Kayak Fishing: My First Roosterfish |

In this episode, I head to the lump on Day 3, an area where the depths comes up from 300 feet to 30 feet that's known for big fish. The yellowfin tuna are slamming the poppers, but I make a stubborn decision that costs me what could have been an epic day.
Then on Day 4, I have ONE species on my mind: roosterfish. With just hours left before our trip comes to an end, I finally get a shot at knocking this species off my bucket list. The question is, can I land it?
Since this trip I've been back to Los Buzos three times and have really dialed in the fishery. If you'd like to join me for a week of fishing in this incredible fishery, email [e-mail] for more info.

[@VelocityFishing]

Hello Grayson haha

[@bryanwildasin168]

Awesome video once again! The rooster fish is top of my bucket list and hope to check it off soon! That place looks awesome and you say the people are also so that will prob be where I go to get my ✔️for the rooster.thanx for sharing your awesome adventures with us!👍🏻👊🏻🎣🍻

[@YakFishField]

That would be awesome and def gonna look into it! I already told the wife last night "we are going here" she said ok sounds great😬😎

[@salominqetos3007]

Bryan Wildasin my home is in Panama and you went there is cool

[@sevegomez7805]

I love the jack just floating around behind the kayak

[@YakFishField]

Yeah, I tried to find him after I released the rooster but couldn’t. Guessing he either recovered and went down or a shark got him.

[@hudsonr.743]

"That's the exciting thing about the ocean. Could be about anything really"

[@YakFishField]

Yep

[@WaynJul]

Thats great catching some tuna and topping it off with the Rooster fish. Snakes on a plane/ Snakes on a kayak.

[@YakFishField]

Hahaha "who put these MFing snakes on this MFing ocean!"

[@fishingwiththevalentins]

This video is so amazing, I have so many comments I don't know how to start, Whales, Snakes, Fish, Big Birds .... I'm still halfway watching and I'm blown away so far.

[@YakFishField]

Glad you’re enjoying it!

[@fishing-fanatic3427]

Good job on the rooster! Patience and perseverance paid off!!!

[@YakFishField]

Yeahhhhhhh buddy! Time and time again that proves to be the case.

[@austinprosser4179]

Intro "the question is can i land it"? Thumbnail, holding a Rooster fish! I wonder🤔...

[@YakFishField]

+Austin Prosser haha spoiler alert.

[@peytonmeidl3250]

[@JVDigital1979]

The way you caught that rooster fish was classic. Great video!

[@YakFishField]

I was so stoked man. Had given up hope

[@pajet3798]

Awesome video Robert. Special moment when you get a first of a species. It's pretty funny with the captions how every time you say yellowfin tuna it picks it up as "elephants". Keep up the good work Robert.

[@sillymortalz]

The sound of rain hitting the camera is satisfying 😂

[@YakFishField]

Haha

[@VentureTube]

Great video as usual Robert! C'MON!!

[@YakFishField]

+VentureTube thanks bro!

[@HiepNguyen-uu9vn]

One lucky guy Robert. Love seeing your videos.

[@YakFishField]

[@aidenmarks4034]

That rainforest looks beautiful

[@aidenmarks4034]

Robert Field Awesome!!

[@glenstrella3823]

Excellent video! Very entertaining and loved the excitement.

[@YakFishField]

I appreciate that Glen!

[@lorannorx3623]

Good fishing got me stoked to get back on the water and go hunting as I should...

[@YakFishField]

Nice man, glad to hear it!

[@mitchlentini404]

[@YakFishField]

Thanks Mitch!

[@rcagle123]

Awesome Man! Looks like one helluva trip!

[@YakFishField]

It definitely was!

[@mattihalmari2539]

Episode 2, let's go!

[@YakFishField]

Hope you dig it bro!

[@mattihalmari2539]

Robert Field I sure did. Grabbed a box of chocolates and jerky and watched the entire vid

[@MrAxel04]

this is paradise of fishing

[@YakFishField]

+Luca MrAxel yes it is!

[@Hook2Cook]

You could NOT plan that one! Awesome

[@scotty187prolearner9]

Dude I’ve never seen such a positive channel I mean literally scroll through the comments try and find one he hasn’t replied to literally coolest dude ever I frickin wish I could fish with u one day 😂

[@theoatmeal2853]

I almost cried laughing when the Jack was floating in the background while you realized you had a roosterfish on

[@YakFishField]

+Russell Wilson it was unfortunate, but it happens

[@robertkennedy976]

You should go to Costa Rica tamarindo beach I got several rooster fish

[@YakFishField]

+Neomanis Kennedy I'd love to fish Costa Rica!

[@DwayneMcguire]

Awesome show 👍 🎣 beautiful fish

[@YakFishField]

Thanks Dwayne!

[@suniidove9275]

Wow, Amazing Fishing!

[@YakFishField]

+KH Rural Life thanks!

[@farnorthpicker56]

Ok, I was torn between envy and jealousy..... until I saw those snakes! 😳😲

[@YakFishField]

Hahah

[@lildawn_9401]

I love your channel, your the motivation for me to keep searching for my favourite fish!

[@YakFishField]

Nice! Glad to hear it man

[@GoldGlov3]

Looks like an incredible experience

[@YakFishField]

+Justin it definitely was Justin!

[@east_tex_will8264]

That was awesome! Trip of a life time, thank you for sharing.

[@YakFishField]

My pleasure man, it was definitely an awesome trip! I've got more episodes coming, going to be posting once a week. If you dig the content I'd appreciate a sub!

[@brandonkirk103]

Amazing video as usual Robert, keep up the amazing work!

[@YakFishField]

Thanks man I appreciate that!

[@connordillon3911]

Please do this again this is amazing

[@YakFishField]

+Connor Dillon oh I will. More Panama episodes coming soon.

[@connordillon3911]

Awesome

[@shannonxpennywise]

Love how you just casually killed the Big Jack fish then just left it...Way to go!

[@YakFishField]

What do you propose I do when I’m hooked up to a fish? I went back and looked for the jack after releasing the rooster, but couldn’t find it. It either recovered or got eaten by a shark. Nothing gets wasted in the ocean.

[@shannonxpennywise]

Robert Field Fair enough.

[@zitounatecgnologie645]

it's a maizing big man big fish Nice 🐟🐋🐳🎣🎣🎣

[@YakFishField]

+Aziz 7affar thanks Aziz!

[@DestinationFishing]

Nice job man, I'm glad you got what you were looking for.

[@YakFishField]

Thanks! I was just a little excited.

[@quinnfitzgerald8500]

RIP Mr. Jack Krevalle 1 like=1 prayer

[@YakFishField]

+Quinn Fitzgerald haha it sucks man but it happens sometimes. I poured one out for tha homie

[@redlinerecordings8928]

[@sandyosbourne5737]

I love it

[@sandyosbourne5737]

[@sandyosbourne5737]

Quinn Fitzgerald ddddddddddddddddddddddddeeddddddddddeddeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeereeeeeeeeertt

[@YakFishField]

The Punk Rocker of the Sea! Such a cool fish.

[@RoundeyeSamurai]

Awesome video... great Rooster!!!!

[@YakFishField]

+Andrew Burtt thanks Andrew!

[@RushJunkieTV]

Well produced I enjoy this video

[@YakFishField]

[@heyyitsnickfam]

[@jrgford1]

[@YakFishField]

+J Corr thanks man I appreciate that

[@krisb6661]

Well done man, that Rooster is a beaut! Definitely one for my bucket list.

[@YakFishField]

The Punk Rocker of the Sea! Coolest looking fish I've caught IMO.

[@xtasyboi]

Great commentary and reaction to the rooster fish!

[@YakFishField]

Haha can't fake that reaction... I was stoked.

[@2010nvillanueva]

Awesome fishing!

[@YakFishField]

Thanks Nelson!

[@roycooper7132]

Wow amazing video like always! Nice job on the rooster, Tight lines Robert 🎣

[@YakFishField]

+Roy Cooper thanks Roy!

[@Alessandro-tq9ed]

I remember watching this when it came out

[@larrymcmakin1153]

Great video. Congrats on the rooster!

[@YakFishField]

Thanks Larry!

[@jasonpoultry0]

When you got bit on that blue runner live bait rig "oh shit" haha! Fantastic video as always Robert. Much love. "Snicklezs" from Instagram

[@YakFishField]

Hahaha it was on fire that morning! You know the bite is good when you can't even talk about one fish before the next one hits!

[@SeaDragonAngler]

these videos are top quality, well done..... amazing fish

[@YakFishField]

Thanks man!

[@singichris]

New to your channel, addicted already. Great video, subscribed and ready for more.

[@YakFishField]

Thanks Chris! My #FieldTrips series is airing now! Episode 6 just dropped tonight.

[@redladyfish4201]

Congratulations on that rooster fish, that was amazing, that just show you that some accidents in kayak fishing can turn into unexpected surprises! Great job on the editing👌

[@YakFishField]

+Red Lady Fish it was a special moment for sure, and as you can tell I was just a little stoked ;) Thanks for watching!!

[@19RedRhino89]

That's an awesome fish

[@YakFishField]

They are definitely an amazing species.

[@SHIMCAL]

Great work Robert, the Rooster catch was crazy funny

[@YakFishField]

Hard to hide that kind of excitement! I couldn't believe it man. The ocean smiled upon me that day.

[@limirl]

I would have paddled for the airport as soon as i saw those snakes, nothing freaks me out more

[@YakFishField]

Hahaha

[@darthvapor3272]

Epic vid! Nice catch!

[@YakFishField]

Thanks bro!

[@RapalaArmy]

Nice rooster Rob! Well done.

[@YakFishField]

+Rapala Canada thanks guys! I've caught quite a few fish on your lures out there in my 2 return trips since this video.

[@whdclan4689]

No need to worry about the snakes they do not care about us sometimes they get close to the boat to be curious

[@YakFishField]

+Whd Clan yeah, I've been told it'd be almost impossible for them to bite you because they have very small mouths

[@quinnm.2314]

INCREDIBLE.

[@wicky3927]

great videos dude keep up the good work!!!!

[@YakFishField]

Thanks man!

[@KayakFreaks]

Definitely a killer video man💪

[@YakFishField]

Thanks Nicholas! I'm editing the west coast series now... it'll start dropping soon. :D

[@KayakFreaks]

Robert Field sweet so stoked for that!! Just hit 400 subs and 13,000 views haven't posted a video in a while gonna need to start editing myself 😂

[@YakFishField]

Get on it bro! Haha

[@FISH-OHOLIC]

Watching this makes me happy with a slight hint of jealousy mate. There's never enough time when your out in the water. I'd be out fishing 12 days a week if I could get away with it. Great video Great information Great location 10/10 for me 👏

[@YakFishField]

Couldn’t agree more man.

[@videoschassepeche]

Very nice video 👍🏻

[@YakFishField]

+videos-chasse-peche.com thanks!

[@David-eh6qc]

I went on vacation to Panama a couple weeks ago and caught some Tuna and Snappers

[@YakFishField]

+Donkey nice work! I love it out there.

[@ChoiceKayakFishing]

Cool video man. After watching your video I feel like I have do this. Thanks for all the info on you vid

[@YakFishField]

I head to Los Buzos 3 times a year and guide groups there now. Join me out there! losbuzos.com

[@ChoiceKayakFishing]

Robert Field what are the dates you go there and how much does it cost?

[@bajanlife7130]

Good stuff man...

[@YakFishField]

+bajan seacat thanks bajan!

[@mariawolterstorff145]

Don't worry, the yellow-bellied sea snakes won't jump in the boat. They're actually extremely docile when it comes to snakes. However, it still doesn't mean you should play with them, but running your kayaks alongside them to take a look won't leave you in any danger.

[@YakFishField]

+Maria Wolterstorff good to know!

[@Jacob-lw8km]

Epic as always, I'm now planning to go to this resort soon. It looks awesome!

[@Jacob-lw8km]

Also just wanted to say that you are my favorite KZbinr and that you are the reason I got into kayak fishing especially fishing for musky from a kayak. Which is now my favorite style of fishing. And it's all thanks to you man, you are the best and your videos are awesome. I hope they never stop, keep up the good work man :)

[@YakFishField]

It's my favorite place to fish that I've been to so far. You can join me on a trip out there bro, I guide groups 3-4 times a year there now. Hit up [e-mail] and tell em you want to go with me sometime and they'll send you more info.

[@YakFishField]

And thanks for the kind words brother! Glad you dig the content. Encouragement like that is what keeps me doing the videos bro, so I really appreciate it!

[@joe581]

What a video! This is what KZbin should be:)

[@YakFishField]

+Joe Conlon thanks Joe!

[@sahia4]

I can't understand why you don't have more subscribers.

[@YakFishField]

+sahia girl I'm not too worried about the numbers. I'll just keep doing my thing and if people dig it, the subs will come!

[@nickcharles7236]

Panama sounds like an amazing place to go fishing

[@YakFishField]

It is Nick! My favorite I've been to so far

[@osteens_outdoorsosteen7960]

Congrats on that rooster

[@YakFishField]

+trevor osteen thanks Trevor!

[@Jorgerodriguez-pe1wf]

Awesome video.. I'm actually planning a trip with a buddy to Los buzos .. very excited about that..

[@michellemuskeyn329]

I love fishing, but because of where I live (Vancouver Canada) I don't really get to ocean fish much. I've never seen heard of, let alone seen a rooster fish! So cool man, thanks so much for making this video and showing me one. Definitely going on my bucket list to catch one along with a stergen, tarpon, lion fish, Goliath grouper and any type of shark would be AWSOME!!!!!

[@YakFishField]

They are an incredible species! Sturgeon are super fun too, I'll have 2 videos of them coming up in the next couple months. I was up in Oregon actually, not TOO far from you! Subscribe to my channel to catch those vids when they air. Thanks for watching!!

[@michellemuskeyn329]

Robert Field thanks for taking the time to respond to my comment! :)

[@michellemuskeyn329]

The Wanderer yes, I know that! I guess what I meant was I don't own a boat, and we don't have the cool tropical fish here like they have in Florida! Edit: my original comment was poorly written.... I know.

[@nicolasmartinez5843]

nice vid again keep up the good work

[@YakFishField]

Thanks Nicolas!

[@xxbotflygaming4628]

Yes i was in the first 100 to watch this video i have been waiting for the release of this vodep

[@YakFishField]

Thanks Tyler!

[@paultrapani7747]

by far and away the largest fish i have ever caught was a 112 pound rooster fish, caught off the coast of costa rica

[@YakFishField]

+Paul Trapani nice, that's a beast!! Such a cool species

[@jackfranson1243]

2:56 that was so smooth

[@YakFishField]

Haha

[@riderslife7311]

Awesome video man wish I could catch those fish

[@YakFishField]

+Riders Life you can! Come join us at Los Buzos bro, I guide trips out there now

[@cullenscott2484]

Very cool video man. Found your channel today and it's very cool!

[@YakFishField]

Thanks Cullen! If you dig the content, I'd appreciate a subscribe! More videos coming soon.

[@cullenscott2484]

Robert Field don't worry I already did!

[@bluewolfgalaxy8666]

Awsome video man keep it up👍

[@YakFishField]

+BlueWolf Galaxy thanks bro!

[@alessandromela7072]

You are fantastic i love your video

[@YakFishField]

+Passione Pesca thank you!

[@FishingAdventuresDubai]

Grear video man.

[@YakFishField]

+Umair Ahmed thanks Umair!

[@Hm-tj8df]

Those fish are freaking huge

[@YakFishField]

some of em!

[@OffTheReel]

Funny how the world works that way haha. Thank the fishing gods you didnt close your bail!

[@YakFishField]

+OffTheReel haha right?! What I took away is never give up. Stay persistent and eventually, with a little luck, you'll get what you're after.

[@ct7024]

damm finnaly someone on the roosters

[@YakFishField]

Yeah. I've been back a couple times since this trip and we catch a lot of roosters there now that we've figured them out better.

[@petersrum]

Great Video, One day i'll get over there! Congrats on the rooster!

[@YakFishField]

It's incredible out there Peter!

[@Redaliso]

2:55 that skill bro

[@YakFishField]

Haha thanks for watching Rob!

[@theonetheonlyw5483]

Robert, great video, ya got yourself a new subscriber here! Keep up the good work!

[@YakFishField]

+TheOneTheOnly W thanks!!

[@BEARDedOutdoors]

Great episode!

[@YakFishField]

Thanks man!

[@DwayneMcguire]

Very welcome man awesome fishing man 👍🎣 ,,,,,,lol love the try something and edited it didnt work lol cracked me up

[@82rocksolid]

Haha! It's a Rooster, Its a Rooster!!! Awesome man! Like I said Rooster's are my favorite fish! Nice catch and nice release man! Congrats! You got a new subscriber!

[@YakFishField]

Hahaha could you tell I was a little stoked? Thanks man!

[@82rocksolid]

Yeah for sure probably looked like a replay of when I caught my first one! They are awesome looking fish! I'm pretty lucky that my dad lives in Cabo. I'll keep on watching your videos man. Be cool to have you down to Cabo sometime! Tight lines bro!

[@canamcrazyman9301]

Nice set up

[@YakFishField]

+canamcrazyman thanks!

[@kashalam192]

The snake you were talking about was a yellow bellied sea snake.

[@YakFishField]

Yes it was

[@tysonmorgan346]

your channel definitely deserves more views, the editing alone is pretty fantastic, you do it yourself?

[@mattihalmari2539]

Lyrith yes he does it himself

[@YakFishField]

Thanks! Yes, I edit all my own stuff. I did just hire my first intern that has helped me with a few videos, like the Ladder Shark Fishing video. But just about everything else I edited.

[@tysonmorgan346]

Good job man, I absolutely love it, and even though most of the time the music is the same you put it in at the right moments and it fits so good every single time. It's really good quality editing that you've done. The camera angles are also well done in my opinion.

[@YakFishField]

I really appreciate that bud. I'm self taught thru Google, haha. I have a Masters in Finance but when I started filming my fishing trips, it didn't take long before I fell in love with the whole process. Being a one man show is tough, and I'll never be able to match the production quality that a team can, it's fun and it means I get to do different stuff every day and control the whole process. It's been a learning experience and I have a long way to go still. Enjoying the ride though. Thanks for watching and for the kind words!

[@tysonmorgan346]

Oh man, are you kidding with the whole "won't be as good as a team" you do just as good and at times definitely better than teams of producers.

[@ifish4fish172]

nice kayak setup 😃

[@slikrik6098]

Congrats on your Rooster,BaddaZZ

[@YakFishField]

Thanks man! As you can tell from my reaction, I was a little stoked!
