they look like mackerel but only bigger😆 great fishing! im getting a bit of a saltwater bug,,, just knowing ya caught world record fish is awesome... congrats
Amazing location to be so close to humpback whales 😍 Looks like the fish can shake off the hook easily. I caught mackerels in maine but they were smaller. 🐟🐟🐟You got bigger mackerels than the world record 👍🏻 Can you enter your catches for new record?
The location is pretty sweet. They pop off the hook quickly but there are others around to get right back on. I can't enter them now. You have to measure them and weigh them and save your line and lure. It's a process and I wasn't going to do it. Also it costs money. And I already ate most of them.
I think the whales were after the mackerel or the mackerel was after herring, those whales are in the herring here like that. Mackerel eating the herring and whales eating whatever gets in the way. great video Brett is there a part 2 ?🎣
The fish are just much bigger than the record. I don't want to bother with it. You need to pay to get your scale certified and there's a bunch of other crap and fees and I can't be bothered. Especially for a fish most people don't even know exists. I had fun and got a few good meals and that's good enough for me.
Bruh I would be all over that for a world record. You can go to any meat processing store/grocery store and ask to use their scale for a record. Thats how most state records are done. @@PeelingLine
@@EngineeringHooksets My scale is a good one (reuben heaton) and used to be certified. Maybe I'll try for it next year. I think my red irish lord may have been a world record too. It just gets expensive because it's $50 each time.
Thanks. No we were using 1-3 oz flutter jigs and point wilson darts. They seem to be very aggressive and will hit anything. My friend was using a 3 oz flutter jig for bottom fishing and was dropping it to the bottom when one hit 50' down. But buzz bombs should work especially if you see a school of them blowing up on the surface.
The story was we were bottom fishing and saw some fish and caught them and they turned out to be mackerel and really fun to catch and world record size. I didn't think people liked the stories. My best videos are the least effort so I don't bother when I'm short on time. I was going to do a bunch more for this video but I hadn't put anything out in a week and just threw this up there.
Thanks. I am not sure. I didn't weigh any of them. I tried to get them processed as quickly as possible. I have heard they aren't great if frozen and I know the sharks won't eat them if they're not fresh. I'll be out there next summer and will get a lot more now that I know how delicious they are.
Thanks it was. This was the same day as the last neah bay video I did. I just split it up and was going to do more for this video but didn't have time to and wanted to put something out.
@@PeelingLine I’ve never run across mackerel that close in the strait, but never realized they even came in there… I guess you just ran into a school of them… That’d be fun to experience… And no limit!
@@tymartin5099 My friend got on them up at the northern end of Vancouver island a couple weeks before. I also heard some people got them in west port too. I wish I had kept more of them. They are so much fun. There were lots of schools. I didn't get all the fish we caught on film.
@@PeelingLine Was this like mid September?… I always do a spring trip out there for the halibut opener but never really fished it late summer/fall… I gotta try and schedule I trip out there later in the season next year.
That was an epic feeding frenzy. All the layers of an ecosystem at once. The mackerel were huge. Great day.
Thanks.
holy, those mac were big! Well done Brett
Those Mackerel were thick! Pretty cool to have whales right by the boat too!
Sure was. You don't even know. The fish finder was stacked down to 50' with them. I wish I had got more footage of them.
they look like mackerel but only bigger😆 great fishing! im getting a bit of a saltwater bug,,, just knowing ya caught world record fish is awesome... congrats
Cool fishing next to Wales and some nice catches, too. You were hammering them
Thanks 👍 It is definitely interesting but also could be hazardous. They are wild animals and I've seen whales jump on boats.
@PeelingLine wow, I bet!! I'm glad it was a good experience for you, no the bad one
Awesome catch Those Mackerel were big and how many for the limit?
Thank-you. No limits and no minimum size.

Awesome stuff dude, that saltwater stuff is insane!
Thanks. So much variety for sure.

great video Brett is there a part 2 ?🎣
Thanks Dan. This is actually the part 2 of my neah bay rockfish trip.
Wait what. You gotta give us more info than that, man! Did you contact IGFA about making it official???

Wow what can i say. Wow. 😮 they are big mackerel.
Yeah I wish we had caught more. I have been eating them a bunch and they are good. I haven't tried it like you make it though.
The whale shots where amazing. Looks like you were just jigging with buzz bombs?

Epic feeding frenzy bro! I really like your style of video!
Appreciate it! I just threw this one together I was going to make it longer and show lures and techniques but i didnt have time.
@@PeelingLine It's ok, it still is enjoyable to watch, and really is the type of video that you can watch while eating lol
Which date was this? The water was so calm off shore.
I'm not sure. A few weeks ago. Yeah it was perfect conditions that day.
Fun video but what’s the story? You know like, “hey, we are fishing off the Washington coast for a lesser know fish around here and…”

Awesome Brett! How much did it weigh?
Thanks. I am not sure. I didn't weigh any of them. I tried to get them processed as quickly as possible. I have heard they aren't great if frozen and I know the sharks won't eat them if they're not fresh. I'll be out there next summer and will get a lot more now that I know how delicious they are.
What an awesome day!… Are you off the coast somewhere?… Doesn’t look like you’re even that far offshore.
Thanks it was. This was the same day as the last neah bay video I did.

@@tymartin5099 Yeah it was a few weeks ago. Definitely you should if they keep the halibut open like they did this year.
That’s awesome with whales in the mix 🤙
I think so too!
