Right before rock fish season closed, went out with a friend and got easy limits on unbaited red shrimp flies. All types of different species. Even hooked up on a small ling with them. Definitely work good! Thanks for sharing!
I know you announced that you got your PHD recently, what field are you in if you're willing to share? I'd definitely be curious to learn more about what you do outside of fishing recreationally! These videos are great.
This video is awesome, your best one yet! I LOVE the data that CCFRP shares. Is there any way for locals to volunteer to help catch and tag these fish?
I appreciate all the work you put into making this video for us. Very informative. Hoping to see rockfish numbers continue to grow like they have been over the last decade or so.
Awesome video. I appreciate the way you presented the data and your observations. You're right, there is so much to learn to preserve our fisheries. Thanks!
Oh snap , look who drop an episode , hell yeah , He's back , like he never left , I can't lie , I been waiting though Thanks for sharing D 🤝🏽. This was dope
I have biology degree also, although not as educated as you. I have always admired your use of genus species names for the fish you catch. Keep up the interesting and educational format!
I actually caught a red near the horseshoe kelp area in Long Beach California and the DFG was doing a tagging study on the boat that day . Crazy thing was the young man who was on the boat doing the study had actually tagged the same red in Oceanside California the year before. It amazed us that that red actually traveled nearly 80 miles in one year !
That was brilliant!! I have been involved in waterfowl banding and understand how that works but this is the first info I have seen on the fishery. I have never seen a tagged fish brought in.
What an amazing video, i love the footage of the fish how it changes from a MPA to a not regulated area, they were completely avoiding the flies, great job.
Great video!! very informative. Thanks for confirming that the MPAs have tons of fish, lol. Another hard evidence that fish moves is that we are still catching some fish just outside of Half moon bay. So many boat and kayaks patrol that area every day. If fish don't move, none of us can possibly catch anything there. Not only that we can still catch fish there, occasionally there are some very good ones too.
Do you know what university or organization you were working with? I'm in community college now but that is exactly what I want to do when I transfer. Or maybe I can even start now!
Searched tagging fish and sure enough Daniel has a video out. Freezer full of meet, thinking of tag and release. No bait on hook, more of the shiny hook to attract the fish.

The revised regulations include the following new requirements when fishing with crab traps: - A standardized buoy and additional red buoy marker for each trap - All crab traps must be serviced at least every 9 days - A Recreational Crab Trap Validation is required when fishing crab traps $2.42 - A limit of 10 traps per person
As a data professional and angler, this was a fascinating data-driven angle to me that I would love to see more of. You mentioned that the fish outside of the MPA were around but they seem less aggressive and that reminded me of some research I've found in the past. There is a relevant study called "Selection for Vulnerability to Angling in Largemouth Bass". This article explores how vulnerability to angling (mostly due to aggression) appears to be a heritable trait among fish. If I were a rockfish and my parents got hooked by an angler, I would be far more likely to face the same fate. This also means that when these angling-vulnerable fish are removed from the ocean, the remaining population and further generations will be less catchable.
Man this video was great and right up my alley! I am going back to school to pursue a degree in marine biology. What is your degree exactly? I'd love to pick your brain? Where you went to school? School/degree recommendations? So many questions...
Fishermen are some of the biggest conservationists. We intimately understand the value of the fishery and want to ensure that future generations can enjoy these resources.
Looks like you had a good time with some smart and fun people and thank you for the links as well, interesting how bait vs no bait changes the successes. 15:05 I would theory that if you have 2 fish, one aggressive and one passive (comparatively) that would hold over in mating, aggressive wins over passive. But in predation by other fish passive is eaten first, providing a means of protection in a way for the aggressive. By fishing out the aggressive, you are changing the outcome of mating because passive by numbers remaining (those not successfully fished out) then win over aggressive simply because there is more of them. Question the falls into: what is the generational impact if the aggressive brood is 70% passive 30% aggressive but a passive brood was 75% passive 25% aggressive. (note my wildly wild numbers are wild only for the sake of discussion and not factual numbers taken from any study, but if I were speaking to a person looking to make a study Id say "hey look, what if...." and go from there).
I'm just glad to know if they have done literally anything with the data because I've never met or talked to anybody who has ever had a tag collected. I've been worrying, honestly.
thanks for that, and keep adding the latin names below! I wish we could bring back the sea otters. they supposedly eat 30 urchins every day, unlike taku, who only eats 10 or so. ;) A lot of local fishermen are afraid of otter preserves or other marine protected areas but you will see that they fish right on the boundary because there really is more life there. The enemy is not line fishing. It's an ancient history of killing otters, a mysterious disease that killed sea stars, and an industry that needs to change its ways. Basic economics say if it's harder to get, it should cost more. When people cheat the rules and sell for less, they destroy the good people who are doing the right thing. Preaching online is to the Choir. Active political motion is necessary globally to solve this problem. No nation's fisheries will change their ways unless ALL do. We're talking about billions of dollars and people getting killed. Think cocaine. It's that serious and widespread.
Released MPA fish upon reaching the bottom again: "I'm not saying it's aliens ... but it's aliens! How else could this weird tube thing made of a substance not of this ocean have been stuck into my back? Don't take my word for it, ask Bob over there, he was pulled up to the light and got one stuck into his back, too."
Next year Japan will start releasing the Fukushima nuclear waste into the Pacific, the current outside Japan comes clockwise along the Alaskan coast and then to Baja California. Any thoughts? Anything we can do?
The data about the type of bait that caught the share of fish doesn’t really mean much. It’s probably more a reflection of what gear was used by the fishermen as opposed to what fish actually like best.
Aye he’s back
This was a great video! Very informative-keep up the great work!
THE RETURN OF THE KING! Also happy 100th video
Well done, great work Daniel! 💯🎣
Right before rock fish season closed, went out with a friend and got easy limits on unbaited red shrimp flies. All types of different species. Even hooked up on a small ling with them. Definitely work good!
Thanks for sharing!
Really good video Daniel! I learned a lot. And really liked your talk at the end. I feel that way too when I fish.
Love this!! We need more people understanding our oceans!
Super awesome video! Good to see you on YT again. Miss your underwater footage
I know you announced that you got your PHD recently, what field are you in if you're willing to share? I'd definitely be curious to learn more about what you do outside of fishing recreationally! These videos are great.
definitely my fav vid from this channel by far
Finallyyyyyyyy!!!!! Been waiting for a video Brody, can’t wait for lunch break lol
Awesome video D and welcome back!!!
Nice to see you again. This is a video that should be viewed by everyone in California who fishes. Thanks for posting!
Man... This was a really good episode. Just really well made.
Loved the video and very happy to see you back!
This video is awesome, your best one yet! I LOVE the data that CCFRP shares. Is there any way for locals to volunteer to help catch and tag these fish?
Great man..keep it up and come back quickly

About time you back bro lol… Been waiting for your return with the videos… 🎣 ❤️✌🏽
Daniel the merging of your two backgrounds make this content 🔥
What a fascinating video. So glad your back because you have one of the very best fishing channels.
Awesome video. I appreciate the way you presented the data and your observations. You're right, there is so much to learn to preserve our fisheries. Thanks!
So glad to see you back, sir.
Awesome video Daniel, love the data analysis!!!
Excellent video - thanks for sharing and explaining how the program works. Great job! 👍
Oh snap , look who drop an episode , hell yeah ,
He's back , like he never left , I can't lie , I been waiting though
Thanks for sharing D 🤝🏽.

Best kind of fishing video, Very informative and educational.
This is one of the greatest fishing videos i have seen. Great work youre doing here bro!
Thanks for sharing

Really great seeing the conservation efforts and the results. Good job!

Nice vid D , glad you are doing this type of filming
Yes you're back 👏🏾 🙌🏾
Awesome video, was just out there rockfish were plentiful and I got a nice Ling
Awesome vid Daniel, really enjoyed this one.
Atlast., A new video, I'm waiting for this
Do you know what university or organization you were working with? I'm in community college now but that is exactly what I want to do when I transfer. Or maybe I can even start now!
Been looking for you good to back

Loved the documentary video! Thank You, Daniel!
Wondering if you offer any merch? Was gonna support you and Fisherman’s Life a skosh-lmk … much appreciated

Great information. Knowledge is always a powerful thing. Go science.
This is awesome bro! Very informative 👍👍 thanks
Great informative video, so well done!
This was such an informative and inspirational video. Hope to see more
I don’t even fish but I enjoy watching you D
Ah nice seeing a Philosophy D notification!
Man this video was great and right up my alley! I am going back to school to pursue a degree in marine biology. What is your degree exactly? I'd love to pick your brain? Where you went to school? School/degree recommendations? So many questions...
if that is the pebble beach area, lots of kayak fish in the area but not the MPA area.
Amazing educational video!!!

Excellent vid Doctor Philosphy D
Congrats Doc!
sick info video. super slept on
what does bar mean? for the graphs, it says shrimp fly with bait, without bait, and then bar? sorry if i missed something in the video
Bar usually means metal jigs.

Interesting stuff Professor, awesome dude!
That’s why D loves using under water camera.
Welcome back
Thanks for giving
Let's get it 💪
The legend himself I hope everything is okay with you D
Hell yeah he’s back, been a few years lol
nice video. can you find the data for live bait vs swimbait?
Very cool! Where you been?
I'm just glad to know if they have done literally anything with the data because I've never met or talked to anybody who has ever had a tag collected. I've been worrying, honestly.
Loved this! Thanks 😊
I caught a tagged chinook in sacramento do. Do you get money for a tagged fish?
I was starting to get worried lol
Great video!
Gracias for you videos brotha
Mate, still waiting for your new videos :(
Great information, Tks D
That’s what’s up, bro. 😁🤙🏼
