HUGE CALIFORNIA HALIBUT Caught Live Bait Fishing (oddly satisfying)

[@cristinearias6613]

Adam, when will you show us how you rig up?

[@tedcross4540]

Another great video. Once again I’m struck by the respect you demonstrate to your viewers. Soo grateful for the free flow of information. Really looking forward to your Central America trip. I’m anticipating some epic battles.

[@DieHardFishing]

I appreciate that! Should be a fun trip! Excited to share it with you all!

[@larrykoroush6995]

That Halibut is a beauty. Good eats

[@Blueskies-h3e]

What kind of fishing rig do you use? I’ve never caught a halibut but I’d like to give it a try 👏👏👏

[@davidhall1779]

Great video, great catch, huge congratulations those kind of halibut are the commercial fishermans favorite, “Market size”. But man I get nervous when I see a boat running up from behind you at speed.

[@DieHardFishing]

You and me both!

[@jtuck682]

Adam, since you had good success in targeting Halibut and Ling Cod one might get the impression that those fish are easy to catch, when actually it can be quite the opposite. You have put an awful lot of hours in on the water to make your success. 😊 Hope you Panama trip is great. It might help to watch watch Elias fishing did on his trip down there.

[@DieHardFishing]

Very true! I'll check out his vids! Thanks for the recommendation.

[@williamchandler2494]

Outstanding thanks for the invite. I wondered if you ever fished with others. Apparently you do just proves what I thought about you that your as genuine man. Tight lines.

[@dantecarpino7500]

Looking forward to seeing your videos from Panama! What an adventure.

[@MrScoutDude]

Nicely done! Los Buzos will be a blast! Looking forward to going there one day in the near future! Looking forward to that video when it comes out.

[@dflores2695]

the gull just waiting for you to leave some food unattended lol

[@kumaboyy.7443]

That was not a slow day at all!you slayed them, Adam! Nice audience waiting for you to throw them a bone! 😂

[@A.Matt7]

Those birds stayed with you the whole day.

[@DieHardFishing]

My good luck buddies

[@Fishingwithdaboys]

Those birds are good luck 🍀 😅

[@gradybrowning3976]

Awesome Halibut Bro! You deserve so Many More Sub’s, but I’m sure you will Keep Growing!

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks! I hope so!

[@mikeconnor5668]

Enjoy Panama! That should be a very special trip.

[@stansmith7118]

Another great day out on the water!!!! You da man!!!

[@rumcoke9123]

amazing video. Subscribed. I started fishing again after about 30 years of just working and loving it. You are an inspiration.

[@DieHardFishing]

Welcome aboard! Glad to hear you are getting back into it!

[@AubriJimenez]

Great halibut, nice job.. Another great day out on the water!!!! You da man!!!.

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks 👍

[@yardhostler3728]

I might of saw you yesterday on the water, I got a nice one as well.

[@DieHardFishing]

Oh nice!

[@yardhostler3728]

@@DieHardFishing I was on a jetski, caught a 32 lber.i saw you fishing next to a couple of boats.

Knocking it out of the park in professional style every time... man that hali was such a chuuuunk.

[@betocampos6220]

Dude I was dying with that seagull lurking in the back

[@andrewvillanueva3722]

Awesome halibut bro

[@randallbright4897]

I'm so excited watching you catch those really nice fish. Was the tide changing when you started catching them ? You hardly ever say where you are fishing when out on the ocean, but I could tell you where out of Half Moon bay this time. Great job !

[@DieHardFishing]

I'm not sure about the tide but it very well could have been changing!

[@barefootterry3785]

That is a nice Hali. Have fun in Los Buzos, sounds like an epic trip!

[@davkrat5]

Have you ever found squid for bait in HMB? Great fish

[@muzaaaaak]

Really nice Hali. Enjoy it!

[@kyleperrault5592]

It looks like you need a left hand reel

[@J_G_Romero_1973]

Those are quality lings and that Hali is a toad specially taken on the Yak! Very informative Bro. Congratulations! 👏🏽🤙🏽

[@addicted2fishing119]

I love getting bit on a bait most people would consider an awesome catch… Ilan and I caught some monster Calicos on Yellowtail size mackerel baits, and a sea lion 😂 I’ve been in love with the knocker rig for live bait… similar to the Carolina but no swivel, weight (lighter the Carolina) bouncing off the top hook

[@DieHardFishing]

Nice!! I need to make a trip down for some yellowtail soon!

[@addicted2fishing119]

@@DieHardFishing you have not missed anything… watch fall will be when the water hits 76-78 and there will be dodo’s and yellows on every floating island in the water

[@DieHardFishing]

That sounds epic!

[@karstenschulz511]

What kind of stringer are you using to leave the fish in the water. what is it called exactly and where can i get it?

[@shotgunaaron]

Smashed it! Nice work. Hitting it somewhere next week 🤙

[@DieHardFishing]

Good luck!

[@i3lazinkush760]

So I grew up In Alameda and moved to Arkansas and learned to fish and got into bass fishing. Been back out to Clearlake , but bro I’d be so scared out there in that kayak in the bay omg lol Cool channel bro

[@OutFishedTv]

Lmao you had a new friend hanging with you the whole time that seagull deserves a fish or 2

[@addicted2fishing119]

Don’t feed Fred! 😂

[@chefmarck]

The live bait king!

[@chefmarck]

I feel you’re due for a big cabbie soon. What do you think?

[@haroldkyle4479]

You will enjoy Los Buzos. I will be there in Nov. Hope you land a big rooster and Cubera. It will be my 3rd time going.

[@DieHardFishing]

Can't wait! Any tips for a first timer?

[@haroldkyle4479]

@@DieHardFishing Adam I just rent my rod and reels. I buy my lures there at the store. It’s the only time I get to fish the ocean. Just listen to the guides. Dakota is excellent. You will find the hardest thing to do is wait when getting a run. Usually 10 to 15 seconds before reeling down on the conventional setup. I still have not got a Cubera yet. You will have an awesome time. The food is second to none and all the beer one can drink. Tight lines, can’t wait to see your videos from the trip

[@bigjim435]

What harbor do you launch out of?

[@martinilabebida1630]

What fishing rods do you use?

[@cristinearias6613]

[@Doodooheadguy-fishing]

Is this the bay or hmb

You are My Man on the West Coast!

[@elnegrogranblanco]

Great video!!! Keep the live bait videos coming and always remember No Smelt is too Big both my 40+ inch fish this year came off 9-11 inch smelts.

[@toddramsay977]

I follow Field Trips with Robert Field channel. He is a guest guide there several times a year. He and his girlfriend, who is a great fisherwoman catch crazy monster fish. I am going to go one of these years coming up. He has many videos of kayak fishing there. Nice Hali!

[@wilfreddavis437]

Nice catch Adam making me hungry

[@larrybulthouse455]

Having lived in Alaska there's nothing better eating than some wonderful halibut it's the best fish table fare in the world

[@DieHardFishing]

I couldn't agree more!

[@RGB06084]

Congrats again Adam!

[@kjackson3791]

What area did you fish

[@titelinez]

Nice doormat Adam!!!

[@haroldtakahashi8875]

💛...how would you describe the different head-shakes, or is it something that has to be experienced?...

[@DieHardFishing]

There is more bounce back with a halibut. Its hard to describe in words, definitely easier to experience first hand

[@chakarataguon7929]

Thanks again for the great vid!!! 👍

[@cristinearias6613]

Tell me about the Panama trip. 3 of us are in to go. Where do I get the information?

Sad!! CDFW Closes Nearshore Groundfish Fishery In Mendocino, San Francisco, And Central Management Areas on September 1, 2023.

[@philipphilip456]

Who is the maker of your fish ruler?

[@MagnusSentDooM]

I cannot see in the video but where exactly does the trap/treble hook go, in the belly, is it better under or on top? I finally caught two halibuts(about 14-17 inches each, no legal size yet) last weekend off the pier. One of live bait(smelt) and one on Berkeley's pink and white 5 inch gulp bait grub! Finally after 2-3 years off and on(i fish once every month or two 😢) thanks to u and all the youtubers for showing how its done!

[@DieHardFishing]

I do both top and bottom, depending on what is working better that day

[@salvadorvalencia55]

Hey Adam, I’ve been watching your fish for quite some time. I actually live near your area. Are you interested in one of these days tagging along I got a pro angular Hobie 19 ready to go out and test some new waters?

[@thithamduong2223]

I purchased 2, took awhile to get them but at the time no one had Kayaks. these are great.

[@robertevans00]

I pulled an almost identical one 3 weeks ago 38 1/2” 28 pounds!

[@cookitupppp]

How much weight do you typically use when you drop down with live bait?

[@DieHardFishing]

It depends on the conditions but I am usually using between 4 and 8 ounces

[@mikethetreeguy]

Nice work !!

[@bigwoo]

Not sure I like the way that seagull was eyeing your bait bucket 😆

[@DieHardFishing]

Yikes!

nice Adam, I just caught a 37.5. now on the hunt for the 40"

You and me both!

[@ytdeathninja1057]

was it high tide or low tide

[@bretthumphries7911]

Wow, nice fish, and nice, firm hook sets. Congrats. That gaff handle is too long and unwieldy for kayak fishing, maybe half that length would be good. Tight lines

[@bretthumphries7911]

I have some extra gaff hooks, if you want to build one. LMK. Tight lines

[@TheSparklyBeader87]

Adam, that Halibut looks tasty!

[@Stetsonhatman]

Huge bait = Huge Catch :)

[@kevsgonefishing]

I'm really interested in that trip , Are you bringing your own gear or renting there? Do you bring your own kayak or do you use there's? And if you don't mind sharing the price?

[@DieHardFishing]

If you contact the email in the video description ([e-mail]), they can answer all your questions. I believe they provide all the gear and kayaks and you can confirm the price with them! Should be a fun trip, hope you can make it!

[@kingslew1866]

Nice Adam! Congrats!😁

[@freesoul3371]

What was its weight????

[@Jifnei]

You don’t kill your fish before you bleed them?

[@markjoey1852]

Adam KILLS LOTS of undersized fish that should be released in the WATER!!!....instead of being brought aboard and MISHANDLED!!!....which is EXACTLY what this CLOWN did with that DINK UNSIZED Ling!!!....Mark J
