Just happened to run into this young man at a Charity Softball Tournament in Sunnyvale. He has skills on the ball field too. Continued success 👍🏼

Adam, you are a grinder. Thanks for all the good videos and sticking it out when the conditions are not pleasant.

Nice work man, was fun watching this series, was hoping you’d do it, cheers!

NICE!!! Officially the California halibut king!

Hell yea! I have been watching your progress with the challenge all year. You are the first person I have ever heard of catching a halibut in every month. It makes me feel good to know it has been done! It gives me confidence haha

It was a fun challenge for sure! No excuses for not catching them now!

Congrats!!! Way to go.

Dope congratulations and Edward wishes he did that 😂🍻

Congratulations 🎉🎊🌞!

Tough fishing with a nice result! Great job on the halibut - covering all 12 months!

You did it! Congrats

Manimal, great lesson in perseverance. I appreciate the inspiration. Some mornings getting up in the dark and going to the boat ramp to walk into the cold water is hard. You and Mikey on Sd Fish and sips, greatly inspire me to press through. Thank you. Tight lines to you. Well done.

Great job, yes do it again next year. That’s some dedication right there man.

Another great video! Thanks Adam! Have you ever thought about putting together a short video with all of your outtakes, gear overboard, dicey landings, etc?

All right this just made my night!

The water is turning, awesome and you hooked it.

Well done Adam. It's such a buzz to achieve your targets. I had a target to catch a bass every month of the year and to catch 100 for the year. The 12 month challenge wasn't so much of a problem but I only managed bass 100 in the early hours of the 31st. Happy fishing all the best from Anglesey North Wales, UK

Good job bro, congrats

He's done it. Not sure any of us were in any doubt though...Hats off, PRO.

Congrats Adam! That's really impressive! Not because it's so "hard," but just the amount of time you have to put on the water. November proved that you really are Die Hard!

Sea Snot, it what we call it on east coast.

Saw you leaving Alameda the other day. Really wanted to ask if you'd gotten your December halibut yet. Congrats!

Sheesh! No wasted meat on that gaff shot.

you need to make a halibut calendar with pics of each month's catch

Thats a good idea!

How about a video on your set ups and behind the scenes. Like what set up you use for salmon, which bait to use for which species, what depth, what does a bait ball look like on your fish finder? What are the locations for kayak launches? Parking fees and locations? Love your videos! I'll be out there in April 2024.

Good job at fishing Hey my friend I would like some kyats fishing tips because I might start doing that this year

Nice grinding out that December flatty. That water looks real cold, what do you wear for in case god forbid you dump into that choppy water. I hear depending on the water temp, you'd pass out in less than an hour well before help arrives.

I wear a wetsuit when fishing the ocean. You couldn't see it in this video because I had sweatpants as well for added warmth. Normally the wetsuit is warm enough on its own

Hello brother, I'm new to kayak fishing and the channel. Can you tell us what kind of lure set you're using?

How's the rock fishing 🎣 this time of the year? Always loved to eat the red and blue rockfish

unfortunately shallow water rockfishing is currently closed so it is pretty much out of reach for kayak anglers.

nice. If you're bait fishing with large baits, you might want to actually try setting the hook. Tight lines

What area is this? I'm looking for a safe place to fish from my Hobie and I'm very new to the sport. I have fished Monterey from the Coast Guard Pier, but it gets too rough for me. TIA

What kayak and motor do you use ?

What's the best months to catch halibut off the surf?

Great video bro , nice to be in that moment out in the ocean , solo hooking up. Halibut is one of my favorite fish to catch , and eat. I hope you don't mind me saying this about kayaks , but when i was responding to an add to buy this red kayak , the guy selling the kayak mentioned never to buy a yellow one. A yellow colored anything happens to be sharks favorite color , according to Naval research studies . There is also a video on You Tube of a hammer head attacking him crazy. It just happened to be a yellow kayak. Hope this info helps , good luck out there.

Posting the same halibut videos over and over again 🤮
