Thanks bro! I'm glad you're enjoying it!

I’m surprised there weren’t any abalone in your video. With the long running moratorium on taking them, you’d think they’d be abundant in Monterey. I didn’t notice much giant kelp (their main food source) so that’s probably why. I grew up diving for ab and didn’t have to go more than 15 feet deep to get my limit in about 20 minutes. I can’t tell you how much I miss the succulent taste of these delicious gastropods. The freezer at my house growing up was ALWAYS stocked! Great days!

Yeah not that long ago actually there used to be a big ole kelp forest right where I caught the opel eye and the kelp bass! Unfortunately I missed out on all the abalone day in Monterey but I know some spots up north in Jenner where some buddies of mine get some. I'll be doing a video up there hopefully sooner than later 🤿🔱 thank you for your comment!

Abalone is closed…. Likely will not be coming back since they’re not doing so well

I confused abalone for scallops in my response above. My friends get scallops NOT abalone 😅

Just kept going on freediving trips. I never took a freediving course but I would love to, they practice breathing techniques before the dive that helps with breath holding longer

that baby lingcod you got lol

It was definitely limit when I shot it cuz I vividly remember measuring it against my arm! I killed and bled it right away and put in the float. We stayed in the water for another 3 hours after that and when I took it out for pictures it had shrunk at least 2 inches and looked small in the picture. (Probably wasn't a good idea to include in the video but meh lol)

where was this specifically in monterey? good stuff though!

The first rockfish you caught was actually a kelp rockfish not a black rockfish

How big was the lingcod?

@pursuitoffish

When i measured it underwater after I shot it it was 22.5 inches. But we stayed in the water for like another 3 hours or so that day and I had bled it right after I caught it and it had shrunk a bit after we got out

as you said, not a good practice to leave the line loose

Hola amigo yo soy de México también practico pesca sub en playa del Carmen tengo una lámpara bogge como la tuya pero mi cargador se rompió ahí por dónde vives me podrías conseguir un cargador de 3 pin y te pago el costo más envío por favor.

Mucho por aprender....demasiado ruido y golpes en las piedras con el arpon...mala colocacion de la linterna...etc. Pero poco a poco se aprende.

It's certainly easier with better conditions. You gotta be built a little different for Monterey
