How to Catch Gigantic Fat Lingcod off Vancouver Island
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 бер 2024
- I caught a massive lingcod off the west coast of Vancouver Island while fishing with @ruggedpointlodge. We thought it was bottom at first, but it was fighting back. There is nothing like hauling up a giant lingcod from the bottom of the ocean!

Great fishing, thanks for sharing, 🎣🎣🙏💪
Thanks for watching!
Awesome, friend, what an extraordinary fish attraction,
Cheer up friends, 👍
Never have snagged on that big but you got it by the motor! My biggest is a bit over 60 and I have got one at 55 too. Love them and they taste good
That must have been a hell of a fight pulling in a 60lber, and even the 55.
They're my favorite eating fish. Halibut is a close second but you have to make sure not to overcook it.
@@wildanglestv yes they both initially pulled hard then like most just became lead till they got close to the surface then they headed back down and were unstoppable
Interesting how the lure is the same that is used in Newfoundland to catch Atlantic Cod. But they do not really give ant fight at all.
I think we figured the fish might have been in an underwater cave, took the hook, and as we pulled on it, between the fish fighting and the cave walls that chafed the line, the hook got pulled out and got re-hooked in its back end. So we were pulling it up backwards and it had a chance to fight back that way.
Had a similar thing happen with a sturgeon (you can see that video on here). 22 minutes of video, but it was hours of pulling that thing in, only to realize the hook got dislodged when the line went around another boat's anchor, and it got re-hooked in the fin.
Pulling up an 8 foot sturgeon backwards is ridiculous. According to the charts, that would've been a 276 pound fish.
What a monster, never seen a ling fight like that before.
Thanks for watching! The fight with that ling was pretty fun, especially since I didn't know what I was pulling up at first. I couldn't believe the size of the thing when I got it to the top.
Fought hard like that because it was foul hooked 😢
I guess part of the secret is to get a bigger boat, so you can fish more often
Haha for sure! I don't live near the ocean anymore so it's really beneficial to go with a charter that has all the gear.
Awesome man! Great big Lingcod. Congrats!
Thanks! Love pulling in a big fish like that, and lingcod are so good to eat. They're my favorite eating fish.
I definitely wouldn't be posing with and keeping a foul hooked fish. Keep up the good work superstar!
Thanks for your concern. You may want to read up on ocean fishing versus inland lake/stream fishing for rules.
How many inches was that toothy gator?
I don't remember that one, but I won't forget the weight lol.
Fish and chips, several times
Yeah for sure! Tastiest fish out there
Please turn OFF the clicker!!! Annoying as hell!!!
Yeah it doesn't sound great on video. Hope you liked the rest of the video.
