Not only great fishing ,but great catching!!!

[@FishingwithRod]

You got that right!

[@bikedeefer]

Awesome episode Rod! I can remember doing this with my Dad as a kid, so much fun, great memories watching this.

[@FishingwithRod]

+Fraser_River Tackle_Supply Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. :)

[@johnathanphan]

nice video! That guide is brave to be holding onto the lings lower lip like that. they can cut u up pretty nice if they bite down or thrash there heads

[@garfoonga1]

Just found this channel. Great to find a show with hosts who don't look like PC principal from southpark. I admire what this channel is doing, I know racial challenges in vancouver island fishing are intense.

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks!

[@Beenhereawhile1001]

Pretty slick little lingcod jig that guide made. Gonna have to try it out.

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

Interesting I have not had trouble catching with straight braid to the hook. Wonder if I'd catch even more with some mono leader. I know a good reason for a mono lead is you don't lose a ton of braid when you get the mega snag.

[@SunnyIlha]

Not sure if you've tried this; if it is a right hand cranking levelwind reel, try putting the rod butt inside under your right armpit and hold the rod foregrip with your left hand. The ergonomics are quite nice.

[@valentinfurrerCH]

Definitely a trip of a lifetime! Very interesting and informative. Great work Rod, keep going!

[@ryankang562]

+Valentin Furr Aw man! I thought I was going to be the first to comment. I guess you win...

[@FishingwithRod]

+Valentin Furr Thanks! Chat with you in a few weeks if you are still coming to the event. :)

[@valentinfurrerCH]

+Fishing with Rod Of course I am, in Chilliwack! Can't wait. Just do me a favour and make the "sun dance" the day before as we'll come by the air. Otherwise it will be a much longer journey by car..:)

[@lake2seafishing197]

[@FishingwithRod]

+Lake2Sea Fishing Thanks! It sure was. :)

[@FishingwithRod]

+Dennis Healy Thanks!

[@FishingKing754]

Great video as usual. Never understood why people leave the clicker on when they fight their fish.

[@nwoutdoortv8351]

O man ,,that was super..

[@FishingwithRod]

+NWoutdoorTV Thanks!

[@jonfisher5946]

Great video Rod!!!! :p

[@FishingwithRod]

+Jon Fisher Thanks!

[@TotalledHonda]

That wasn't a bullhead that was a Cabezon. Very good eating!

[@kyle_a_c2632]

MLGxTSG He said it was a cabezone but was just explaining that it was like a big bullhead

[@andyyarrington8602]

rod we gotta go fishing sometime

[@garyhajigarabtian6210]

great vid but plz turn the clicker off

[@kalebw5057]

i go camping there every year in a place called the artlish near kyuquot

[@FishingwithRod]

Very nice, lovely area. :)

[@kalebw5057]

i caught my first halibut and it was 45lbs then my brothers friend caught a 55 to 60lb halibut

[@jackybonbong]

You guys should really turn those clickers off 😂

[@FishingwithRod]

It draws those fish in at 250ft deep, didn’t you know? *click click click*

[@fishingcalifornia100]

Nice video! Do you think you will ever make it out to Qulicum River fishing resort?

[@FishingwithRod]

+RB. Guide Service Always open to new options. :)

[@seansimons7043]

On a fly rod? Where was that Canada?

[@FishingwithRod]

It’s not a fly rod. It’s a mooching rod. West Coast of Vancouver Island.

[@Mahigeer1]

In Alaska the guides are NOT allowed to keep any fish they catch while working as guide.

[@FishingwithRod]

Hashem N This isn’t Alaska.

[@Mahigeer1]

I did not mean it was, just providing information. No insult was intended.

[@paulcasey9148]

Rod and Kitty, will you be doing any filming in 2021?

[@FishingwithRod]

Hi Paul, no we will not be. Kitty is not doing filming with me anymore.

[@paulcasey9148]

@@FishingwithRod I hope you are still together. Take care. God bless. Tight lines.

[@FishingwithRod]

@@paulcasey9148 Thanks Paul. For the time being we're not really, but we'll see what the future holds.

[@paulcasey9148]

@@FishingwithRod So sorry to hear Rod. I hope and pray all works out for you both.

[@FishingwithRod]

Thank you again Paul. I hope so too. I do still have a few Kyuquot episodes with her which will be released this winter. We will be taking a long break other than that.

[@AKLivin.]

Great video! Do you guys drift a lot more for rockfish or do you anchor???

[@AKLivin.]

Curious, do you drift or anchor more??

[@FishingwithRod]

We usually don't anchor unless we really have to, since it is quite a bit of work.

[@AKLivin.]

Fishing with Rod ok, thank you sir. I like to drift too, just been struggling to get a bite lately. I’ll keep at it. I fish the PWS in Alaska. Beautiful here!

[@Daniel-nd6pj]

Awesome! What kind of fishing rod are you guys using?

[@FishingwithRod]

+Daniel Jeff Thanks! For the halibut and lingcod, we were using Shimano Technium series but I also like Shimano Trevala. For the salmon fishing, we use Shimano Technium or Convergence. These are pretty standard mid range rods which most saltwater guides along our coast use.

[@TheAlexdx7]

The guide is clearly breaking regulations.

[@FishingwithRod]

+Mehinder Dub What regulations are being broken?

[@909mineman]

Keeping salmon from a barbed trebble hook

[@lucasjover7343]

Where would a nice place around Vancouver to go for bull trout off shore?

[@lucasjover7343]

Nice place be*

[@FishingwithRod]

+Lucas Jover Bull trout are mainly targeted in rivers and lakes. Squamish River, Chilliwack River, Skagit River, Pitt River are all excellent systems where bull trout can be caught.

[@lucasjover7343]

+Fishing with Rod Thanks! Would the Fraser be a nice place? Because I live pretty close.

[@FishingwithRod]

+Lucas Jover It can be. If you head to our website, look under estuary fishing in the articles section, you'll find a series of articles which talk about bull trout fishing in the Fraser River.

[@lucasjover7343]

+Fishing with Rod Thanks! Great vid by the way as usual

[@Tommygun-vf4xd]

Stop dropping your rod tip when gaining on the fish!!!! ALWAYS keep steady pressure on your salmon WITH ROD TIP UP!....So many fish lost because of that mistake.

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks for the tip
