Puget Sound Shark Fishing. Not Dogfish!

You are not allowed to target sevengill sharks in Puget Sound. Unfortunately, it is hard not to catch them when you are trying to catch soupfin sharks. They can be a pain and I show you why in this video. They are a really cool species of shark.

That shark made you work for it. Twisting, biting thing. It still amazes me how many species are out there I know nothing of. Reading some of your comments, it is true for sharks as well. Very cool!

[@PeelingLine]

He sure did. There are 11 species of shark in these waters. It is amazing the different species in the gulf vs the pacific.

[@HoodCanalBrad]

Pretty cool but I’ve heard holding a fish by the tail to lift out of the water can mess them up as it can separate their vertebrae. It was a big no no when I sold salmon to lift the fish by the tail and did cause spinal bleeding into the meat. Sharks may be tougher than salmon of course and I know they are challenging to hold as they are so squirmy with a biting mouth.

[@PeelingLine]

Thank-you. They definitely are tougher than salmon. They also have cartilaginous spines which are more flexible. I think if we were damaging their vertebrae we would see it when they were swimming away and a bunch would be washing ashore from internal bleeding.

[@lesstalkmorefishing1000]

Wow now that's something new! Didn't know you had shark species as potential targets there. Sure doesn't look like the kind a place one would catch a shark haha

[@PeelingLine]

Right! The water is shallow and you can catch them in the day time. There are quite a few species of shark in our waters. I hope to do some night fishing for them. Here is an image of all the sharks in Puget Sound not including the great white. external-preview.redd.it/n9PyzQvBzJ3W8xA07i7ohtGJWDXSlRywM69NZ77zD-8.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=18c5d55bffadebc2b7f81913770123e661b01a4f

[@lesstalkmorefishing1000]

@@PeelingLine are all of them a potential catch?

[@PeelingLine]

@@lesstalkmorefishing1000 The basking shark is a filter feeder and feeds on plankton. It would be tough to catch but people have done it salmon fishing. 3 on the list (sixgill, sevengill and thresher) you can't target. But if you are fishing for sharks, skates or halibut you may get them as by catch. So potentially yes but I haven't found any on people catching most of those around here.

[@mikeydog1000]

What kind of shark is that?

[@ThePiscatorian360]

Hopefully you get your soupfin. I have only came across dogfish as bycatch in my fishing adventures around the sound. Tight lines my friend.

[@PeelingLine]

I hope so too! No shortage of dogfish. I'm sure if everyone salmon fishing took them home and ate them the population would be decimated pretty quickly.

[@ShanePingStyle]

This looks like such a fun game for fighting with sea creature, hopefully you have great fun and enjoy the entertainment game. New species for your references: there are many different type of Arctic freshwater fishing in northern Alaska, we had tried to fish Arctic Grayling, Arctic Char, etc. and as well as arctic cod in the salt water...

[@PeelingLine]

I hope to go to Alaska for all their species. There is a lake in Washington that has grayling. You have to hike to it.

[@DpuckFishingandOutdoors]

That shark was so trying to take a piece of your buddy. 😮 That was a cool orca encounter!

[@134rwa]

Sharks are some of the coolest fish in the ocean. The way that Rascal ties itself in the line, it's almost as bad as catching an eel, Haha. Seeing that Orca was totally awesome.

[@PeelingLine]

The orcas were much better in person. They swam in with the tide and there were 7 of them. The video is when they were swimming out with the tide. I agree with them being the cool fish. They can be a pain though and you have to retie after they do this.

[@CaptainZac]

Wow cool looking sharks - congrats on a great outing! I'm glad none of those fish bit your hands - looked like they were thrashing and trying to bite towards where you were holding them. Thanks for sharing and tight lines! Captain Zac

[@PeelingLine]

Yeah definitely try and bite you. Sorry for some reason this comment only shows up when I look on the mobile app and not the computer

[@F.A.R.T]

wow, what a catch! seven gill shark, first time I've heard of or see it. really cool. Loves those orcas too!

[@PeelingLine]

Thanks. They are a species of cow sharks the most primitive sharks.

[@ChoombaMan]

Awesome video, I've been trying to catch my first dogfish/shark with my friend over the summer in places like Edmonds or Mukilteo but we haven't had much luck. If you don't mind sharing, where was this at?

[@PeelingLine]

I said I wouldn't share this location. But I'll try get out and make another video and share the spot soon.

[@CatchGrowPickCook]

looks so fun! and i didn’t know we could get/keep these here! always learning something new from Brett !

[@honeyholehuntersfishing]

that looked like alot of fun, always wanted to catch a shark!..great video bro!👍💪

[@PeelingLine]

Thank-you. They are fun to catch.

[@FishingWithBottles]

Cool catch. Not sure if we have soupfin or sevengill sharks up here.

[@PeelingLine]

Here are all the sharks of British Columbia. jackiehildering.files.wordpress.com/2018/08/bcsharks-requinscb-eng-e1534018926279.jpg

[@BoykoOutdoors]

nice man, didn’t even know we had those sharks in the puget sound!

[@PeelingLine]

We have quite a few shark species besides dogfish.

[@EngineeringHooksets]

Nice catch man! Cool shot of the Orca too

[@PeelingLine]

Thanks. It was tough to get that shot. There were 7 of them that came by twice but you never knew where they were going to pop up.

[@Khannasarulla]

Amazing Viode. I know it's a question not supposed to be asked, but can you at least let me know which side of Puget Sound is this. Please don't share your honey hole, but at least a place where I can try catching one :)

[@TheOutdoorCatch]

Props on getting all that line off. Nice catch!👍

[@PeelingLine]

Thanks 👍

[@MattVavrochFishing]

Those sharks are insanely cool! Super jealous of that!

[@CProFishingWithWayne]

Always fun catching Sharks no matter what species. Cool environment to be catching them from shore also.

[@PeelingLine]

For sure. Next time I come to Florida (probably not for a while) I want to go for sharks.

[@Universe900]

How about we leave the sharks alone and let marine biologists and scientists do what they need to do. Leave sharks alone, just like any other fish they get trama from it and we also shouldn’t be condoning to fish sharks for fun.

[@JunTsOutdoors]

Are those thresher sharks? I heard that they’re very good to eat. Awesome catch Brett 👍👍

[@PeelingLine]

Thanks. No the soupfin sharks are hound sharks and the sevengill sharks are cow sharks. There are thresher sharks here but you aren't allowed to fish for them. The third species you can't fish for is the sixgill shark which is also a cow shark but you can't even take those out of the water.

[@208flatheads3]

@@PeelingLine pretty sure u can't take 7 gills outa the water either..

[@PeelingLine]

@@208flatheads3 Incorrect, 6 gills can't be removed (check the app). If I didn't remove it and untangle the shark it would have died.

[@208flatheads3]

@@PeelingLine does it matter when technically u ain't aloud to target either of them? Lol there used to be a handful of guides that did trips for them before fish&wildlife shut them down even for catch and release.

[@PeelingLine]

@@208flatheads3 I wasn't targeting either species though. I was trying to catch a soupfin shark. WDFW messaged me about the video asking if I was targeting 7 gills. So I think they care. Too bad about the shut downs. Washington has the worst fishing rules.

[@osufwiffo]

When you're fishing for shark, what type of line were you using ?

[@PeelingLine]

I think in this it was 65 pound power pro mainline. I used 200 pound steel wire with haywire loop for the leader.

[@dansSawfish5604]

I've never caught those kind of sharks before. I've got dogfish and a 12 ft. basking shark i thought they ate only plankton. Those sevengill are cool looking It's amazing what we got in Puget Sound. Was that deep water where you are fishing? Nice video ...🎣

[@PeelingLine]

Thanks. Not very deep. Maybe 40 feet at most. Although you'd think it was much deeper with those orca swimming by. How did you get a basking shark?

[@MichaelCasanovaMusic]

Huh, interesting. I didn’t know you guys got sevengill sharks in Puget sound. I knew there are six gills but they like to stay quite deep

[@PeelingLine]

Even the six gills come shallow at night.

[@MichaelCasanovaMusic]

@@PeelingLine If you don't mind me asking, what part of the sound is this in, or where is it common to see Sevengills? I'm not a fisherman, I'm more interested in underwater filming and photography.

[@foodruraltv]

Nice upload video, have a nice day, I’m new friend always like

[@joescarpadventures]

Pretty, interesting-looking species, but, boy, can they curl around and nail you! Hope you soon get your target species!

[@PeelingLine]

Yeah they're like catfish on steroids with their rolling.

[@TheFlounderPounder]

That around kopachuck? Or fox island?

[@xXpurplenurple007Xx]

What general area of sound is this in?

[@PeelingLine]

South

[@Vincentdonnelly5158]

Slow is good. Just peace on the bank. Better luck next time.

[@PeelingLine]

Better to have a slow day with company though. Otherwise you just sit staring at your phone.

[@jamesbarker2872]

Can u target sharks any time of year? And do u need anything more than your basic fishing license to fish for them in Washington? Asking as a fellow angler because I'd like to try this it looks like a blast

[@PeelingLine]

Yes there aren't seasons for sharks. Just need salt water license. You can't target 7 gill, 6gill or threshers but you will get them fishing for soupfin or sturgeon. Just make sure you don't remove the 6gills from the water.

[@sidchronicle2365]

I live in the pnw and wanna catch one but can't find anything online for spots. Where do I go to catch one? Also what bait do I use?

[@PeelingLine]

You can't target 7gill sharks in Washington. This also isn't my spot to share.

Yep, you can't target them. But you can't exactly choose what fish bites your bait.
