    Man if you can find a woman who gets that excited over hauling fish up from deep water with an electric reel, she's a keeper! Nice informative video!

    Thank you Alan…for taking the time to film that, we just moved to Alaska and I had no idea that you could fish for those, how do you prepare them, what do they taste like?

      There the best eating fish far by none. The commercial guys send most there catch to Japan then they process some to send back here to the states. In Japanese restaurants you get an 8oz serving for $50 and up. You can put miso on it and bake or eat raw too. I steam it chinese style and fry with panko & flour delicious!

      I'm in Washington but I catch them often off the west coast of vancouver island. Last year halibut fishing it was pretty much instant hook ups once I got the gear on bottom. There were so many the school was following the hooked fish right up to the surface

    nice trip. any thoughts on what kind of bottom to fish? did you guys sound around till you found either bait or black cod on the bottom? last stupid question is did you guys try and anchor for them or just back troll into the current? I'm from BC and have been trying to figure how out how to fish for them. Thanks

    • @AlanFong
      @AlanFong  Рік тому

      In Alaska were fishing in 1500-2000 ft down on muddy bottoms. Were drifting and just dragging our riggs. Were using a drop shot rig with a 4# torpedo weight with two circle hooks with bait. Electric reels are a must with 100# test! Best eating fish around!

    Looks like the black cod will be gone in a short amount of time just like the charter fleet did to the halibut fishery around southeast too. Personally I think electric reels should be banned for sport fishing. Not sport in a reel that Rees it’s self in.

    • @AlanFong
      @AlanFong  Рік тому

      Alaska really protects there fishery. The black cod are taken by the commerical long liners and they have a quota. There are just a handful of guys that fish deep for them. I don't think anyone could reel one up at 2000ft down. Takes an electric reel 15-20 minutes to get it up. You still have to set the drag and the speed as if you were reeling it up.

      That year Tom a friend of mine got covid (sick) and was rooming n fishing with me so I put mask on and prayed I wouldn't get sick. Tom and the guy who gave it to him were taken off the island for the remainder of the trip. After I got home two days later I got sick and so did most of the people who also went on that trip. My doctor said if I ever got it to get hold him asap with my heart condition it will be no joke. I was given meds and I was feeling better in two days.
