Kayak Fishing - 71 Pound Halibut Caught on the Washington Coast

[@LoletaEric]

MUCH respect! Way to get all that done on camera. Cool as ice, Man - that is the best yakfishing I've seen. Totally out of control flying gaff footage and use!

[@Olympic_TryAthlete]

1:58 Loved watching the line come off the reel.

[@Murfman40]

Perfect play on that fish...you waited until your rod loaded up then gave him a little attitude...good job, sweet fish!

[@HuyFishin]

CRAZY bucketlist of mine!

[@scotty2307]

I have not purchased one yet. I don't know when I will. I really like the Hobie Mirage drive (pedal) kayaks though, since using your legs for propulsion leaves your hands free. They are expensive though. You can get an inexpensive yak at Costco or Cabela's. For fishing, you probably will want a sit on top model. Good luck. .

[@GST90]

Awesome fight! Congrats on an awesome catch.

[@DaWiz581]

awesome vid and catch. What a barndoor that a hali!

[@MrLongboarder87]

That was epic! Well done! If you get the chance do a video on the rig your using. I didnt get a good look at it.

[@BennnnyBoooom]

Awesome video!

[@RockHopperNCKA]

BAD ASS! Great footage and helluva sleigh ride!

[@MrGregAndrew]

That is a beauty. Gotta get up that way one of these days for a shot at a yak pacific.

[@scotty2307]

Wow Rory, what a fish! I am going to be getting a Hobie Revolution 13. With all of the yack fishing videos I have been watching, I am really starting to get the fishing bug. If you ever get in to Everett, stop by Harbor Marine and say hi. Ask for Scotty.

[@scotty2307]

I think it's a Hobie Outback.

[@Flienlow]

Scott, did you ever get a Kayak? After watching this vid, I am getting the fever! Not really sure which YAK to go with though (if at all.) This looks like so much fun!

[@HermanoToro]

LOVE how you made the video. Loading the Hali up, and then it cuts to you rowing your ass home. Pretty comical!

[@Thresherhunter]

Duuuuuuuude. Our California halibut look like dinks compared to that. Nice gaff work, cool a ice

[@PacificCoastHunterz]

Holy crap, that initial hit on the line when he first hooked on. Great job, man!

[@unkledookieful]

Now that's kayak fishing

[@savell234]

How deep were your fishing? How far offshore? Great job.

[@jwill329]

It's an Outback

[@AuSableAngler]

What's the model number of that Shimano Trevala?

[@JoeLogger]

You are the man

[@cubankong75]

That is freaking awesome

[@CckfNet]

Awesome

[@charleswardle381]

Awesome! I love how you hog tie the fish, absolutely brilliant. I'm definitely using that idea if ever needed.

[@mexican707]

Are you jigging the bottom with a led weight?

[@Broxty]

Aweeeeeeeesome! Such a rush eh? Great video.

[@Animeglider]

every time I watch your rod bend, I keep thinking that it's going to snap...it's amazing how durable it is and how you handle it...

[@ljscallywag]

nice work!!!....your my hero!!!

[@steve1953bass]

Your Adeline must have really been pumping assume job.

[@Flienlow]

What yak is that, and how far out are you?

[@Zeke8762]

What kind of Hobie?

[@Boy777USA]

Thank you - nice video! How did you kill him - cut some artery or what?

[@reubprue8602]

Nice catch! Funny how you speak not a word the whole time. Now that's peaceful fishing.

[@WildernessMedic]

Holy shit you have the same kayak, rod, and reel that I use.

[@rockinbrockya34]
