Surprising Catch in my Deepwater Hoop Net Drop!

[@coreycorey2220]

Great to see you making videos again. People like you and your videos. I like to see those kiddos again. Fishing maybe during the springtime

[@ChrisPfish2]

Thank you

[@paulkaplan1147]

Always great to try something new. Caught my first Sablefish a couple weeks ago. Can't wait till the ocean calms down to try it again.

[@commonclay0070]

Tie it to the dock before you even launch it. That’s brilliant! I launch alone sometimes too and always tie to my truck. I’ll have to try doing it that way. Love your videos!

[@ChrisPfish2]

Thanks for watching!

[@commonclay0070]

@ the sticky worms those are amazing! Thanks for sharing. 😃

[@elpescador78]

Good to see you and video men

[@theoldsurffisher1943]

A very informative and interesting video. Hagfish slime is defense against predators. If bitten they inject it into the predators mouth. It expands into gills or blocks air way and and can kill the predator. You a capable and confident sailor to go out solo!!

[@ChrisPfish2]

Thanks for watching

[@georgehomenko5358]

Great video, Chris. Misery loves company, I guess. I've had several days like yours of crabbing this year. As you mentioned, the weather has been a problem. Hoping for something better soon.

[@tuomasholo]

Chris, Merry belated Christmas to you and your fam. Thanks for the upload.

[@Chuck1284-]

Happy Birthday!

[@johnscheffel1157]

Happy belated birthday Chris

[@billphoto1167]

Great video, I’ve always heard about Hagfish but never knew about slime and their usefulness. Thank you.

[@ChrisPfish2]

thanks for watching, happy you found it interesting

[@AhmedMahmoud-lg6em]

Just got a pair for Christmas can’t wait to use them! Those would be good bait lol

[@philrilp6711]

Classic that lady cheese head giving you guys the stink eye in that photo from Lambo. Thanks for the informative slime eel post, fish on Chris!

[@ChrisPfish2]

i know right, majority of the packers fans were friendly. After the game a couple got cocky so i let them know we are 5-0 last 5 playoff matchups and have more super bowls :) Thanks for watching

[@haroldtakahashi8875]

💛...those are like marine cousins of the graboids...

[@Whodafuqcareswyt]

That’s crazy chris….. all the crab I’ve caught this year have been 194+

[@johnmartin8841]

Thanks caught 2 of them in 130 ft. In a hoop net up north did not know what they were

[@ChrisPfish2]

interesting... i think it has to do with the floor bottom. you get crab too or no?

[@johnmartin8841]

Yes it was mud bottom and my bait trap looked like yours

[@johnmartin8841]

There was a few crab in net

[@KonzyBfishin916]

Awesome video. How far do you go out west from Bodega Bay to find 50 fathom? Just curious because I was thinking about going out for rockfish when weather permits.

[@matthewstephens6779]

Love the boat nice

[@jaycarmichael435]

Thank God you made a video do you know how many milk curtains I've turned around looking for your face... Nice to see you back😊😊😊😊😊

[@ChrisPfish2]

lol, thanks for watching

[@EastBayLife510]

nice intro.. the hagfish slime,, thats what batman uses for his web.

[@ChrisPfish2]

lol, could be

[@fishingaddict5638]

Very interesting indeed. At what point or how high of the sea is when you say let’s not go?

[@ChrisPfish2]

I think 7ft is the cutoff. Wind is a huge factor and the frequency of the wave.

[@kanakanorcal2565]

That was interesting Chris. I’m in American Canyon and have been fishing/crabbing/hunting Northern California for….a long time. Maybe we can hook up some day.

[@DieHardFishing]

A lingcod would eat that in a heartbeat!

[@ChrisPfish2]

i know, would be fun to try. Need to see if I can catch the hagfish on hook and line. Doing the commercial way you still have to "land" them before you could use them.

[@dennisjesse-o7z]

Update on Ambush hoop nets .CCR Title 29.80 (b) . They ARE considered type B fishing gear, and are LEGAL in Cali during Dungy season, but if you ask on search, you get a "NO, they are not legal". There is some bad info on search, on the use of ambush hoop nets

[@reelin_it_with_jake]

Wow those hag fish have some nasty slime!

[@ChrisPfish2]

yeah, its pretty crazy. thanks for checking out the video

[@Marv2049]

The website for Hi Sea says free shipping on orders over $50.00, but when you checkout it says $9.95 expedited shipping, no other option.

[@xxkasperxx]

King Tides have the bottom churned up ? Definitely some brown water ...

[@ChrisPfish2]

yeah i think king tide, maybe run off from all the rain. lots of wind and big swells. thanks for watchin

[@Cooper1]

What if you tied the trap to a cleat and dragged it behind the boat on the way back to the launch? Would that clean it off?

[@ChrisPfish2]

that would. It would put a lot of strain on the line. I dont think I would trust the cheap 100ft rope I added. It was rated at 150lb. But good idea!

[@stevestobaugh1081]

I have seen them unloading slime eels at fort bragg princess dock a few times, looks like a mess..

[@litoleuterio7924]

Do you get bigger size boots?

[@ChrisPfish2]

i wear size 12 shoes and same size hisea boots.

[@litoleuterio7924]

@ just ordered a pair. Thanks for the videos

[@williamrogers4556]

Two crabs better than zero crabs 🦀

[@ChrisPfish2]

lol right. thanks for watching

[@aquatictailchaser]

Could use it for bait maybe ??

[@fishbustin7926]

Your birthday is the same as mine.

[@rayrayfro4940]

You know I like how you check things out before you take off of the boat just like people doing planes I mean you made sure was greased up and everything you topped everything off just to make sure I like that safety first and I also like was it looks like you have diamond plate aluminum Anna underneath the front of the boat I like that too that’s what I would do if I had a boat I never thought about when I did have a boat years ago but that was years ago pretty cool dude

[@christopherwooster8080]

I’m going to guess it’s a flat fish. I haven’t seen anything yet

[@ChrisPfish2]

thanks for the guess!

[@SteveFromWyoming]

Yea pretty disgusting looking Hag fish, but I think your right about the Lings they'd gobble them up.

[@stevet8121]

hagfish slime. Is that kind of like getting married? Be careful, boys.

[@w1ll339]

hagfish slime will choke out any fish trying to eat it only thing i’ve seen eat them are sea lions and seagulls

[@rayrayfro4940]

You are now Spider-Man webs. You gonna learn how to use it, though a lot of practice, shooting webs at her hands like that.

[@seizetheday-fishingfoodand5626]

Positive vibes, hope to fish with you 1 day kzbin.info3DGSEptczy0?si=UPszNjUkXaFetb6u

[@ChrisPfish2]

cool vid. Thanks for watching and good meeting you!
