MASSIVE PREHISTORIC FISH CAUGHT FROM KAYAK |

In this episode of Field Trips: West Coast, I've made it to Oregon to fish the Columbia River for Chinook salmon, but I bite off WAY more than I expected when I hook into the biggest fish of my entire life on light salmon gear. Watch as I do battle for over 2 hours with the largest freshwater fish on the continent.
After the catch, one of us flips our kayak into the frigid waters of the Columbia.
Comment below and tell me about the biggest fish you've ever caught, or ask me any questions you have! I reply to every comment on my channel.
Watch to the end for a preview of episode 10!
Get the Lamiglas salmon rod I was using in this video, those things are INDESTRUCTIBLE: bit.ly/RJF_LamiglasKwik
Thanks to Justin Wesson for inviting me out and sticking with me throughout the fight. Follow him on Instagram @JUSTINS_REEL_REPAIR
Also thanks to Sixes River Rods for a BEAUTIFUL salmon rod they gifted me to congratulate me on my catch. Follow them on Instagram @SIXES_RIVER_RODS

[@RadReelingFishing]

It's obvious, you are living the life God intended for you. Amazing how you catch these fish that you are targeting. I remember the rooster fish episode, that was amazing how you caught that fish and now this giant sturgeon. Love watching your videos. I'm learning a lot about video production too! Thanks!

[@YakFishField]

+Rad Reeling Fishing thanks for the kind words man. It has been a whirlwind of a trip and God has definitely been helping me along. Glad you're enjoying the series!

[@sandrazonou1934]

Well done Robert !! this is one of the most complete and beautiful video of kayak fishing i see in all my life !! big fish, big fight, and a capsize in the end...Luckily, no one got hurt !!!my congratultions for your videos !!! every time a different adventure !!!

[@YakFishField]

+Giorgio Nouche thank you Giorgio! Glad you liked the video and thanks for watching!

[@HeadwatersKayak]

I remember watching this live. What a day. Once in a life time event for sure. Great job getting that beast up.

[@YakFishField]

Couldn't believe it man, luck was definitely on my side, especially with how that hook was in her. Literally hanging on by a thread.

[@pierrechauvet2580]

Headwaters Kayak i

[@mathewdavis-adventuresandd6643]

That was awesome. When I saw that hookset the smile drained from my face as I thought there was no way in heck you were ever going to touch that fish. I couldn't stop thinking about your paddle fish video and how hard it was to keep them hooked. Great job on finessing that huge fish in with that light tackle. Well, light for a monster sturgeon.

[@YakFishField]

+Mathew Davis - Adventures and DIY haha I wasn’t sure I’d ever get my hands on her either. Couldn’t believe it. She was definitely a fish I’ll never forget!

[@Deafleft]

this makes me happy! amazing pulling up something you never expected! especially when you've thought you've hooked bottom and it moves!

[@kendallcoblentz363]

That was insane man! I've been waiting for this video. I enjoy watching your videos, they have definitely have given me some more knowledge of what's around the West coast in places I wanna fish whenever I'm out there

[@YakFishField]

Glad you're enjoying em man. It's a hell of a coast and I'll definitely be going back.

[@FISHANE84]

Educational, entertaining AND inspirational Rob. Thank you for sharing :)

[@YakFishField]

+MagicYaker glad you enjoyed it bro!

[@slickimilano]

I was number 666 when I thumped up holly crap! Rob catching this monster with a hook barely on the skin under the mouth is one in a million chance! This catch is definitely to be remembered, well done keep it up bro cheers.

[@YakFishField]

Haha yea man luck was definitely on my side. Couldn't believe it. Thanks man!

[@RobertJones-ql4oj]

By far the best kayak fishing videos around, and this was one of your best. Thanks for taking us along on your adventure across America, you're inspiring a lot of us to get out there and find new species.... gotta go catch me a dinosaur now.

[@YakFishField]

+Robert Jones glad you're enjoying the series man! I love the struggle of going for something new, because it's that much more rewarding when you find success. This was one I'll never forget. Get out there and get one bro! If I can do it, anyone can

[@adolfo206]

awesome catch robert...stay safe out there those waters are rough

[@YakFishField]

+Adolfo thanks man!

[@christophprichard548]

Absolutely amazing, that is the best fishing episode I've watched in a long time. Nice Catch Bro👍👍👍

[@YakFishField]

Thanks Christoph! She was a fish I’ll never forget.

[@popp-de-pop2812]

Most magnificent catch I’ve ever seen. It’s good to see the recovery of a flip over and what to do.

[@YakFishField]

+LAD Emailme glad you found it helpful man! Always practice flipping back over in calm, warm water. That way you'll know what to do in a situation where it's not a good time to figure it out for the first time

[@davidborodziuk898]

Well played! Great video.

[@BayandBeyondFishing]

Battle of a friggin lifetime... amazing.

[@jasonbaker9852]

Look on your face when that beast breached was priceless, can't imagine! Lol - your videos are always awesome. Well done.

[@YakMotley]

Sweet video man! Great adventure!

[@YakFishField]

+Yak Motley yes it was man. Thanks!

[@patrickconnors8403]

No words for that epic, lol. It was a good thing you all were within reach of Scott; the loss of heat can be quick in the water. Nice recovery.

[@YakFishField]

+Patrick Connors yeah man I was worried about him but he was a good sport. He even appears in next week's episode and we have another mishap lol

[@andrewsnyder179]

[@Midwestfishingbros]

GOOD LORD!! That fish was MASSIVE!

[@YakFishField]

+Midwestfishingbros yeah dude, almost bit off more than I could chew haha

[@FishingAdventuresDubai]

Wow. Catch of a life time man. I didn't even believe that those salmon eggs will hold on to the line. It's amazing what is possible in fishing. I think it is your best catch

[@YakFishField]

+Umair Ahmed yeah very cool, they're sticky so they can stick to each other and the line

[@dylanclay5167]

+Fishing the Yukon thanks man. Luck was on my side but I'll take it!

[@Jacob-lw8km]

My new favorite video from you Robert, just awesome. I've had some epic surprises like this when out kayak fishing. I love going out catching musky, pike, catfish, bass from my kayak. But a sturgeon from my kayak would be one of my top 3 bucket list species. Can't wait for the next episode, keep up the awesome work Robert :)

[@YakFishField]

Awesome man, glad you liked it! Definitely had Lady Luck on my side to get that fish up on such light gear, but I'll take it! Musky is on my list for sure.

[@SHIMCAL]
