Whole TURKEY as Bait to Catch DUNGENESS CRAB

[@DieHardFishing]

Nice work! I got my turkey but it got a little too rough for the kayak. Hopefully the crab don’t mind waiting a few days for turkey this year

[@ronaldcolejr4132]

Great video Chris.

[@ericmarshall7302]

My grandfather was a chicken farmer in Petaluma, he used to use a whole dead chicken in his crab pots in Tomales bay, it worked !

[@ChrisPfish2]

Hi Eric, thanks for sharing your story, i bet that would work very well. I appreciate you watching!

[@francisd8552]

You have to try the p-line laser minnows for lingcod. They catch a lot of fish.

[@Nik-gh6gz]

I have a couple for salmon. What size would you recomend?

[@francisd8552]

@@Nik-gh6gz I prefer the 4 oz ones

[@troywadsworth3639]

Awesome video Chris!

[@frobinson1981]

My goodness fish finders have come a long way

[@NickFish007]

That FF is insane lol I want one

[@bradamaral3062]

Chris one of your video's u show how u see the weather the swell & wind , this video was u & your partner where in the SF bay & outside the gate that's where u dropped your pots, So I'm asking u if u can tell me how u get that kind of info on weather is it a app or what . love to see what your seeing . Thanks for your great info on crab , rock fish. Thanks Brad

[@tuomasholo]

Happy thanksgiving and another great fishing video.

[@TrialanError]

Nice haul of crabs. Thank you!

[@familyfishkiller1062]

Another awesome video chris, those pots are poached.You should have had limits in those pots soaking overnight.Stay safe, stay healthy, and good luck and safe fishing Nice underwater View I see someone's cell phone underwater buy rock 7:34 min. Thanks for sharing my channel .Happy Thanksgiving

[@rosshernandez267]

Thanks Chris for sharing your videos with us. Just got home from a thanksgiving in San Fran and chilling with a cold brew. Truly thankful for your time and effort you put in to making some amazing videos. Happy Thanksgiving!!

[@flobrob707]

We left pots out over night in bodega the same weekend and they got poached.

[@litecoinbull5129]

Happy Thanksgiving Chris

[@chiemnguyen2968]

Nice catch! Just wonder can you pass your catch to other boat? You took some crabs from the other boat. That mean they were over there limit. I thought that is illegal to do. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃! Stay safe!

[@ChrisPfish2]

Gabe is a deck hand for a party boat and I asked him when he offered and he said it was legal. I know he can put them in a pot and give me written permission to pull his pot. I will ask DFG when I see them next. Thanks for watching

[@elsancho1375]

That fish finder looks awesome. If u catch a small rockfish send him backdown and wait for the ling to latch on and hitchhike. Don’t break the water surface and they won’t let go. Lots of big lings up in the sunken reef area and north

[@RB-pr4er]

👍

[@tblazy3463]

Nice crab for Thanksgiving! Funny about the whole 🦃 in the pot!🤣🤣

[@1richrodfishing]

Nice I always wondered if you could fish with turkey as bait 🔥💯🍁🦃👍🎣

[@reeceadams384]

Great video and happy thanksgiving

[@jamielew6479]

Love the underwater footage! Nice work

[@outdoorfreedom9778]

I'm not going to jump to conclusions but this year I'm seeing a lot of questionable pots being pulled. I have spoken with others and they all think there is a lot of poaching going on this season!!

[@reel-grit]

I had a two day soak and pull zero, but the bait was shredded. I rebaited, set them, checked them in within a half hour and had crabs...............It sucks when this happens.

[@jondoh3471]

My bad, I didn't know pulling random pots in the ocean was illegal.

[@davidyork751]

Somebody probably did take your crab, it's to bad that there are still people around that are willing to do that, you have a great character to not even get mad, it's all about good carma and you have plenty, keep up the awesome videos.

[@nunya9034]

A little zip tie on the door helps. If someone checked your pot it's broken. They will never replace it.

[@elsancho1375]

Dfg doesn’t want u to use zip ties in case the pot gets abandoned- they want u to use cotton twine so that it rots out and the crab can eventually escape.

[@DeadliestKastFishing]

Cool video man happy thanksgiving 🦃 and sick electronics brotha

[@saganblake-welsh7670]

I have had lots of success catching big lingcod using a three way swivel to two hooks, and a frozen squid, or live smelt, kingfish, or mackerel, and a 4-8 ounce weight depending on how fast the current is.

[@cgyotoku]

Hey Chris, I like to put a tie wrap on my main door before dropping the pot. That way you know whether your pot was raided or not when you bring it up.

[@tp2808]

Good idea, but isn't that illegal?

[@cgyotoku]

@@tp2808 I don't think so. I still have rotten cotton for the escape rings. The tie wrap is just for the main door, where the crab are removed from.

[@RB-pr4er]

Yep! Do it all the time different color zip ties. Does not stop them but at least u know of ur pot is leaking or robbed.

[@RB-pr4er]

Of course that’s after the r c

[@Will23841]

Good call!! Nice video, man!

[@fishinmissionii2992]

Great video need to get back out to bodega next year an fish new area’s

[@joesgotya9930]

That’s all turkey is good for 👍

[@soukkeoadventures2511]

Love the boat and the channel bro thinking about heading out to bodega also and do some snaring

[@Fishing247]

I am going to get turkey 🦃🦃 for crabbing😁. I enjoyed watching your video.

[@catherinewu1265]

Happy holiday! Enjoy!

[@tamalpias]

another awesome video chris, those pots are poached. happened a lot this year because it is a tough year. unlike last year we were averaging more than 20+ crabs per pot on the cheap danelson pots.

[@janicebabin2764]

Love the underwater footage love to see underwater footage in crabpot

[@SocietyTackle]

I've dont tge turkey thing but we cut it in half an put it in 2 pots worked great

[@kieuoanhngo8863]

Hello Chris, your boat name North river,so what city you live in and where you launch your boat?

[@ernie548]

Dude, there are so many fish and smaller invertebrates that come clean that off so quickly. I leave traps out, and personally don't think they are robbed so much. I try to use bait bags and things that make it harder for my bait to be eaten.

[@AhmedMahmoud-lg6em]

Happy thanksgiving chirs awesome day to start the day 👌🏼🎣 too bad they got you too it’s happening to everyone it seems like. Great video 👏🏼

[@aleemoua2916]

Glad you had a good day. Is it okay to zip tie your pots for overnight or long soaks? Poaching seems to be an issue for long soaks

[@tp2808]

I think it's illegal.

[@johnbolton9957]

Totally

[@renzokukenleonhart]

I'm pretty sure it's illegal. There's a reason why you're required to put on rotting lines.

[@renesolis708]

How deep were those pots set at

[@user-wr3vt8uq4s]

A great day out. The poaching is ridiculous. There's got to be a way to catch these jerks.

[@mylesvanwyk1160]

Good stuff nice vid

[@dogdadbabycrossfit5251]

Tha Man!!!

[@missbobbi666]

Where are you coming from

[@charlesdavis4396]

Oh and I will never leave them over night again..

[@tp2808]

Love your videos! What reel are you using?

[@Redneck557]

Happy Thanksgiving

[@isiahwest4075]

My pots were raided too

[@janicebabin2764]

We use chicken thighs all the time dirt cheap combining baits works well shmorgie

[@roguedog6799]

LOL, i like to cut up whole chickens and use it in several pots.

[@williamrogers7639]

put your underwater camera on a crab pot. if the camera is gone, then you know if someone jacked your stuff.. we have been having the same problem, don't know for sure if we are getting jacked or not, we have been leaving our pots out for 2 to 5 days, but in the whole grand scheme of things we are doing ok. not limiting out but ok

[@prokhk]

best not to show them giving you those crab in case DFG is watching

[@DriftmanX]

So if someone only caught 17 dungy in one day. It is illegal to be gifted 3more??? Where is it wrong?

[@prokhk]

@@DriftmanX The issue is more for whoever caught 3 over the limit and are giving them away.

[@michaelsadventures4261]

I don't know you, but I watched these ads in full.

[@ChrisPfish2]

I appreciate the support! Thanks for watching!

[@hmglor]

That under water footage so cool!!

[@TheFrogfeeder]

Duck has more greasiness to it, more fat

[@garrybaker6725]

from the camera, it looks like you are moving the bait too much. you keep pulling the lures away from the fish. just saying

[@ChrisPfish2]

Hi Gary, I agree, did you check out my latest video. I discuss that. Its a combo of jigging and the boat going up on a wave so lure is taken 5-10' feet from ground. Watching this footage, best is probably leave it on bottom for 5 sec then lift and have it drop in another new spot for a couple seconds. give them a chance. thanks for watching and leaving a comment

[@alexmel7316]

Chris thanks for still using the underwater camera!

[@charlesdavis4396]

Your pots got picked! My pots got picked many times, until they all got stolen!! Over a thousand lost. Fish and Game will not do shit unless you catch them, and that's a shady area also. Best way is to sink the fucker's!!

[@jamestownvirginia8463]

Hi Chris, I'm new. Happy Thanksgiving and I also am a die hard fan. I'm east coast but like to see what the other side is doing. Looking forward to it.

[@wesyoungquist393]

What a complete cluster of a fishing experience. So Wrong in so many ways. Total ignorance.

[@xy-xr1ze]

Oh gee....I only got 16 crab

[@namin10]

Thanks for teaching us how to use the Fish finder. I don't have a boat but whenever I watch your videso I get the opportunity to learn something new, and thats super coool! It Motivates me to buy my own boat someday! thanks Chris :)

[@keithpiazza]

pin a full squid on that swimbait, or a strip of mackerel, and you will for sure get those lingers.

[@jaychen9109]

Too much talking
