SPEAR & COOK LINGCOD: How to Freedive-Spearfish Vid 18

In this video I use my new Evolve pole spear to hunt lingcod in the Bay Area CA while freediving. I teach you tricks to rig up your pole spear, where to find lingcod and how to hunt them and discuss the advantages of this type of pole spear for bigger fish. I also find dozens of fishing weights and we find a clam, crab and crazy alien-like parasites on the lingcod. The fish also had BLUE MEAT and and octopus in its stomach! Finally I show you how to clean this fish and cook it with plantains and an incredible mango salsa outdoors on a camp stove.

Not sure of the dive location but it was good to see that amount of kelp and the abalone. Also enjoyed seeing a number of sea stars and fewer urchins. Fingers crossed for and ab season in 2026..

I live in New Jersey, and I used to live in both Southern and Northern California, and I miss the rocky coastline. Thank you for reminding me of the natural beauty of that habitat and how to use it in a sustainable manner. God bless you.

I been bit by one of those parasites when I was in grade school, took a small chunk off my finger when I was cooling my hands in the shallows. They for sure will hurt you. Love the channel, keep it up!

I have that exact polespear and I love it. I hunt in SoCal and use both the flipper tip and their three prong. I personally love the three prong by evolve especially around the rocks

Another awesome vid Doc! I have been following you since the very beginning. I can watch you all day. I live in NYC and after a long stressful day from work, I grab a beer and rewatch your old vids and I can feel my stress just go away. I would love to sign up for your class.
