We Damaged our 78' Yacht ONLY to Catch the WRONG FISH!

[@OnboardTangaroa]

Thank you for watching and supporting our channel. We appreciate it. Don't forget to check out our refit channel Onboard Tangaroa The Never Ending Sea Trial ... but only if you like videos about huge boat work projects.

[@firashusseini9263]

Great catch! Enjoy the fish and lovely weather. Are there any plans to paint the boat from outside in the near future?

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

Watch todays technical boat history episode. The answers pretty sure to be a no way😂 ... the original nearly turned the boat and them into a wreck. 😬

[@OnboardTangaroa]

We will not be painting her. Actually, if you check out our refit channel...Onboard Tangaroa the Never Ending Sea Trial, we just released a video about taking all the paint off of her. Cheers. Janis

The Pacific Biological Station in Nanaimo developed a way to hatch Sablefish eggs and rear them through the larval and juvenile stages in the 1990's, early 2000's. It took several years because the eggs just float in the deep dark parts of the ocean. When they are put in a tank, if they bump into the sides, the eggs die. Once the eggs are lost, they had to wait until the next spawning season. Eventually, a tank design was proven to work. The eggs are initially raised in a cone shaped tank where the salt water is maintained in the 4 to 6° C temp and 'swirled' to keep the eggs in the centre and away from the sides. All this in a dark room with no light and low light flashlights used by the technicians to check on the tanks, feeding etc. Once they reach juvenile stage, they can be transferred to larger more normal tanks but with the same water temps and reduced lighting, not blackout, but with tank covers. There are 2 to 3 commercial farms in BC. The size of fish you caught appears to be in the 4 to 5 pound range. They would be worth from $75 to $85 each as farm raised at the fresh seafood market. Way more if wild caught.

Thank you so much for your detailed explanation of how sablefish are grown. They sure are yummy and I think our favorite fish to eat. Thanks for watching. Cheers Janis

[@rogerreed905]

Yes . Inventovness with names is important . . . We have . . North Island .and South Island and West Island . . Some call that one Australia . . Those prawns looked awesome . What catch . Take care team . Bye from NZ💐👍👋🇳🇿🍻twa

[@OnboardTangaroa]

Lol, I had a good laugh with the West Island comment 😂. Take care Roger!

[@Graveltrucking]

Yeah usually black cod is trapped. Interesting about halibut never knew it was a normal fish. It was probably time for a TV upgrade anyhow 😂

[@OnboardTangaroa]

Well Black Cod/Sablefish is amazing!! As for televisions...yep it was already cracked a bit, so this and Black Friday was the perfect excuse to get a new Samsung ..maybe a bit bigger also. 😉 janis

[@hillaryc.3727]

We always have great luck crabbing using a frozen Turkey leg as bait. It’s slow to thaw and you can re-use it over and over.

[@OnboardTangaroa]

We usually use chicken but we will have to try turkey in the future. Thanks!

[@markparadis8029]

No napper tho for bc coast love the shrip haul tho

[@OnboardTangaroa]

Wasn't that crazy! We have never seen anything like it. Thanks for the comment. Janis

[@frankyrx8459]

😂😂😂,funny!!! I like to use a fork!! Don't like to deal with mess fingers!! You're awesome guys

[@OnboardTangaroa]

Really? I have never seen anyone eat a chicken wing with a fork. I would like to see that. 😉

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

A freezer full of 🦐 and some excellent fish 🐟 . Purrfic .😋

[@OnboardTangaroa]

It was awesome. We did let Capt Paul and Anj take all the prawns home but we got the fish so win win for us. Plus prawning opens tomorrow.

[@markparadis8029]

It all delends if the wing is wet or dry for one jand fingers ,2 hand technique

[@OnboardTangaroa]

Ohhh. Interesting. So 2 handed if wet and 1 handed if dry or vice versa? Janis

[@goomgoom5504]

I know you’re in the middle of a construction zone but the mess would drive me bananas!

[@OnboardTangaroa]

Oh, believe me, It drives us nuts as well! Blaine

[@jimcalver-oj4xf]

One hander chicken wing muncher, I am. Good prawn haul, wow!

[@OnboardTangaroa]

Janis says you go through less napkins that way. I am dubious though. The prawns were amazing. It was the best catch we have ever had.

[@Ericsson_Construction]

Sablefish - delicious!!

[@OnboardTangaroa]

You got it!! So amazing. Best fish ever.

[@heatherbella]

I guessed Tuna at the start. Shows how little I know my fish. Sounds delicious though!

[@OnboardTangaroa]

That's OK....I'm learning myself. When we sailed from NZ to Hawaii we caught tuna at 10 knots..they like to chase things.

[@markparadis8029]

Soo cod sream mushrooms corn soup for next bit?

[@markparadis8029]

Cod BBQ sushi ?

[@OnboardTangaroa]

Ooooh that sushi bit sounds excellent! Blaine

[@patrickloring6914]

Too much fun!

[@OnboardTangaroa]

It was a good time! Rolling and all.

[@lmb5826]

YOu need stabilzers on that ship.

[@OnboardTangaroa]

We do have them...just not quite finished yet. It's been tough to find parts for them. Without them it is a bit rolly. Thanks for watching. Janis

[@jmsask]

Did you have any issues with the wind yesterday?

[@OnboardTangaroa]

It was windy and woke us up... one waterspout came through and knocked us over 25 degrees but nothing fell in or off the boat so all good.

[@cornnutzgazpacho-libre3555]

See, you were right all along, it was cod. Just a differant type of cod

[@OnboardTangaroa]

Yeah..I did not know the Black Cod was Sablefish. I learned so much about fishing in this video. Cheers Janis

[@robdeaton9910]

I don't think that halibut was of legal size. The flounder was nice, those cod as you call them, don't look like the Pacific cod I caught up at Kodiak AK commercial fishing.😊

[@OnboardTangaroa]

Capt Paul is a fishing guide and he said it was legal so I think it was. I think they call it a chicken here. This is what google says for where we were fishing. "In British Columbia, the maximum length for halibut that can be kept is 126 cm head-on, or 97 cm head-off. The possession limit is either: One halibut that measures 85 cm to 126 cm in length (65 cm to 97 cm head-off) Two halibut, each measuring under 85 cm in length (65 cm head-off) "

[@robdeaton9910]

@OnboardTangaroa oh enough with the metric system give us inches please. When I fished halibut off Barkley sound I think the regulations stated the minimum size was 24 to 30 inches. Yes any small halibut is referred to as a chicken. Unlike tuna which are chicken of the sea.

[@OnboardTangaroa]

From what we can find you can keep one halibut if its between 33" and 50" or 2 halibut if they are below 33" . There is no minimum size.

[@robdeaton9910]

@OnboardTangaroa well that's why I always check the fishing regulations wherever I am fishing, besides the gov is always changing regulations. Thanks for the info 😊.

[@OnboardTangaroa]

No problem at all! They definitely seem to change a bit.

[@jandenapoli4477]

That isn’t a halibut. It is an arrowtooth flounder. Often mistaken for a halibut until you look at the mouth. The teeth and pointy mouth are the giveaways. The meat is rather soft.

[@OnboardTangaroa]

Definitely hard to tell the difference at a glance. Even looking it up on the internet I only feel more confused as it doesn't look anything like an arrowhead flounder in some of the pictures. It also didn't seem to have large scales so it stumped me.

[@coolhand6669]

Hey guys nice video I didn't have to go 28 miles offshore to get halibut in Alaska or British Columbia it's close you just need water for halibut starting around 100 ft now there's some places in Southeastern Alaska where the Halibut come close to shore like was in 60 ft of water and I've caught halibut up to 100 lb literally at 60 ft of water that's near Juneau Alaska now stable black cod they're usually I'm about 60 ft to about $160 f t of water but usually in the 60 ft range. Now I'll tell you what I found works really really good 4/0 hook will 6 to 8 oz lead head it's a molded hook and and head and you want to get the ones that have the really heavy duty hooks on them they're almost undamageable really tough stuff. Berkeley saltwater gulp power baits and they work really good the trick with them is to drop them right down to the bottom two cranks off the bottom and then pop them up and down in the water stream off the bottom and they've always work good for rockfish for Sable even halibut I've caught lots of halibut with them. Now in Alaska and in Northern British Columbia best way for halibut is you want to use about it 60 lb to 100 lb leader and crimp system I normally use it 12/0 circle hook or bigger but 12 is what I start at and it run about 14 inches to a spreader bar and then basically you connect your spreader bar with a swivel to your pool on bottom side is spreader bar I normally put about 8 oz of lead or more depending on how deep it is. Now the most important thing f your bait bigger is better so if you can get salmon bodies ahead and the skins from people that have filet the meat off of and left your head and the skin attached what I would do to get some salt and salt these things down really good for a day put them in a cooler and a ziplock bag with ice let him just sit cold in this salt but it does is I forgot 24 hours or more it turns that salmon into really tough leather and it looks harder for that fish to take it and that's good for all baits like herring if you do that it's also toughens up the herring for fishing basically with that hook to get through the head so it's really in there good so it's just a Barb sticking out just a little bit and send it down to the bottom and let it stay on the bottom you want to crank just enough so you can you have tension so it keeps the spreader bar and the LED on the bottom we're keep saying where you can feel it kind of bouncing off the bottom that works the best I've caught a lot of halibut that way I hope it works for you

[@OnboardTangaroa]

Thanks for all of the tips! Im not sure when we will get a chance to go out fishing again. Hopefully not too long. Will have lots of opportunity next summer!

[@markparadis8029]

Snapper

[@OnboardTangaroa]

Close but even better. Deep sea fish. Sablefish aka Black Cod. So so good. Thanks for watching. Janis

[@DaDuddaMan64]

That's why they call it sea trials

[@OnboardTangaroa]

This was def a "sea trial" and we do not have the interior ready.

[@DaDuddaMan64]

@OnboardTangaroa I was coming out of great egg inlet near Atlantic City, a nice breaker picked me up and when I came off the top I went bow first into the next one. There wasn't anything that was not on the deck. Stuff came out of places I forgot I even had.

[@OnboardTangaroa]

Lol, that will definitely happen! Blaine

[@DaDuddaMan64]

Pollack

[@OnboardTangaroa]

Good guess. It does look like a Pollock.

[@jmsask]

🍻

[@OnboardTangaroa]

Cheers Joe!

[@MsJon52]

that was a fun vid, well for us watching mostly, I think you suffered for your art, can I ask you do your stabilizers work and if not I wonder what the difference would be when they are, on the question of being one or two hands its got to be two if I try with one my limp wristed weak self has to change very quickly to the other hand, lol sorry could not resist. I really do not understand our species, you all get a gag reflex with the hag fish covered in slime but you get to the pub and have your chicken wings covered in the stuff and you put it into your mouth, GROSS lol

[@OnboardTangaroa]

Yes we have stabilizers and we have done the repairs to them that needed to be done out of the water. There are some things that have yet to be done to get them working. As for.using them. .we aren't sure yet. I have done ocean passages on oats with and without. I find without is easier on the body as your body gets used to the roll of the boat and goes with it. With them..it's a jarring stop during the roll. Kinda like putting on the brakes to hard in the car when your body is already in motion and going with it. When we get them up and running...we'll see how they work. As they have never worked on Tangaroa we don't know yet what rhe motion will be. We'll keep you posted on our refit channel Onboard Tangaroa The Never Ending Sea Trial. As for chicken wings ... yeah no gag reflex but I think it's the smell of the hag fish that got me. I also gag at someone vomiting but no issue with blood. Thanks for the comment. Cheers. Janis

[@bradhopps111]

Congratulations on living the dream! Not trying to burst your bubble here but that was not a halibut. It was an Arrowtooth flounder which are disgusting table fare. I have no problem with figuring it out as you go but, your videos present as instructional and you misidentify or otherwise mis-inform your viewers in nearly every episode. You would be better off just stating that you dont know anything about fish or fishing and very little about boating in general. Instead ask the audience for help or do some research. Department of Oceans has fish ID resources available. Part of responsible fishing is understanding the rules which includes being able to id what you've caught. Please stop trying to teach the viewers about things you know very little about. Be safe out there!

[@OnboardTangaroa]

Not sure what to think about this comment. It comes across as wanting to be helpful but then there is the not-so-disguised insults. We never claimed to be experts on fishing. As a matter of fact we clearly state we do not know much about it. Quite the opposite of you interesting accusation. As for knowing very little about boating in general, that is just hilarious. Not even going to lower myself to respond to that as you obviously have no idea of the experience we do have in that category. If you have an issue with how we make our videos feel free to not watch them. Be safe out there!
