[@Hook2Cook]

Yes!!!! Your breathing after the hookset was a good indication the adrenaline kicked in!

[@jamesskidmore5776]

I was thinking the same thing...lol

[@whyno713]

If he can get his grunts to sound like Gerard Butler's, he might have some cross-over acting opportunities. That action sequence was the sounds of good fishing.

[@kumaboyy.7443]

OLAF sighting! Good doggy! 🐶🐶🐕🐕 Nice catch, Adam!

[@joeanderson418]

Great video. Thank you for sharing. Can you do a video of your setups .

[@terryhowie3099]

"That's a Sea Bass".

[@ogoe_joeoutdoors1088]

I'm disappointed, you were given explicit direction to stay off Karen's kids turf🤣

[@DonGrigorianFishing]

He’s back in the “secret spot” again… you know a mile out from the harbor… 🤣🤣

[@codysummers934]

Dumb and dumber ran outta meth, so they hawked their trailer to buy more. They won't be out for a while until they steal another one.

[@mikeconnor5668]

that is one fine fish. and you worked at getting it! That's why they call it fishing and not catching.... although you got a nice one!

[@jerryneff6018]

Watch out for the evil empire commercial fishermen. Awesome fish.

[@ahhdat]

That thing fight hard. Great catches.

[@carlduplessis6531]

In South Africa it's called a geelbek🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@thresher4]

Yeah Adam, got him a croaker! I don't thinkI could fight a large fish in a kayak. That takes some doing. Talk about a scramble! Cheers.

[@thatonebeone]

Watch out for the salmon boys they own the ocean 🤣

[@DonGrigorianFishing]

The caterpillar mustache kid owns that section of the ocean!!!

[@thatonebeone]

@@DonGrigorianFishing thats it talking smack...MEET ME AT THE DOCKS 🤣

[@DonGrigorianFishing]

@@thatonebeone I’m right here bro…swim to me!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@RGB06084]

Another great one Adam!

[@tokay999]

What kind of kayak do you have ?

[@azevedoplumbing]

BRO!!! INTENSE !!!!!!!

[@fishiganstate3880]

What kind of knife is that? It kinda looks like a Mora

[@shawnfarrell9772]

Went from a pro to an amateur in 2.2 happens to us all, LoL. At least you landed it thank god.....

[@OutdoorChefLife]

Aaaahhh you’re giving me FOMO!!

[@toddramsay977]

NO! I bet they are just like fresh water largemouth bass. I bet you need to parallel the grass beds not cast to them and pull away on each cast. Try it, let all of us know. Great video!

[@kevinbivens5262]

There are other Bass here also,those are just examples.

[@johnle6913]

What rod and reel are you using? Can I ask for the specs?

[@nickfish629]

Nice Catch kid!!

[@williambenner5550]

So I am curious why you never use squid, either live or dead.

[@KenshiroRyuFishingDojo]

Probably because dogfish and sea robins and skate love them. Thats what i always catch mostly if i use fresh squid

[@adrianfuentes9418]

He uses squid on the regular

[@colorspacmangalvez5990]

Nice

[@ltlieu61]

Wow , you really were scared that you wouldnt show your fish to the camera?! come on, F those guys, dont do that again ocean doesnt belong to them.

[@slightsight5257]

Where do you go out at? General area? And man have you ever had any bad incidents go down in your kayak?

[@georgeescaped6035]

watch his last video

[@jesparza602]

He got clipped by a boat once too.

[@ogoe_joeoutdoors1088]

Rolled his yak on return...yep, he's had almost every experience a yaker can have...almost

[@KenshiroRyuFishingDojo]

Yo bro imma commerical fishermen , you caught that White Seabass in my waters, ive been there for days bro. return my Giant White Seabass or F word :D

[@Mr66Yellow]

I am also a commercial fisherman from Orange County. Quit sharing "MY" fishing hole.

[@Superchomama]

I don't fish, but I'm a professional KZbin viewer. Those waters looks like what I see on my Google Map. Get the F out of MY waters before you catch all the White Sea Bass in the ocean.

[@bossdillman7011]

Worked on executive charters we never messed with crazy dudes like Adam. He may look easygoing, but if he's anything like my Japanese buds Watch out.

[@Mr66Yellow]

Too bad Taku wasn't around. He's enjoying eating sweet prawns in Alaska.

[@KenshiroRyuFishingDojo]

@@bossdillman7011 low key missing persons at sea dont.know who hit them.

[@eddielikesfishing]

Nice relaxing day fishing without a couple of jack wagons lousing it up. Nice fish, I'm happy for you. Tight lines!

[@STEELHEADQUINN]

Monetizing a Public Resource that is very fragile....the American Way i guess...like the 400 "fly fishermen" i counted on a 1 mile stretch of the Madison River in Montana and the insane 2 1/2 hour wait to launch your drift boat or the 300 drift boats on the Upper Platte River near Saratoga Wyoming or the 200 plus "fly fishermen" camped out each day on the Miracle Mile again on the Platte River....it gives one pause and makes me wonder How much more abuse can our Natural Resources take?? Make that Money bro....till our Rivers dry up via current 10 year drought and the Forests burn down....My point? Stay humble stay stealthy like your Father or Grandpa did and dont brag or monetize a local spot. Turn this thang OFF for the sake of locals and our honey hole spot.

[@threengcircus]

Adam practicing his hookset for the Bassmaster tour. 😂

[@azevedoplumbing]

BTW! Your in my spot so move along youtuber

[@KenshiroRyuFishingDojo]

Nick fish made Karens kids famous lol its going to be a new meme for fishermen everywhere.

[@MrChalac]

Goddamn that fight was stressful hahaha

[@michaelcervantes9031]

Hang a large bleeding fish off the side of the kayak. What could go wrong? I hope you never end up on the food chain. Love your vids though.

[@lowhangingnuts1660]

What’s your thought on meeting up with subscribers out on the water? I’d love to just be out there with you guys every now and then. All you’d have to do is extend an invitation and I’ve got all my stuff. I seem to have pretty good luck since the past two times I’ve been out I caught a 35in WSB and a 32lb king salmon.

[@DwightPerkins-i7t]

Never underestimate the chaos factor when dealing with strong fish

[@my_no_1_americanbulldog580]

But you don't realise the product is crap, after a few days of use your find out. 🐖🎣

[@erikmeister6476]

Dude you need to calm down. The way you were acting is exactly how people lose their fish. I felt like I was watching a little kid that hook up for the first time a didn't know how to act.

[@diggity2966]

Adam, I've never yak fished in the ocean before but I happen too notice you're eyeballin my spot! This injustice will not stand Man!!! The Dude does not abide dude!!! 🤪😂🐟

[@G-Force_70]

Bud I enjoy your vids but am curious why you don't carry a net?

[@alfredorivera210]

Good job bro! Show them white kids they don’t own the ocean 😂😂👍

[@grandpa_of_2206]

You remind me of the guy that just knows he's going to catch a fish. Good job.

[@NorCalFishermen]

yup mondo optics arnt to shabby! been rockin mine for last 6months!

[@canklemedkits3772]

Do you put it back in the water to stay cold?

[@GSRich78]

Nice catch!

[@ronsrox]

Hyperventilate much?

[@cazadoresnorteamericanos]

Amazing fishing. Congratulations 🍾

[@diegotobar6839]

I think that reel needs a bit of lube 😅

[@andrewvillanueva4222]

Awesome job bro casting all that time and getting rewarded. What kind of rod you using it looks bad ass alot of backbone.

[@SuperPhester]

Yes Adam is fishing! Life is good!

[@williamchandler2494]

Good job Adam

[@jimcrackorn]

Thats my spot thats my spot...i'm gonna get all my caterpillar mustache gang.

[@tushetukala]

What r u tossing out there?

[@nathansaelee3604]

Flex da shi in front of those two boys from da last episode

[@motorcyleadventuringwithmi2778]

and I thought I was the only one to talk to the fish...:)

[@rickpetersen41]

Looks like your north of fuzz lip! Nice!!!!

[@gwahidi5004]

Where are fishing?

[@benruthlessburger8905]

You forgot to blur the background lol

[@ronbielma2086]

Had me hanging on to my seat with that bass..🐟🐠✌😁✌🌈

[@terryhowie3099]

Bonk'em and Bleed'em Adam!

[@larryhawes8295]

at :15 you said a word but it was garbled. Sponsored by Catchgo? But the video is sponsored by Karl's Bait and Tackle? Love your content but I think it might seem we understand what you are saying but it sometimes is not easy. Confusing a bit but again love your content.

[@joshsircy7695]

Dang I got anxiety waiting for that gaff lol

[@charlescoult]

👏👏 great job Adam! What a fight!

[@CATCHFISHORDIETRYIN]

Nice one 👍, Great job.

[@leepechin2764]

Adam, I don't want to burst your bubble, but the white sea bass is far from lazy, they're actually a highly predatorial fish. They are, however, instictually intelligent and somewhat elusive making them a bit more difficult to catch.

[@jameskim62]

NICE CATCH !!!!!!!! Weight ???

[@shotgunaaron]

Sweet! Good for you 👍

[@enzo6804]

i’m at a crossroads for what would be the best bang for my buck cream of the crop kayak out there. i see you have the old town sportsman autopilot 120, is that your favorite? have you had problems with it?

[@juanr.1779]

Nice fight good catch now you can make Chilean sea bass great stuff or make it your style good eating fish 🐠🐟🐠🐟

[@joefishstone8132]

Those look fun to catch wow😂

[@kratos8873]

You really need to do something about your audio! So many of your vids have audio issues, one moment it's clear next it's muffled

[@WalkingTaco]

From a freshwater fisherman that has no clue about the salt: why not use a net instead of a gaff? Easier to bag the fish, check for regulation size, release if need be. No axe to grind just honestly wondering why gamble with the gaff.

[@reapergrim76]

Awesome! 😀

[@TyinAlaska]

Your title is incorrect in my opinion. Most prestigious fish goes to the delta sturgeon.

[@anthonycorkill3705]

That was awesome 👍🎣

[@kauaimurph]

Nice. Good size. I hope to get on the water next week. Did you see your commercial fishing buddies? : )

[@junchung8364]

You basically caught every fish. Next stop: tuna on kayak

[@outdoorfreedom9778]

That was pretty exciting! Thank you, Adam! Now, get off my ocean!

[@barefootterry3785]

Nice fish!

[@dustygable5006]

If you don't get excited about any hook set.....then why you fishin for......

[@Marcssj3]

@7:24 What is the point of pulling out line like that? I see you doing a lot in your videos but today I just had to ask.

[@Jake-ky9ed]

They look so much like our speckled trout in shape and all course alot bigger - cheers man, good fishing.

[@francisgarcia375]

Good one 👍 nice job. Which fish is flacky perch, seamanship, rock or lingkod?

[@charging99]

Awesome catch, can you do a video on your kayak motor and setup with battery, thanks

[@herbiesnerd]

No worries about seals or sharks while dragging your catch in the water?

[@jonathando5230]

The way you hold your rod under your right arm is triggering

[@joshholt1513]

Did you see the 78lbs sea bass weighed in at bodega tackle the other day?

[@jesusmagallanes5345]

I would be so happy if someone hooks Nick lol

[@aromracsonethongkham4150]

You chase seabass like I chase walleyes in the spring

[@RGB06084]

This spot officially qualifies as your bass honey hole

[@johncole5297]

you never drool that swimsuit near the kelp?

[@Stoops1973]

Love the videos Adam. Keep up the great work.

[@kevinbivens5262]

I'm in Missouri, here we have several types of Bass.White,Striped,Spotted,Small Mouth and Large Mouth [ Black Bass ]. I was wondering if that is the actual name of the Bass you caught, or a generic name when you say Sea Bass? Great catch by the way!

[@leepechin2764]

They are white sea bass, one of the few saltwater only bass, another is the calico

[@andrewhooper355]

Adam, you’re ready to start getting us some underwater footage. Love your videos.

[@shizloner]

I can't for you to hook into 60 to 80lber.

[@tyronemcgriddles4802]

Watch for those Karen son’s.Lol

[@josephsaeteurn9158]

i didn't know there are kelps in the bay area?

[@danellabarnes-penman1118]

Ads wife has their baby: “That’s a sea bass! That’s a sea bass! That’s a sea bass! Okay! It’s in the boat!”

[@jimbo4612]

Trust the drag on your Lexa reel. It comes with the UTD (Ultimate tournament Carbon drag system).

[@jimbo4612]

big hammer obviously work however consider using a big Mackerel swim bait like the Storm Wildeye live mackerel. Storm's mack is 6 and 1/2 inches, weighs 2.3 oz and comes with a 3X 7/0 hook. These work really well for the exact reason you mentioned, easy large target.
