The joy in your face when you landed that fish was such fun to see! Every fisherman knows that joy and it was a pleasure to watch you landing "The Big One". Congratulations.

I ordered two of these based on the reviews. kzread.infoUgkxqmKabisEv81ul5v7OhvVxxOpt2CJruI- Received them on time and they look good. I really like the handle on these knives as they feel good in my hand. I'm giving them 4 stars on look and feel, but have not had the chance to put them to the test yet. I mostly fish for catfish and can hopefully try them out in the next few days. If they hold an edge throughout a limit of catfish, they'll be worth another star.Update...I used the 9" strong and the 9" fillet on a mess of catfish. I did put a sharpening on these before I started. I want a razor edge to fillet fish but they weren't quite that sharp. The people who gave these knives crappy reviews and said they were sending them back was because they weren't razor sharp. So what, do they not have a knife sharpener?? Good grief! I mean you have to sharpen any knife from time to time.I personally like them and am pleased with them. If you're too lazy to sharpen a knife then hire someone to clean your fish lol.I've never bought a knife in my life that would shave hair right out of the box. Don't be afraid to purchase the knives. They're pretty nice in my opinion.

I was thinking the same thing Charles.lol Karen's kids show up and try to claim that spot I know without a dought Nick will see if they know how to swim. Hahaha

😂 nick saying “GET EM IN ADAM!” 🤣

Watching this 2 years later again and it was just as amazing! Nick is so the guy you want on your side, your joy is his joy!

At 14:47 I almost screamed at you when you thought your PB Ling was going to get away and you reached your hand out to grab his mouth! Thank God you have young reflexes and thought better of that most unwise move. Great fishing spot. Great Catch, Great ending!

Lindy Glove from Cabela's or a Pelagic glove. Saves finger tissue, keeps your hand warm , keeps a solid grip on the pole when wet, and you can even do tail grabs such as the ones show on the halibut

those lingcod have TEETH, man. Best strategy is just to keep your fingers away from the mouth

Epic story Adam! Nicely told too. Props to Nick for that second angle

This was probably the best fishing video I have seen, not just because of the fish but because of the story behind it. Awesome video, hats off to you.

That was great good catch like your videos a lot . everyone want that big one more out there too .happy new year.

Ur Bay Area fishing KZread community has some good KZreadrs. You are the best actual fisherman that isn’t using hundreds thousands of dollars of equipment like the regular joe. Seriously awesome man good job.

@@DieHardFishing which lami X-11 rod you use? Medium or medium heavy. Length?

Adam I was wondering if you could do a video about the basics of taking a kayak out in the ocean talking about basic safety, what kind of swell is too much, winds, and just some basics. Nice ling!

Awesome! I love hearing mystery fish stories.

Happy for you man! Great accomplishment. Great footage too. Nik had some footage there that would be really good for a Minkota commercial.

So I watched the whole thing, now I'm going to make some popcorn and watch it again 💪. Amazing! I agree with your idea on the hooks.

Outstanding Adam. What a great channel ! I watch from Long Island NY. Great too see west coast fish. Always a pleasure to watch pal

Talk about the Hot Spot to catch monsters🙌🏽 Awesome the Halibut catch and how the whole trip played out. Great Job Adam🤙

Oh my God!!! What a beauty!! What are the odds…glad you got to share the experience..with Nick.. Fish on…😃🤙🏽😃🤙🏽

I was excited just watching your excitement. Great video.

Good stuff! Very nice Ling!!

Crazy man! Great catch and awesome story.

Impressive ling I grew up in south Cali in the 70s and started at a young age fishing for rockfish and halibut, but I never saw a bigger ling than that caught during my fishing adventures,👍 awesome fish and keep posting your videos because I look forward to seeing what big fish you catch next!

those fish you caught were humongous, great fishing content! thank you so much!

Thanks for sharing 👍! I've got a good one that most would think 🤔 is a fish story. You caught yours on film! Nice!

Dude!!! Thats freaking awesome bro. Congrats Adam! Monster fish

Wow! What a video! What a story! What a spot! Great job, Adam. Best yet.

I think scenario one is most likely. BUT, the reason there were only hooks is because the smelt was in the ling’s stomach and got digested, and the hooks were left behind. Nice fish. Love your videos!

Insane 👀👀👀 good stuff Adam!!!

Crazy ,you've really set the bar now. Go Giants!

Yesssss! Your last video was awesome! What an epic trip. I’m super jealous, you’ve had some amazing sessions this year!

Awesome Mate!!! I've been watching from New Zealand, and love the fishing and fish. totally different from the way we fish and the species, but still bloody great.

Wow. Nice fish Adam!

Great fishing stories live forever! Well told

That’s a beast congrats man hard work always pays off that is a fish of a life time

Awesome catch! Landed a shovel nose guitar fish a few moths ago and it had a 2/0 j hook in its guts that I found wile cleaning it. Crazy finding hardware in fish

HUGE FISH MAN! GREAT VIDEO!

Congrats on the PB. Great video keep up the good work

great story and vid. congrats on that catch!

That story is crazy, that fish unreal

Dude...... that's a Ling !!!!! Great story as well Adam..... Some people have been struck by lightning twice, and you hooked the same fish...

That lingcod looked like a seal flapping around in the boat.

Great fish story, literally one for the book, AND video proof! External mics, and "dead cats" on the GoPro always help. Always quality content. Appreciate all your effort!

Wow Adam that was killer. What a great day. Insane catch. I think you are exactly right on the hooks in its mouth. That is a true fish story. Glad you took us along. I think I used to live in those apartments near Capitola or Rio del Mar. Anyhow thanks.

Adam you are a beast out there and most enjoyable to watch! Thank you 😊

Wow that's a huge one and I think that's fish is for you to catch. You guys have a very good spot where all the giant fish. Thank you for the videos.

Wow! Nice job!!

Congratulations on that big Lingcod, beautiful catch

Good job brother. Fish of a lifetime. Had to be exciting. You could see it in your smile. I caught my lifetime fish also this week. Luckily had it on video. Peace and tight lines.

Jealous Alaskan here!!! Today is my Friday so I'm fishin reel soon!!! Takin the kayak out ta get a halibut or maybe some rock fish! I'd love a ling!

Unreal!! Great story!!

Demy you nailed it literally your the fishing master!

Epic man. Evidence is clear, you broke off previously, and got em this time! Way to go! ✌️❤️🍻🖖🎣

WOW!!!!!!!!! what else can be said. Great video!!!

Great Video!

As I remember from catching a bunch of lingcod in the ‘ 70’s, they will swallow anything big…..live sand dabs used to catch the really big ones for us.

This video is awesome, great catch…👍

Congratulations! Great catch.

WOW!, CONGRATS ON CATCHING THAT MONSTER...

Hey Adam, that wind and those swells didn't look to kayak friendly!! Great video!!!!

Crazy man! Jurassic park just got even more insane! I think he broke you off a couple days earlier and the smelt digested but your hooks did not.

Congrats on ur huge ling man . Your videos have taught me a lot . September 18 Saturday I went out on the Santa Cruz skiff rentals and landed my first keeper halibut at 37in 20lb drifting hole squid . As I fought the fish I thought to myself “what would die hard fishing do” lol . Streight door mat man , he ended up breaking the gaff lol. God bless you . And hope to see you out there one day . Buying an inshore boat next year

This is pretty wild! Incredible adventure! I seen some amazing things fishing, but this is at the top of the list! What a great story!

You are a badass Adam! You smelt and dealt with that monster lol. Keep slaying it you fishing machine. Love your channel

So cool & very interesting. Several years ago fishing for silver salmon in Ressurection Bay in Seward, Alaska I hooked into a huge ling cod on light test. It took awhile to get it up and I noticed another line coming from its mouth. I gaffed it and was preparing to cut the extra line coming from its mouth but stopped and decided to pull in the line trailing out behind the boat. After hand gathering the line for a few hundred yards up comes a brand new Ugly Stick rod and brand new Shimano reel. I cut the stomach open and it contained my Ford Fender lure and the other lines flasher lure with a sardine. Fishing over 65 years I’ll never top that experience. Thanks for your channel. Mickey
