Watching this video again as I’m getting excited about long season coming up and I still love it! Can’t wait to get out there again. You reactions are the best. Please never lose your child like excitement man.
I love how you guys don’t trash talk the small fish like some youtubers, but instead you are just happy you caught it!
I’m glad somebody else is getting as excited as nwfs
Ur so right there’s not many fisher UA-cam guys out of the northwest. There’s plenty of east coast guys tho and some in so cal or tropical places
Man it's been a long time since I've been in those waters fishing. I grew up on Whidbey, but I only ever got out to fish there a few times. Finally getting back into the game. So glad I found your channel, it's definitely sparked the excitement again!
Live flounders work the best to catch lingcod so be sure to stop off along a sandy bottom area, and hook some to use for bait.
Lingcod fishing is open in most areas of Puget Sound with best choices being Possession Bar on the south side of Whidbey Island; the breakwaters at Elliott Bay, Shilshole and Edmonds marinas; Point Evans; south of Hat Island; southeast of Alki Point near the green buoys; and Toliva Shoal.
100% true, nice palm size flounder make for goooood Ling bait.
Nice
That’s gold right there,
I think it's awesome the amount of excitement you have with every cast! You have a great attitude all in all! Keep up the great vids...love them
Brian: "Just a little baby ling though"
Leif: " look at this monster "
🤣🤣🤣
Always coming back to these videos for tips and tricks with the trout too keep it up, your the plug for all the Bay Area people that don’t see the stuff up north awesome content keep pushing we appreciate you!!
Ohhhhh No! I'm shaking too!
That was an epic catch!
All your videos are entertaining. All of them!
Headed here for the banana and boat talk and sure enough. Absolutely LOVE your videos, I am so jealous of what you do. Thanks for the videos
My heart was racing the whole time you were reeling it in lol, I can only imagine how you were feeling when you finally seen it land safely in the net lol!!! Great job dude, what an amazing catch! 👍🎣
Ha
2 guys eating bananas that dont look right lol 🤣🤣 big nice fish huh... love the view around...
Amazing catch on the cods gentlemen! Monster cods in the NorthWest puget sounds! Great job and video once again!
I just seen your video that was outstanding brother letting that big fish go lot of guys would just pochet but I admire you that's what we're supposed to do fishing is a sport remember you're not starving good job I wish I was there😌
Going out Saturday for the first time targeting lingcod. I am so stoked!
All your videos are awesome man.
I rewatch them all the time
Favorite UA-camr. You deserve way more credit for your awesome videos. Keep it ip
Back at it again with the great content💪
Just got the sanddab lure, looking forward to fishing them in California. Awesome video, great job!
Damn Man! I've been binge watching your channel for the last couple of days. Started out with your latest stuff, then skipped back to your first upload and now I'm currently on this video. Freakin Amazing!! I love the channel and also love how you have came along on the production side as well. To see how you have improved so much in your thumbnails and video productions. Totally impressive!! Just from what I've seen in the last couple of days worth of watching. You my man deserve to all the success you get on UA-cam. I can't wait to see the next video!!!
And here is just a small request if you are ever in the area. When I was stationed in Whidbey back in 04-06 I always wanted to fish Pass Lake when I drove by it. If you ever get in that area, I would love to see a video from there.
The both of you got beautiful large humongous fish congratulations to the two of you!! I'm glad you guys had a happy time fishing. YOUR fan .🙂🧛♀️ love the fishs!!!😍❤❤👍✌👋
Thank you for sharing your bait secrets!
ALWAYS BRING ICE!!! Great vid... Tight lines
Can't wait to get back to the coast! Fish on!
Wow nice catch. I love fishing.
It doesn’t suck. What WOULD suck is keeping a magnificent breeding fish responsible for the size Chris was able to retain. I was happy with my 26 inch ling that I caught over here near Center Island this morning on my way back from getting my limit of spots at Iceberg. Congratulations on catching a 42 inch monster. It has paid its dues to get this big. Fabulous video work, too! I just realized I am actually wearing the very same Columbia polar fleece long sleeve zip-up that Chris is wearing. We be cool 😎
Juicy video, really killin' it! Tight lines :)
We just got a little lucky 🍀 🎣 Glad you enjoyed :)
Holy cow, that was an amazing lingcod. 42” is a monster. Hahahahaha!!! Wow!!!
This is the best channel on UA-cam
Way cool video, can't wait to try out some lingcod fishing in the puget sound. I didn't know how productive the lingcod are in Seattle
Awesome catch!
Best fish n chips in the world. Sweet you guys killed it!
Such darn good fish n chips 🤤
Increíbles peces amigo, saludos desde Costa Rica 🇨🇷✌️
Another great, informative and enjoyable video Leif! Keep up the good work! Take Gorm next time!
Thank you! I’m loving all the feedback everyone has been giving! Making these videos enjoyable and informative for my viewers is so important to me 👍
And I’d LOVE to take Gorm!
Bananas on boats are badluck, awesome video!
Ahhhh yeahhh ahhhhh yeahhhh it’s big ahhhh yeahhhhh... get Energy drink brother.... wow wow..... you guys freaking awesome 👍👍👍👍👍
I remember when he only had 13k subs proud of the progression man! Keep putting up out 🤙🏽
I don’t go that far back, the first vid I saw was the MONSTER mountain trout from July. Really glad I found this channel, it’s definitely my favorite channel on UA-cam no doubt.
Å
Bomb looking ling! good work!
Thanks man! Still my PB 😂
From the uk your awesome bro! That’s better now I got that out
LOL That big one tried to face smack you in revenge! Fun video -thanks for sharing it!
Thanks for watching! He almost got me good! 😂
Dude! Never take bananas on the boat! You were lucky to have such a good day!!
Just found ya and liking it. Keep it up.
Nice vid. Next summer we’re going for lingcod
Man, your videos are the best! I live in Utah and travel around the US fishing and Hunting. Hoping to get up to the sound soon. I usually use a fishing Kayak (pedal and trolling motor drive) and wanted to see if you had recommendations on where I could launch the Kayak and get on some drifts.
If you ever get to Utah (Powell, flaming Gorge, high mountain trout/camping,, etc.) Let me know. I'd be happy to get you on the fish for some more awesome content!
Nice ling it’s cool always wanted to catch one
Thank you for this video. I got some of those sand dab jigs and killed the opening day.
Dude, I saw your review on amazon about the sand dab bait. I’m already a subscriber but it was funny to run into your review. Made me watch this video.
That was epic, I’ve never seen a ling that big!
Haha yeah, those little dab baits had me so fired up I just had to write an amazon review 😂
You guys are bananas!
🍌
I have to go fishing with you, I live in Kirkland and would love to fish a day with you bro. Love your videos!
When you are fishing for the ling cod, how do you know if your bait are by the rocks or not? Also, what area are you fishing at? Thanks
Spot looked familiar. Thanks for the Intel brother. Caught around 30 big rock fish and 2 lings yesterday. 👊👍
Lots of rockfish there.... Awesome that you landed a couple lings too! Thank you for the baits!
Did you get any deer up there
Cameron Short wrong channel
Ya it does I live in bainbridge
Nice ling, some times slot limits just plane suck. But it is better than getting closed down completely. Up here (Alaska) we can keep anything over 36" We would have munched on that guy and savored every bite. Good job - like your Vids
Good work, sir!
Thank you! Can’t wait for next season!
Nice man! I need me a boat lol
Oh no, bananas on the boat 🤣
All of my fishing up there has been on lakes north of Spokane. One of these years I'll do it in Puget sound.
Coolest lure ever.
Awesome
Bananas on the boat! You are provoking the gods.
Bannana on the boat!!!! 😮😮😮😮😮
Man you are good 👍
Banana in the boat !! I’d jump overboard !!
I'm moving to Everett on the 1st of September, maybe ill see you out there.
5:17 fishing rods always amaze me...
Any advice on targeting bottom fish from a kayak? I'm in Lakewood, early retired and I try to get out a couple times a week.
Black salmon hoodie merch.wow!
I’ve always know littles flatties are good bait but I’ve never seen a flatty lure. The Brits (at least used to) put a big spoon in front of flatfish (place and flounder) baits.
Had no idea these baits existed either! Until my friend Brian pulled em out and said they should work for Lings. Guess they did 😂
Where in the sound did you catch this
6:17 i had to pause it and say yeah buddy. I haven't even seen the fish yet.
Ha, yeah I couldn't believe what I had on the line at that point... Biggest fish I had ever fought 🎣 Thanks for enjoying!!!
Your welcome
Man that 42" was a nice catch man
Thanks dude!
I'm going out tomorrow in the San Juan islands hopefully get some good ones, we use Herring and it works pretty well.
Are you using live herring or frozen? Either way, good luck! 🎣 👊
@@NWFishingSecrets Frozen, I have never used live i wonder how good that works.
Love your videos brotha! Do you rent these boats in the sound? Would love to get after these on something like this. Thanks for sharing these videos.
Thank you Jason! I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos! Uploading another good one today! The boats I use are from Freedom Boat Club! WAY cheaper than owning a boat. Feel free to email me for more info about the club! nwfishingsecrets@gmail.com
Great video. Tried to find that lure and looks like it's gonna be hard to find. Gonna fish marine 13 this sat. Any good spots in that area?
You can find those sand dabs on the “Hogy” website - just bought some.
do you just let the plastic hang out on the bottom or do you work it at all?
Nice fish. I was fishing off the rocks at Oakbay, Victoria. Caught 8 Lingcod but measuring from 30cm to 37cm. Too small to keep them. I take it that big legal size Lingcod are only catchable in deeper water ?
What kind of boat are you using? Can you rent boats in the area? Maybe an episode about the best and cheapest boats to fish the area with?
Please pick me, I love the Washington hoodie!!!by the way I love your videos I have watched almost all of them!!!
OMG IM SPASING OUT
Excellent! Where did you find the imitation sand dab? Been using real sand dabs for years, but that imitation would sure keep us fishing longer. Thanks
Absolutely! Got the link to them on Amazon in the video description!
Is the by Lincoln Park/Alki area? Looks to be. Awesome video have been wanting to go after Lings for a long time.
Can’t tell spots, but lots of good lingin’ areas out there! 🎣🤣 see you out there in May!
Very exciting video!!! Is Lingcod bottom fish? Can you fish from shore?
Can one get nice lings sea bass out of seiku coming from woodland looks so fun we have a well equipped 18ft raider love the channel
Some nice baby snatchers!! Big ol suckers
Wow i moved up to NW washingotn in dec, apt life made me buy a raft and trolling motor lol. =P would be awesome to go fishing.
Man I would love to move out there
Is there a maximum size limit to the lingcod you caught.?
36" where I was fishing 🤙
So is there a slot size on lings? Those are beautiful fish! I personally believe that lings and rock fish taste better than halibut.... but thats just me. For my education, what is your gear setup, other than the flounder jig? Looks like an Ugly Stik Tiger Stik. Great to see videos of people following the regs!
There is indeed a legal slot of 26"-36" that you can keep Lings in. Different when you're spear fishing, or out in the open Pacific. And I totally agree! Cabezon & Lingcod are my favorite, followed by Halibut and Rockfish. Too bad Rockfish aren't at sustainable numbers yet in the Sound. And my full gear setup is in the video description on most of my videos, along with direct links to Amazon, so people can pick up the identical gear if they want! And thank you! While everyone makes a mistake here and there, we do try to follow the regs as well as we can, and try to educate others about them as well.
Very nice. We normally eat the salted ling. Expensive. For 160gm is priced at 3.00.
If the length is 42 cm you have to release it?
Tell me about your line choice you landed that giant ling cod on. Braid and leader.
Can you tell us exactly location in puget sound to fishing bottom fish ? Please
Btw did you know banana's are said to be bad luck on a sea/ocean going vessel? That and peanuts i think....i forgot the reasoning behind it but i'm pretty sure banana's especially. Just a fyi/old salty tale or something... Nice catches btw and thanks for the bait recommendation! :)
you go
Awesome way to debunk the banana myth
😂 for real 🍌
Norwegian cod jigs work great for ling cod also
That would be fun to try out!
Where outside of Seattle is this? Where can I launch my boat to fis around these area?
Do you do low key friendly charters for around Puget Sound. I've always wanted to fish for Ling
Sadly no. I've considered getting my guiding license, but I'd have a hard time turning my passion into work.... Fishing for Lings is a blast. Believe it or not, but that big one was actually the first I've ever caught. No fancy gear or boats needed. Just find rocks and have patience 🎣

Golf city bitch, golf golf city bitch.
@@Kinghunter182 rfg$$4rrrrd$$'5,500 your pet care insurance has a great amount for
you should do a catch and cook of the ling
Like cook up a fillet that I still have frozen? Or go catch a new one and cook it in the field??? 😆
Bleed em
Where can i find those san dab soft baits?
Got the Amazon.com link in the video description 👍 Be warned, they sell out all the time now 😂
You found a sea monster 😂
