Prehistoric Fish! Huge ALASKA Lingcod! Alaska Adventure Part 1

[@erickamekonapeper4007]

I’m a Fisherman in Tulalip Washington. I love seeing you guys catch more fish in an hour with a pole than I catch in 5 hours with a Set Net! Wow I think it’s time for me to get North with your Lodge there! My Daughter just Blessed us with a Grandson! He’s only 6 months old now but he is going to be with me there when he’s older. God Bless you all with safety and protection and give thanks for the Bounty provided. I Pray 🙏🏼 for EVERY Salmon I catch and feel true respect for the Soul Sacrificed that provides life for many. 😌❤️🖖🏼🇺🇸

The lack of subscribers on your channel drives me nutts I don't get it. Sarah, keep up the hard work editing, don't think we don't notice the uptick in the overall quality of Nick's videos !

[@dalexdalex]

You've never thought that's because of Sarah's present? Maybe she is a wonderful woman, but who wants to see her superior maxilla dents permanently???

That brings back a lot of memories when I went in the early 90's. Learned how to tie their double hook leaders, learned how to cut the bait for motor-mooching, caught a 102.7 LB Halibut on a salmon rod, and I learned what a "greenie" is...not fun!! That place is so amazingly beautiful!!!!

I’m been watching your videos in a while and I live in Alaska and the best time to fish in Alaska is in June or July and you should come to Alaska again next year since some small communities like Angoon,Alaska and Yakutat and other communities have charters to catch halibut or salmon

I have been fortunate enough to have been to Alaska many times and have done some amazing fishing. I have sprayed and fished out of the same lodge.

So close to my old stomping grounds in my early 20's living in Vancouver and fishing from Vancouver Island outside of Nanaimo. The lings are very tasty, as are the Dungeness crab, actually anything you can yank out of the water around there is pretty good eats! Looking forward to your next episode!!

Nice! 👍

[@brandonskidmore2741]

Next time I recommend you bringing a head GoPro or chest Mount that way you can go we're about holding the camera in your hands so you can fish and do everything else that everybody else is doing instead of reeling with the wrong hand LMAO still love you Stan's fam just got to prep a little bit better before you go out fishing knowing that you're going to Alaska in the fishing is so awesome

Haha I heard some boobytrap lingo. Get tight sucker. We got back from 2 weeks in Alaska two weeks ago and iam ready to go back already. We usally go every two yrs but helps we have family up there. Speared my first halibut this yr. Have caught many up to 238 lbs but first time free diving and spearing one.

[@StanzFam]

That’s awesome! How deep was the water where you speared one??

[@mdv2043]

@@StanzFam 35'. We set out chum bags and waited about an hr and I jumped in. Awkward free diving in a dry spot. Lots of lead. Took me 4 dives and lots of looking around kelp but got a 56lber. Made a good shot. Not a stone but good holding shot. Fought it to the top on spring line and dispatched. I got a couple fish left on the bucket list and one is a sword. Islamorada maybe in the future...

If you’re on a charter 40” was max size this year. Unless you purchase quota from commercial boats (which we did wind up having one tag per boat)

Catching that many fish on a half day charter says a-lot for the fishery and the conservation measures.
