so cool i know were you fish hi from Bamfield
love it thank you good job
Have been fishing there for nigh on 30 years both with guides and my wn boat... While I like many of the areas north like Rivers Inlet, Langara etc, Ukie is a great place to fish relatively easy to get in and out off logistically... I met some folks this year with lots of info on Lake Shuswap (I asked you earlier about) and looking forward to the week trip, I'll get back to you late September on the results! Tight Lines Rod...
What a beautiful part of the world!
Definitely! We are very lucky to have this around us here.
There used to be an aquarium at the Weigh West Resort in Tofino that featured local species. A friend of mine, Ian, was the marine biologist who kept the aquarium stocked. My girlfriend and I went to Tofino to visit him and with Ian and I both being divers, he invited me to go for a dive with him in Tofino Inlet and gather some species like sea cucumber, starfish, abalone and I think we got a nudibranch too. He already had species like various crabs, greenling and rockfish in the aquarium. We had hoped to find an octopus but no luck. But that aquarium we were stocking was nowhere as big as that one. The one at the Weigh West was like a home aquarium but way bigger, and it was just kind of a feature to help get people in the restaurant and pub. It was nothing like the one in Ucluelet.
Awesome video I want to get a halibut so bad I bet they fight hard
Ya but its just heavy its not like a shark its a constant pull
My party just returned from Ukie, hot runs this year, but poor lighting for video, I attached a video response to your salmon vid... I also made a video about the new Halibut regs there... Tight lines Rod....
Nice Big Halibut :D Love Your Videos
Thanks!
Awesome video. The guy in the blue shirt reminds me of my friend Jackie. Only you would never see Jackie fishing. Other than that, same face, same voice. Its scary
May I ask why the fishes head may not get out of the water before it gets harpooned or something? And cool vid dude :D
Good show
Thanks!
Hey Rodney I have a trailer just off of a lake in Ontario called West lake which is attached to Lake Ontario and East Lake but I went out on the boat with my friends and their parents to fish and all of us left the rods in the water for at least 15-20 minutes and not a single fish but the depth finder/fish finder said they were all over around us... do you know what happened? (big fishing boat so we were quite a bit away from eachother so there were not too many lures to distract)
What kind of rod are you using? Brand, length, and line weight so on..Thank you, love your videos.
Aquariums are great, people especially children get to see all kinds of fish they could never see any other way and the people who work at the aquariums are very special because they know how much our oceans and waters mean to us all.
When coming out of the harbour did you go 20mins north or wesr towards the open sea?
Northwest.
y no catch and relase?
Great short film, good work.
Why do u hit the fish with a mallet?
Heck of a fishing trip Rod Good Catches .
It can be up to $300 per person for an 8 hour halibut fishing trip. With this particular charter, Big Bear Salmon Charters, they have early booking specials down to $750~$1,000 for an 8 hour charter trip for 4 people, so that works out to around $200 to $250/person.
These videos are always awesome keep up the good work
Amazing video Rod .. keep it cooming
3:52 - 4:35 explains the size limitation of our halibut fishery. The maximum size of halibut that you are allowed to keep is 126cm. Contrary to what is believed, keeping the largest fish is not the best idea in certain fisheries. Large halibut are the reproductive engines of the population. They carry the most eggs and recruitment highly depends on this size class. The fishery is designed so only a % of the smaller fish are harvested, leaving enough to grow and bigger ones to spawn.
i like the wooden mallet, we generally just use a club to whack them with.
Pay it forward well done fellas
Very cool, will have to take a look in a bit. :)
Cool video..focuses on the action..beautiful release into the aquarium
Great video, thanks!
Thanks Rod!
And if you are referring to the two small ones that were kept alive for the aquarium, those fish will in fact be released back into the wild at the end of the summer. Ucluelet Aquarium is a catch and release aquarium. All specimen are captured in spring for the summer displays, then released again at the end of the season.
Thanks!
Awesome vid, just watching this has made me want to plan a charter trip! Thanks, Rod!
awesome stuff Rod, keep up the good work!
Mike Boston Thanks!
If the fish's head gets out of the water, then it is likely to thrash around more and get away (kind of like if someone puts a person's head underwater, he or she would start thrashing around too).
Hey rod, i was wondering, whats the name of the jig you are using?
And what model of trevala where you using?
Fishin4ever It is a Gibbs-Delta "COD JIG™"

They're nice fish and all, but I really dont think killing it, aspecially taking multiple hits was something very good to put on youtube.
Liam C Why not?
I dont know, it was sort of painful to see. I'm all for fishing and having fun but I'm more used to catch and release.
I guess you get used to it after a while...
Liam C Catch and release is an excellent conservation measure and create a fuzzy warm feeling for those who participate in it, but in reality to non-anglers it is cruel to barb fish for only one purpose, which is pleasure. I personally participate in catch and release fisheries, but more often than not I would prefer to take part in a fishery which has a daily quota for retention and cease fishing once that quota is reached.
In these videos, the goal is to show the viewers what fishing is about. Being able to catch your own fish to eat is what fishing is mostly about. British Columbia's halibut recreational fishery is a sustainable one. The allocated quota for the recreational sector is very modest (dwarfed by the amount harvested by the commercial fishery). One purpose of this video is to show everyone that you can also take part in this fishery, and kill your catch properly, bleed it to preserve the best meat possible so it can enjoyed afterward. If the killing part is left out of the video, then nobody would know what to do.
Yeah, good points. Never really thought about it that way, but I personally file off the barb on the hook to commit minimal damage to the fish. At least I'm happy to hear BC has limits on fishing like here in Quebec to prevent overfishing.
Well that somewhat changed my views on non catch-release fishing and your videos. Thanks for enlightening me.
Liam C For all of the rivers (and some lakes) in British Columbia, where most of the catch and release is practiced, single barbless hooks are required. Regardless how careful the fish is being handled, there'll always be some mortality. How high that mortality is depends on a variety of factors like water temperature, the distance the fish still needs to travel from release site to spawning site, the location in the mouth where the fish is hooked. Cheers and thanks for watching.
Awsome, Rod. Wonderful
Denise kelly Thanks.
Thanks for sharing, and making this trip possible for us! :)
Awesome.
Those look like some tasty halibut!!
Amazing vid rod!
Thanks for watching!
Excellent Video! Thank you for letting the world know about the best kept secret of the westcoast.
Very interesting you got my thumbs up!
SantaClaus HawkeyeNJ Thanks Santa!
Thanks. :) The anchor rope was pulled up by using the boat. I have another video showing how it is done soon.
We actually saved the entire carcasses for fish broth.
what kind of rod were you using? and what kind of line?
The rods are Shimano Trevala. I'm not completely sure what lines were used so cannot comment on that.
thanks rod
The fleece? Yeah... It's comfortable and I generally only use it for fishing, that's why it always shows up in all the videos... ;)
Thanks! Those are Shimano Trevala rods. :)
What is the rod and reel
Shimano Trevala rod and Avet reel.
Excellent video Rod, very entertaining and informative especially the aquarium bit.
Its a nice break from all the heavy metal death thrash fishing videos I usually watch long enough to give a thumbs down to.
Thank you. That's exactly what I try to accomplish in these videos, to create a relaxed mood and make people feel like they are also there experiencing it.
Great video as always, Rod! I know that it takes a lot of time to make videos (especially fishing videos!), so thanks for the entertainment!
~Kenneth
Ok, thank you for answering my questiion :D
nice video man
I think it was between 100 and 150ft.
U guys should do videos in bamfeild
sweet
fishingwithrod.com rocks. I've learned so much on that great web site. One of the best fishing web sites in Canada, in my opinion.
Thanks for the kind words!
We practice catch and release from time to time, but we'll also harvest a few fish to eat when given the opportunities. Strictly catching and releasing all fish is not an ethical practice unlike what some fishermen may wish to believe.
I live down in Victoria
Cool.....
Charity fish... I guess you accept charity halibut, haha!
What kind of action do you recommend I have a light action
to bring them to life
Hey rod,
Great video! Just wondering where exactly you guys were when catching those chickens.
We were just outside of Ucluelet Harbour, maybe 20 minute boat ride from the dock.
I really like the look of that reel! By memory do you remember what kind?? Nice video by the way:)
great video!!! May I ask what kind and brand of rod you're using?
why are you keeping those little ones.......let them grow up!!
Hi Rod we are planning to go salmon and halibut fishing at Ucluelet on May, I'm just wondering how good is fishing there around this month?
This video was from April, so halibut fishing can be excellent early in the season with the lack of fishing pressure. Salmon fishing offshore does not start until a bit later, but inshore chinook salmon fishing in Barkley Sound can be excellent. Check out ua-cam.com/video/UFFTDrXtzOY/v-deo.html
My suggestion to you is to give Big Bear Salmon Charters a call and ask him what they are expecting for this fishing season and plan your trip based on their local advice.
6:36 blunt force trauma
but I love fishing
Im Jealous Love catching bottoms, you never know what your going to get
For what?
how much is the halibut trip?
Why do they have to kill it straight away?
The fish are killed immediately for three reasons:
1) Our fishing regulations require fishermen to kill your catches immediately if you decide to keep them.
2) It is cruel to let a fish die slowly, so the most humane way is to kill it right away to prevent a slow death.
3) Killing a fish immediately and bleeding it keeps your fish fresh.
Thanks :)
Wrong country buddy.
Eh?
You know seeing gods.creatures in pain make me in pain...im a Christian...but you know what I say to myself...c'mon Steven theres load of them in the ocean and plus they can breed and make more
Shut up...
Why you kill fish
Because some of us prefer to know exactly where the food we put in our mouths are coming from.
I agree rod, for me, God gave animals as food.
***** same rod, and dude keep wacking lol.
To eat
next time u go there asq the girl for the number for me if u wanna help ur brother !
I fish and honestly this video disturbed me. I think, how would it feel if someone sawed away at my lungs then cut most of my foot off before I was dead? Not very humane in my opinion. It's when we become numb to this stuff that we're not human anymore.
You've commented on the wrong video.
very boring captain
Yeah ok... After a quick browse through your video archive, we can see how you're just life of a party lol...
Thanks!
