It was probably a submarine. Trident class Boomer. You’re lucky to be alive.

That bit like your PB halibut 💯 50” 😂…. I remember commenting about catching my largest halibut in the winter and that is true… Remember here in SoCal our waters get close to NorCal summer time temperatures so maybe that’s why 🤔 And I dropped a 7” live sardine over a rock pile and caught a 5” sand dab , how is that even possible????

Mermaid no doubt

I love your term critical. Kayak fishin Alaska is pretty damn important to know your weather. Thanks, man, for your efforts.

Those lil sanddabs are lingcod candy!

That’s the spot to jig or yo-yo… Helps get bigger bottom fish and if you drop bait, go double dropper loop just in case you get a quality rock fish 🍻

the windy app is a real game changer in making offshore fishing plans...I love it.

That was a grind! Cool to check out new spots though. Can’t wait to see you fish that area when it’s red hot!

Love seeing the grind man, even without catching anything we still like to see the videos. Thanks! Keep it up brotha 🤙

Good my Fishing friend Wonderful 😊

Electric reels, so funny. To poor for those things. Battery drill and forked metal doo hickey and I'm good to go. Love that area. Stay safe and tight lines youngen.

Good job Adam for putting in the time that’ll inspire me to keep grinding I’m guessing it was a big halibut 😊

The mystery continues 😮

I use the windy app for Lake Coeur d’Alene area fishing always. Great app!

fished most of my life in California, half right where you are in the vid basically. Now I live in New Zealand. fishing overall is better here, but the fish are quite different.

Pan fried San dab is the best. Lol

Tons of leopard sharks and bat rays in the slough you passed heading out. Unfortunately, I've heard they closed all that down now. I remember as a kid they did bow fishing tournaments in that slough.

Adam, how do you say jackpot? Lizard fish and sandabs are jackpot fish on party boats. Big Lings, like the ones you caught using eels.

I love sandabs smoked. Mmmm...

poached in butter is yummy

Why not use the sanddabs for lingcod bait?

High probability you hooked a bonito which have been holding in this area

There was bonitos running in that area a couple of weeks ago in that area. You could’ve targeted them. 😊

Beautiful day

those are large parasitic isopods. They in fact ARE just like giant ticks as far as the fish is concerned. imagine your dog having ticks the size of a rat.

Y'all ain't gotta use a deep water release rig in Cali?

@DieHardFishing State of Alaska has done extensive research on barotrauma. The release rigs work really well. Survival rate is a lot higher. Did you know that the physically traumatized fish takes more time than we think to heal. It's quite harmful to be drug up from the deep. The release rigs are super simple to use and cheap to buy. I keep 2 on board.

Halibut have a line with a hump towards the pectoral fin along their lateral line on the underside. I'll show it in my next halibut vid!

No no. They do not say, its not all about catching. It most certainly IS all about catching. But it wouldnt be called fishing if was just catching.

damm. i thought 1000 plus feet was super deep for a kayak fishing. ive been going all around between 40 ~ 800 feet waters with my inflatable intex k2 kayak with a trolling motor. i feel like a dangerous man
