Wow bro !! Thanks for the shout out ! I’m glad you tried the rig , it’s a deadly rig , once you dial everything down it will catch monster halibut out deep , I always put my hoochie 15” back from the dodger and I go 2.5 to 3 knots , great job you killed it on your first time using it

[@ChrisPfish2]

Of course! The rig sure worked well! Keep it up!

[@fv_hightide]

@@ChrisPfish2 we gotta fish it together!

[@ChrisPfish2]

@@fv_hightide would love too!

[@fv_hightide]

@@ChrisPfish2 let me know if you ever come down to the central coast , we get slabs !! 40” ers and bigger

[@carloadapimps6870]

those speeds are too hot for herring dodger 2.5kt + will make it spin, not the intended action.

[@williamrogers4556]

nice day of fishing, beautiful salmon

[@andrewvillanueva3722]

Awesome video!!! Wowww Chris you and kevin have some awesome boats.

[@miassaltlife7398]

Great job👍🏼Chris, as always love the videos

[@tho464]

Nice job as always, Chris! Keep it up!

[@mikeboston421]

ditto, thanks for sharing Chris,

[@Xpyburnt_ndz]

Another GR8 day on the water bud! Nice catch!!!

[@mrJohnny375]

Hey Chris P. I’m in the market for a new boat and have quite a few questions on different configurations. Thought it might be a good idea and view worthy to include a brief description of the boats that you fish out of and maybe a few things that the owners like/dislike about their layout. Great content brotha, tight lines!

[@robertevans00]

Love the Hali! Killed it 2 weeks ago in the sf bay, got a 38 1/2” 28 pounder.

[@Thansen2132]

Great stuff guys!

[@gregwallace4141]

Hey Chris love your videos, I fish the bay as well in my campion cuddy cabin. What app do you use to know when it's gonna be a calm day. I love the glass water fishing. Keep up the good fishing

[@kpnitrl38]

Great vid buddy.

[@rggatoman74]

I went out last weekend. Got limits of lingcod & 1 shy of limiting on halibut’s. I also caught a salmon. It’s was nice to see but I had to release the salmon. I bet you’re were excited to see it! 😂

[@ChrisPfish2]

yeah I was really excited to see the salmon! Nice job on the good catches!

[@petergajic4296]

Nice 2sea that you and high tide got Salmon so far and released can't do that with a gillnet

[@fv_hightide]

Was nice to see chrome !

[@aProudOG]

Will you now try this hoochie technique in trollable waters inside the bay? Maybe compare with trolling anchovies or herring? That one costly net job merits a “no comment.”😎

[@shotgunaaron]

nice work

[@kpnitrl38]

Yeah dude, mind your business, he's talking to his most faithful! 😂

[@ehumaui4087]

I caught 3 last week. Pb 36.5 was the largest.

[@GuerrillaGrassroots]

Sweet vid brother

[@marioibarra9833]

Yooo awesome haul.. wanna get a great dodger?? Dodger works great and an old man showed me when he first taught me how to fish. I gotta have 2 or 3 in my tackle box they work so great and hard to find. works for trout, salmon, and hali... luhr jensen stamped chrome. No stickers, it gives better detail.

[@windaanthonypyro]

Major spot burn 😂

[@ChrisPfish2]

yeah no one knows there are halibut in Monterey Bay. Shit!! lol so major bro

[@stevendoss1109]

How big was your dodger? We usually fish size 0 and double 0 dodgers with hoochies and squid or herring behind the hoochie. Wonderful video thanks.

[@ChrisPfish2]

like 5.5 & 8" Thanks for watching

[@mrevan00]

Curious as to how you and Kevin know each other. I grew up playing baseball with his son in the central valley

[@AhmedMahmoud-lg6em]

Delete footage haha jk great job buddy you guys killed it

[@ChrisPfish2]

lol thanks ahmed

[@JoshuaH831]

Cut line if needed?

[@rayrayfro4940]

Are you fishing anywhere by the Carmel and Monterey?

[@ChrisPfish2]

yes

[@grnheadhuntr1]

Hey Chris nice job! How deep of water were you fishing

[@ChrisPfish2]

between 45-65ft thanks for watching

[@robertd8224]

Nice🎣🐟 How fast were you trolling?

[@ChrisPfish2]

2-3mph

[@stevet8121]

It's a salmon. Turn the camera off!. Just kidding. Nice halibut you got there. 36" Yes!

[@ChrisPfish2]

lol

[@jaycarmichael435]

Took you a few hours to Go to Monterey, Good job though

[@ChrisPfish2]

yeah its a little of a drive. Much easier when you arent towing a boat though

[@tho464]

Tiny net

[@ChrisPfish2]

Dont worry I let Kevin know his net was too small!! That was for trout. Its one of the rubber ones, intended for the smaller ones but its a little small for borderline ones.

[@erikv4899]

You are incorrect. If you snag a halibut, rockfish, or lingcod in saltwater (bay, or ocean) you can keep it. Not sure of striper

[@erikv4899]

And fish on man! Bada** video!!

[@ChrisPfish2]

great to know, I always thought you couldnt keep a fish that was snagged, even on accident. Guess there are some exceptions. Thanks for watching

[@fv_hightide]

@@ChrisPfish2 I don’t care if the fish jumps in my boat I’m keeping it ! Lol
