People really give you a hard time about it watching the video weeks/months later? Here in Oregon we have salmon/steelhead regulations that require a PHD in Law just to understand, and I don't often see people whining about closed seasons (our quota-based system can open/close multiple times within a "season"). Kinda interesting, honestly. Do you have a physical address we can send things to? I want to send you a couple of better descenders we use here often. A shallow-er water one, and a deep water one. Because it's Christmas and there's a better mouse trap to be had.

The re-education i have learned from your fantastic videos have given me a new thirst for fishing, The workshops on rig making and boats fishing sessions have re-kindled my desire to get back out fishing and i wanted to thank you for all you do and the lessons you so happily pass on. Thank you. And please keep doing what you do its amazing. Mick

Way back then there weren't any size limits for sea fish or closed seasons. Hope that you got to collect James on time. That fish will taste lovely, I'm jealous.

Its migrating Atlantic cod, not to be confused for coastal cod as they are totally different populations.(DNA and appearance differentiate quite a bit) Skrei has a maximum weight around 50KG, more commonly 10-20KG, anything above 30KG is fairly rare. Costal cod maxes out at about 15KG, rare above 10KG. Season is February. to April, location: Lofoten, Northern Norway.

For deep sea fish that doesn’t often work on its own.

Nice to see someone catching something other than Ting & dogs. Fished my favourite super secret local mark from low to an hour after high last night, had a record (for me) 33 whiting & 10 dogfish. Got so tired of leaving the warm van to reel in ting ended up putting on some huge 8/0 pennel baits out of nearly whole cuttlefish or 3-8 baby squid lashed together. Did you know you can catch a whiting and a dogfish on one 8/0 hook?
