Dude I’ve been following you since I was a teenager. I’m 26 now don’t feel old 😂 but I really appreciate the work you put in for these trips and videos 🙏🏼

[@q1006662]

Been out with Bon Chovy before and Jason is great! Thanks for the video :D

[@FishingwithRod]

He sure is! Thanks for watching!

[@Aldenpnw]

I remember couple years ago when there was many bigger Lings on those humps, never seen many boats out there till recently and only a caught couple big ones this year :/

[@DFNW]

Thanks Rod Always good stuff. She needs to see a true Green Ling.

[@FishingwithRod]

She will in about three weeks from now. 😉

[@petrhermanadventures9509]

Nicely crafted video. I always appreciate your editing skills. I got tired of editing sometime last fall and pretty much stopped posting videos, just getting back into it a bit with some shorts.

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks Petr. I love it, it's story telling and I can sit at the screen for hours putting it together. My style is constantly evolving (not necessarily improving) and I am always changing it up. Sometimes I lose inspiration like you described and stop putting something out for at least a month until I feel like I can put together quality content again. It's the beauty of KZbin, you work at your own pace to grow, not really a competition with others.

Great lingcod bonk Linda!

[@darrylmcleman6456]

Good stuff! I caught a 58lb lingcod off Race Rocks in Race Passage in 1972.That is a marine preserve area now.The 58 was too big and not good eating.CHEERS from Here!

[@westrootsindustries9916]

Wow look at the action those rods have what are they ? They bend over like noodles I love it

[@FishingwithRod]

Those are Shimano Technium. If you go to this video, there is a segment on these rods. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYKvn4iJlNB_jrc

[@matthewspeller]

I've never thought to troll for Lings, that's pretty neat

[@FishingwithRod]

Out of all the methods, I'd say it's probably the most efficient way to catch them.

[@davebeningfield]

Nicely edited, Rod.

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks Dave. The videographer for the day made it easier. 😄

[@killerp00dle]

Caught a great ling this year trolling Rapala Magnum 40's off a kayak. Adding trolling tp lings to my repertoire

[@FishStalker777]

Shhhh!!!

[@pixelfishflintyt8537]

why do you use centre pins for ocean fishing? i thought they were only good for float fishing in rivers

[@windaanthonypyro]

Pretty neat trolling with downriggers for lingcod. I would be scared to lose the downrigger on the reefs.

[@FishingwithRod]

Yeah you definitely gotta be careful. Jason was constantly watching the sounder and working on the downriggers to keep the gear away from the reefs.

[@Goats22]

Nice lings, Rod! I really like Linda. she is clearly a real fisher and knows what she is doing.

[@FishingwithRod]

That's good, because you're going to see her pretty frequently throughout this year. The third episode with her will be out in two weeks from now. :)

[@longway4442]

Great episode guy's. Yo Rod do y'all have catfish in any of your local waters?

[@FishingwithRod]

The only catfish species found in BC is brown bullhead (Ameiurus nebulosus), which are in fact invasive in this region.

[@fishduckdog]

Thanks for sharing!

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks for watching!

[@slacktide_angler]

That's pretty cool. 6-10oz swimbaits off downrigger? Really curious how close you graze the pinnacles without worrying about hangups.

[@FishingwithRod]

As close as possible, that’s why Jason was constantly adjusting the depths on those down riggers so he wouldn’t hang up.

[@ChipDarby13]

If I was on that ferry and saw you holding that lingcod, I’d be jumping overboard and swimming over.

[@FishingwithRod]

That seems a little aggressive from my POV in the other boat but ok we’ll pick you up I guess. 😜

[@ChipDarby13]

@@FishingwithRodWho said you’d even see me? I’d be stealthy like a navy seal. Anything to get that lingcod😂

[@fsupoutdoors]

Those people on the ferry probably realized they were on the wrong boat!

[@FishingwithRod]

🤣

[@joesutherland225]

Get them regularly trolling for salmon in Georgia straight whe within 40 ft of bottom

[@georgegonzalez4505]

Love the fishing. Do you still fish with your wife? It's been a while I do t see her fishing with you.

[@FishingwithRod]

Yep, just not in videos.

[@gregoryfuzi4745]

That's the number 2 Sea wolf. Toothy!

[@smmj45]

Soon as she started talking , I miss kitty 😢

[@FishingwithRod]

She’s got her own channel, follow her there so you don’t have to miss her.

[@haltcook]

nah no lings round gulf islands go somewhere else :P jk great video as usual rod.

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks! ;)

[@gregoryfuzi4745]

I'm second too . Thanks rod.

[@fishingfool2644]

Trolling for lings with downriggers sounds expensive when you lose a downrigger weight.

[@FishingwithRod]

It sure can get expensive, that's why Jason was constantly working on the downriggers while watching the sounder.

[@joesutherland225]

Okeover? Must be a powell river woman! Oysters anyone lol in pr myself lol

[@FishingwithRod]

It has been her family vacation spot. 🙂

[@westrootsindustries9916]

Local Powell River guy here, gotta say the okeover comment got my radar blipping hahah

[@FishingwithRod]

Maybe there needs to be an Okeover episode…

[@gregoryfuzi4745]
