Fried calimari is one of my favorites, I also LOVE grilled halibut. You must be eating like a king.

Yes I am!
me scoping out the background to get a sense of where to be when I go out there 😂 Glad the squid are still around.
Dang bro, save some for us 😂 I’ll catch that 40” for you

You better bring a gaff if you want the 40!
I like fishing by myself... the fish I catch and release are always HUGE!
Bro you are in Monterey bay. Love your videos of halibut fishing in the bay.
I would love a vid of you, Patrick Mahomes, and Kermit all in a catch-n-cook together haha.. just playing, and man I absolutely love your content. The Cali crew has gotten me thru Covid. Keep up the great work!

Deal!
when i was young we lived there (1958 -61) the Monterey airport was a naval base where my dad was stationed, he used to go out with his biddies and bring home a big sack of red snapper. all fish are good, good catch you had

Definitely not as many fish as there was back then but every once in a while you might get lucky!
nice slabs! jeeze those are nice hali. that would be a cool achievement to get 100 inches of halibut. i was sweating it out thinking it could be when the rod went down, nothing you can do when they pop off... great job on the solo mission!

JEEZ I haven’t watched the vid yet but that thing is huge
Outstanding ! So envious of Cali fish ! Salmon halibut king .... what a blast !
Another great video and even better catch. Love being able to catch bait for the catch.
Another great episode. You make it look easy.
You went Solo, Just for the hal------i-----but! WOW Adam, Great job!!!
Great work Adam!
The lift at the end was great! Way to slay em’ Adam!
Love that you’re back on the yak! The boat fishing is cool, but the kayak and surf is awesome stuff!
Killin it Adam!!! Great catch's dude!!!
I don't rest my sunglasses on my hat anymore for that same reason. I put them away under my kayak seat, or in my dry bag. A good outing made it up for you though! 👍
awesome job! now your shades are in the perfect spot looking for that forti!
Now that’s what I’m talking about! Awesome... congrats Adam 👍. Good looking fish.

Awesome catch! Love your videos!
Nice video and catch!!
Nice catch man!
These are my favorite videos of yours. Catch the bait then catch the fish.
Solid catch! I need more halibut in the diet!
Bro love the big halibut nice!!! Show us the camo side too. Thanks man.
Nice job Adam.
Well done🎣👍
This video gets an A+ from the B.B.B, really good ones.
When I lived in California, I never caught them that large, but I was fishing from shore.
Nice job!
Beautifully done, great job 👍

Nice Quality size halibut. Adam👍
Nice video a good fish. Yes sometimes you need to be by yourself to get some alone time focus on the zone. Good video and thank you.
Thank you again and again for your great videos, keep them coming bro ! What area of Cali are you fishing?
You a G for them grandes bruh
Saw the pic on Insta first... was like daaaammnn. Nice fish man! ✌️❤️🍻🖖
Nice day, Adam! You slayed them!
I've caught halibut up to 435 lbs here in Alaska. The tiny ones are fiddlers and the one you caught is a chicken. In order to keep then from flopping around we have a piece of 1/4" polypropylene rope through the gills and the other end around the tail and draw the rope until its in a circle. All they can do is quiver now.
Those were soooooo big!
that's many meals right there!
No one's got a more theatric hookset than Adam!
Surf fishing!!!!
No shame, you got a few good meals out of the two you did catch. And nice sized ones indeed. ✌️😎
I don't care who you are or where you are fishing as soon as you look away from the rod your gonna get a bite! Nice catch Adam I caught m 🤣 first west coast halibut in Pismo Bay back in the 80s fun fighting fish! Keep slaying em, enjoy watching your videos!
Great catches. I'm laughing now at my 15 1/2 inch Flounder I caught here in Florida on my channel. Still was a good dinner. Peace brother.
The reports coming in mention some absolute monster halibut off the Alameda rock wall area. Plus some bonus White seabass in the mix. However a #17 to 18lb and a 20lb halibut fill the freezer nicely , well done
Congrats bro. I been trying to get a halli from my kayak so many times this season. Got nothing so far. Trying to make a video of one when I do catch it

Keep at it bro!
Those were two of your best gaff jobs yesterday! Both fish were stoned as we say in spearfishing.
California Halibut vs Pacific Halibut. The Pacific have a much better diet and it shows in the quality of the fish. You got some nice ones!
Yeahhh buddy!
👏great explanation and respect towards the commercial 🦑 squid fleet. Awesome halibut catches, you got enough freezer space ? 😂
Spot burnerrrre of the year
good job
Awesome!
Hello nice fishing videos ! where is you prefered place for fishing Hulibut ?
Nice!! Those are some toady butts! Are you drifting or trolling Adam? Great job and awesome vid dude!
how are you keeping your squid alive? Towing a bait container? Or livewell?
Adam. Wow.. those are a couple very nice pair of halibut. Which general area are you fishing at?
How do you know where to fish? Particular depth and/or bottom type (sand)?
Are you by half moon bay area?? Good job!
True you can only use one rod but you can use multiple hooks. I had 2 double ups last summer on the same rig
I did that Saturday, same place. Lost squid jig, something stole my fish stringer, drop poll and reel, no halibut. Dang Adam. Were you drifting?

Nice halibut, I actually just caught a halibut on my channel like a week ago
Do you not use the downrigger anymore? I just bought my first kayak and picking it up tomorrow. I have to install a few things and I was thinking about getting a downrigger.
🔥🔥 Looked like a successful day to me! Dope video.
Your blue rod, which model are you using. Im wondering for length.
Way to kill it man😎🤙🏽
nice fish man! do you use a 8 foot rod or 8’ 6”
love when the kayak gets all slimed up! Is ypour preferred method the slow troll as opposed to jigging? how deep were you when you hooked up with those nice fish? Another great video of your hard work! Stay safe Adam.

Those boats are called purse seiners and the boat that lays the net is called a seine skiff
Epic catch Adam! How are you liking your autopilot.... I am considering the hobie PA14 or Auto 136... tough call, would appreciate your feedback considering your experience. Keep up the great work, love your videos.

btw I am a Nor-Cal fisherman so fish a lot in the delta, sac, san pablo, bodega etc.
Made it bro
how do you keep the squirt from shooting you with ink lol
You should work a deal with an internet store to sell gear and add links. I would be happy to buy any setup you recommend!
Practice Catch and Release of breeder fish!

Your not concerned a shark might grab the halibut as your towing along the side of your boat?
