Poke Poling for Monster Monkeyface Eel at Tillamook Bay Jetty

Tried the "poke poling" method today at the Tillamook Bay Jetty and it was successful. It's the biggest monkeyface eel I've ever caught.
Made a good meal out of it for dinner, pan fried until golden, yum!

Hello nice catch. I watched this video a few times and then went down to barview jetty and tried my luck at poke poling and caught 3 monkey faced eels all about 2.5 feet in length. Great teaching video keep the videos coming

[@gwhitney6246]

I'd love to try this! Nice catch 👌

Heard of fishing like this my entire life (48 years old) on the Oregon coast....gonna try it for sure! Mostly heard of catching Greenling, but the Monkeyface changes the game a bit!

[@bebe0928]

Lol, ya I agree with you

[@insolentstickleback3266]

Thank you for the video. 👍🏻

[@joevales6775]

Thank you for sharing a good video. One of my favorite states is Oregon. Usually head down once or twice a year to do surf fishing and crabbing. Not so lucky though, but hopefully heading down there once border opens up and head down from Vancouver, BC for sportfishing down there. Cheers!

[@bebe0928]

Thanks for your support and kind words! Yah I hope the border will reopen soon, I go up to BC several times a year for great food and the great outdoor too. Cheers

[@bobnaidoo1]

Great video! Love to do a trip with you one day !

[@bebe0928]

Would love to!

Monkey faced eel can live outside of water for hours. A humane thing to do is to hit it on the head, and cut gills to drain. Taste better this way as well. Also be careful with teeth as it can bite your finger off!

[@kevinwest4488]

in my humble opinion.. i believe eel to be the best sushi.. i have caught small eel in my crab traps.. but nothing of size.. ima watching this video intently

[@kevinwest4488]

my mind is blown.. of all the years i spent fishing the rocks/jetties.. i have never seen that done.. that is fantastic.. an you tube giant id expect from you.. thatsa wow sir.. really good.

[@madmax8620]

Its not an eel. Its a fish . Misleading name.

[@JsaephanhMienMusic]

I live in Portland I would like to come to fish with you one day when is the next fishing trip?

[@yd1316]

Question: only tillamook has this eel or most Jetty in Oregon have this eel?

[@bebe0928]

most jetty from Northern California to Canada has this specie.
