Always a pleasure and amazement to see salmies in California

[@DieHardFishing]

This is the first one I've seen! So cool!

[@nomadhomad3685]

@@DieHardFishing they become more common closer to the shore the further North you go where more salmon are more abundant espeiclally during runs

I love salt fishing. You never know what you hooked.

[@MrGreenNScaly]

Great release! Def a salmon shark. Im a 20+ yr Ak charter capt. The tail wrap made landing/releasing easier. Good luck with the blue submarines this summer!!!

[@jtuck682]

Adam, I was so excited watching the intro. Man, Adam landed his first Bluefin in the Bay area in May? Well, I'm glad you caught something, just not the first cousin to Jaws 😂

[@jonathanpassaro228]

I'm glad tonsee your out targeting tuna. Give the people what they want! Awesome video

More to come!

Appreciate the kind words!

LOL - That gull @11:08 like "WTF is this!?!"

[@fvgamechanger]

Haha he was a juvenile albatross. Those birds are hilarious they kept us entertained all day

[@westcoastfisherman]

That’s a salmon shark , good eating 🥣

[@Nigel_BC]

I heard there were some Bonito in the Bay last weekend. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see for myself.

[@mollusketeer]

There were some in Monterey Bay too.

[@Nigel_BC]

@@mollusketeer that’s the bay I was referring to

[@thomasneal9291]

Yup. Male salmon shark. First time I have seen one caught in California. I knew a PhD student who did his thesis on these, but he was working on them up in Washington, mostly in Puget Sound. Interesting. They are closely related to white sharks, so easy to see the confusion.

[@tomkjr1]

Salmon Shark with those huge black eyes!

[@dollarbill2035]

Cool Video, Love the Assist pipe.. Why all the leaves in the boat ?

[@lawrencehockett8179]

All I hear is the Jaws soundtrack

[@greggpi]

Nice Arima

[@m.j.greathouse456]

That was sick… The shark had some spots on the bottom half of it and the nose was a bit sharp. 🦈? That doesn’t even matter. 🎣

[@danbates421]

Is that reel on the shark a makira 16 or 20? Thanks…

[@Glaciershark]

That’s a salmon shark 🦈 for sure

[@jimsegger9116]

Yup I'm going with the salmon shark def not a white and wrong shape for a mako

[@walterbriggs272]

Big fish! Not something I would want to catch- how do ya get the hook out?- but what a story

[@getitdone6694]

Great video, any idea where to get the Y looking rod holder that he is using to hold pole on? Thanks

[@DieHardFishing]

That one was hand made unfortunately.

[@getitdone6694]

ok, I assume it's all aluminum right?

[@mollusketeer]

Are those albatross at the end?

[@BluffTrail]

Why Did you leave the hook in?

[@localguy8]

It was fun while it lasted.

When he said "dolphin" I assumed he meant Mahi mahi, not an actual dolphin.

100% salmon shark

Salmon shark

[@YABOY457]

Looked like a mako?

[@hr1229]

Typically ppl ask you to get the location because they want to get the same fish. I’m asking you for the location so I know where to avoid. So where is this at in Bay Area, you don’t mean SF bay right??? How far off the coast is this?

[@DieHardFishing]

not in the SF Bay, only a few miles off the coast!

[@slowburn_1725]

Salmon shark all day

[@glenbradley1046]

Looked like a MAKO…. Notice it’s head / teeth glad a guys had a blast fighting it

[@zachczyz2165]

Forsure salmon but so cool

[@jameslyons1978]

Mako no?

[@Lalofish]

Awsome catch man. What size Makaira was that?

[@DieHardFishing]

30 I believe

[@cory_hugs7850]

That’s cheating, go heads up with that fish and ditch the pole holder. 💪🏼

[@logikell]

Looks like the shark died. They need to swim forward for air to go over their gills. With it tail wrapped it probably suffocated. It probably just sank to the bottom of the ocean when you let it go.

[@togodamnus]

Hopefully was able get some 02 intake while descending, otherwise Lamnids can overheat and seize up after long bouts, plus hook injuries are often debilitating in the long term. Really good to see the specimen released, they are expensive ecological fixtures and can live 50 plus years or more. Like big mako sharks they take a long time to manufacture in terms of trophic and environmental interests. White sharks can live for 70+ years. Salmon sharks are epic high performance interceptors and all the Lamnids are excellent sharks, only five species in the whole genus/group. 🤙

[@user-xm6do4lc1j]

male shark. i can see the wee wee

[@andrewwhite9739]

Mako

[@jimycrackcorn408]

I caught one of those 2 years ago in Alaska and I ate it heart right out of the fish still beating

[@markshark7521]

Turn the ratchet off!! F,n annoying its the first thing to do after hook-up 🦈

[@andycollins7215]

Why do the ones watching always think they know more than the one doing the work? particularly Americans.

[@1hotahi964]

Thought I could watch the whole video until the reel clicker came into play😢

[@markespich8574]

For god sakes,turn off the clicker.
