks

[@getitdone6694]

Never mind it's a slider rig as you mentioned it later in video. Where is it you're fishing, North, or SoCal, San Diego?

[@danieltinoco8569]

What city brother? @diehardfishing

[@edgarventura8744]

Where can I buy live squid? Pier 47 ?

[@visualmaestro77]

"Let that bleed out there... attract some sharks" ... so I had asked in a previous video of yours if that has ever been an issue? Have any curious sharks bumped your kayak? Some kid got his hand bit kayaking around Catalina Island not too long ago.

[@DieHardFishing]

I haven’t had any encounters personally but I know they are out there!

[@fredmertz9950]

I had a great white come bump my kayak in shell Beach CA.. it was a foot longer then both ends of my kayak.

where can I get a hat like that

[@edwardtani9839]

Hi Adam, your a way better fisherman than me but I'll go ahead and say it anyway. I'm told not to do a hook set on Halibut because they dont have tough mouths. Just thought I'd share what I've been told.

[@jimbo4612]

Reel up the slack when you get a bite and use the weight of the halibut to hook itself.

[@leomonteiro8864]

I've always had better luck fishing on a weekday less boat traffic but didn't always have that luxury

[@jameskim62]

Did you ever had a Great White shark trying to eat the fish that is on your kayak ??????

[@jimbo4612]

Several small white sharks hang out on the beaches sunning themselves and bad encounters are pretty uncommon fortunately. October and November when the water gets dirty and big sharks travel south is when you need to be extra careful

[@mpariba]

can you do a video on catching squid please or at least show us where there is a good one.

[@jeffilli1663]

Why did you have to let the ling cod go?

[@messyfisherman4140]

Better becareful with that extendable gaff handle that thing slipped big time when you gaffed that last fish

[@bryanstevens943]

What’s the name of that blue rod

[@alfredorivera210]

Its called Rays fishing trophy salmon/halibut series

[@ronmodafferi8202]

Adam; to hook and set a hook in a halibut does not take much skill. But when you gaff a halibut it shows lots of calm skill in where it's placed so not to waste edible fish and also too quickly end the story. Great video and commentary. Amazing how calm the seas were.

[@morrobayfishing5515]

Why did I think he was calling for Pizza?

[@DieHardFishing]

😂

[@afout07]

why cant you keep ling if youre using two rods?

[@DieHardFishing]

The regulations restrict the use of more than one rod when targeting any rockfish/lingcod

[@afout07]

@@DieHardFishing that seems like a strange regulation
