  • @TimLPINE
    @TimLPINE 4 роки тому +15

    Seeing that 36" ling made me think that perhaps we should be voluntarily establishing a max size too- the rationale being those very large fish are the best breeding stock as well as they tend to be like you said more beat up, and also have more parasites so less appealing for the table. I'm gonna go for the 22" to 30" size class for keepers and let the very big fish go in the hopes they provide the best chance for more fish in the future.

The time you had a boat hit you is example that a bad situation could get 10 times worse without florescent flag, vest, whistle, radio, flare, and even wet suit in cooler waters. Everyone's safety is paramount. Great videos!

      I used to catch lots as a kid. Even set out eel pots to catch them. You skin them and chunk them up. Fry them in a pan with a little oil and salt. That’s all my grandfather used and that’s all I used and they were delicious! It’s the flavor of the eel that’s the showcase! They do squirm in the pan though...lol! Don’t worry, they’re not still alive...

    The Monkey Faced Prickleback (Eel) is one of the finest and most pure white meats I have ever tasted. You can order it in some up market restaurants in San Francisco. It is one of the hidden gems that the Pacific Northwest offers. While it starts out as a gelatinous blob that you can barely filet, it firms up in the pan and becomes a delicacy if it is cooked right. You definitely want the bigger ones. I was a skeptic until my step son brought one home after a spearfishing day on the Oregon coast. I am now a believer.

      To be fair. Pike get quiet sizable!

      I have been nervous on a 27 metre motor cat before when the weather picked up. As someone who works at sea I couldn't imagine myself doing this........very brave.
