MASSIVE 5 fish LIMIT of California Halibut!!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 гру 2021
- The first time in my life I had caught a Southern California limit of halibut. 5 fish that made me work. I spent 9 hours on the water but it paid off in Big fish. 38,37,35,30, and 24 inch halibut that all came on live sardines and mackeral.
They say the hardest thing on earth is diamond. They lied, it's the balls of this man to hold 5 halibut on a tiny boat
Ahahahaha! That tiny boat was barely staying afloat!
Btw were in ca are you.i catch halibut off pier at oyster point with white Carolina rigged grub bouncing off bottom .2 inch curly tail white grub they hammer.
I can't even fit my 6'5 ass and my 2 shepards on my boat without capsizing in even pretty mellow water. BIG guys got hosed in the boat game. Yeah. Technically I'm in the weight limits of the boats even being lean as hell but it's always at the very top end of the weight limits. Unstable boats always unless I spend WAAAY more than I can afford🤣 can't beleive he literally stacked em up on there
Why does that take balls?
You’re a beast in every sense of the word!!!
Congrats on the limit! Fish giggles all around. Thanks for the great videos too!
Thank you thank you!!
chad

Great to see new vids again! Awesome job
Thanks man much appreciated!
11:03 “The small one is 34 and a half” 😂
Nice job putting in the work!! 💪🏼
Great but great content. I actually watched the entire video. Perfect sea state.congrats on your max limit!!!
Thanks!!
Account hacked????? Weird message above.
Great video man... awesome job on hitting limits.
Scored!!!
That was a insane hali bite!!! Nice going!
I think I caught my limit too, just watching this video. 😆 congratulations and great work !
Thanks!!
That was an epic day! Congrats! Great video…
Thank you!
Nice Limit! You making it so easy lol
While you giggled, me laughing🤣
well that was really worth your time! gratz and bon appetit!
awesome, go out catch your bait, have fun, then use the bait and have even more fun catching big halibut, what a riot, thanks for sharing
That gaff, and stabilize with your leg technique is epic
Thanks Andrew!!! I’ve been perfecting it for years now. Gaff to the guts, pull her tight against the side of the yak, and stabilize. I haven’t lost a single fish once I get that gaff in ✊🏼……Hopefully I didn’t just jinx it.
It is
Thanks for the upload
Great day on the water. When was this and where were you?
My pleasure. Glad I finally got an edit done😆
Came here from the shrimp punch. Now subbed and fully committed to watching all these
You are the Man!
your yak set up is legit!
That is the best hali fishing I've seen a kayaker do on youtube.....definitely two thumbs up 👍 👍
Sweet!!! Thats very cool to hear. I've worked my ass off the last 6 or 7 years really trying to figure these fish out and its definitely paying off.
@@Mr.Markus. yea hali fishing is my go to,I even got the 22in ruler tattooed on my leg for when I go kayaking or whatever
@@halibutman3208 what!?!? That’s a pretty badass tattoo man. I wanna get a hali on my leg or foot pretty soon.
@@Mr.Markus. I thought about that but when you get old it will probably look more like what comes out of a butt instead of a but
@@Mr.Markus. just saw your newest video, dude your KILLING IT on the hali game I love it....I'm always up n down from lbc to San Diego looking for em
Amazing catch on a tiny boat. Good luck with your channel.
Cool video, definitely a halibut honey hole
🤙🏼
Every gaff shot was so satisfying
5/5 on the belly shots. I guess I was on point that day🙃
Wow, looks like the live bait tube works pretty well
Nice haul!
Thanks Afran🤙🏼
This video is awesome! Makes me really want to invest in good fishing equipment in the future.
Agreed.
Thanks for these videos !!! It really help us tigers to locate them butts
Glad to help man. What’s a tiger though? What does that mean?
Awesome video man 🤙 respect
Thanks brah.
It's a prosperous day for you. 👍
love the fishgiggles best feeling ever dude i cant believe this
Best feeling for sure!
Dammmm Thats A Nice Catches, Good Job To The Limit….
Yeah buddy!
This is epic. I live very close to here and need to get like you. Nice job
Which beach is this
Great job 👏🏻
Thanks!!!!!!
I'm impressed, way to go cowboy ,job well done,I know where that is,have a good one brother
I had to check the beginning of your video multiple times and finally figured out where you were. I have never limited on Halibut and know how difficult they can be to catch. Epic way to round out your year, nice work buddy!
Thanks!
Damn...talk about spot lurker. Smh.
where is that location?
I believe SC.
@@ronfernandez4746 never mind i found it
Wow! Didn't know you could do any of this catching of bait (I theorized) then have these live bait cages, then use'em to catch bigger fish. And all in a fishing kayak So fricken Master!
Thanks!!!
Brooooo 🤙them Big Macs pay off no bait to big to throw down 🤣 super stoked for u brother yeeeeeooowwhhh🤙
This channel can be one of the best in the future keep it up I’m sold on personality too homie lol
Thank you! That’s great to hear!
I just fucking die watching these videos. I'm always excited seeing the photo opportunities and then water splashes and then I'm like "Oh no!"🤣
Me and water been beefing for almost 30 years now.
You really should have made amends with water by now. Its a pretty incredible place🤙🏼
@@Mr.Markus. 🤣🤣🤣 I actually agree
Wow same bait used in them cattle boats but you.pulled jackpot 5 times from 5 different cattle boats lol. Awesome job brotha
I feel you on that bro, hate to get on um and boom here comes the crowd. 🤦🏿 It's a ocean out here why are you 50 ft away from me. Love the videos!!! The chasing bait to gaffin those barn 🚪. If I'm ever in SoCal & see you bro gotta shake your hand. #RespectYourDedication
👋🏼
Being on the East coast it's mind boggling how big these fish are from just a Kayak near the beach. We have Summer Flounder(Fluke) which look exactly the same but the eye placement is opposite side. You could spend your entire life and might catch 1 30" fish. 38" would be a world record territory. People in NJ will literally drive hours north to Cape Cod then take a boats out 40 miles to Nantucket Shoals in order to have a shot at a 30" fish. Another interesting thing I noticed is that the amount of people recreational saltwater fishing seems really tiny on the West coast and I looked it up and the numbers are pretty staggering how different it is between the coasts. For 2018 67% of recreation boat trips are from the East coast, 29% are from the Gulf coast and 3% West coast(Alaska not included in that).
Yeah, Generaly people don't fish as much here. It's really good fishing too.
@@stevenseguro The only thing I can think of is that there is a lower population overall all with a lot less harbors and it never got as popular with locals. The entire east coast and gulf is basically barrier islands and harbors whereas in the west there is a lot of the land mountain range going straight into the ocean for a good portion of the coast.
@@vlcthefish Actually, Its an economic thing...Access is a really big deal.. Fishing on the west coast in subliminally discouraged.
All these beaches cost $20 for parking, The tickets ar $175 and up. Those cottages in the background are traded for 4 million dollars plus.
The working rich constantly experience a general unease. They can't fish.
Twenty year ago it was a little different.
Fishing is a lower middle class activity at its core.
West coast fisherman are generally extreme standouts
CA halibut come in both left and tight eyed versions. B
Come out to San Diego, Long Beach, or Redondo Beach. Just pick a beach and bring a 7” m rod and slay halibut from the surf.
Nice halibut , your excited laughter is what's it all about. Halibut is my favorite fish to catch , and top 5 to eat. I live in So Cal as well, and do a lot of spearfishing off shore for big spotfin coaker and corbina. If i'm lucky i'll bag a halibut once in awhile using my Hawaiian sling. The visibility where i fish at is usally poor, and challenging, so you always have to be ready when the school swim through those clear pockets. Great video, i like how organized you are when fishing, you make it look easier than it is.
sitting here at 2:30 in the morning scrolling on youtube and i see this come on my page, did i just put all my halibut gear into a tackle box for tomorrow? yes yes i did😂
Get em!!!!
Those are some nice flounder. 12” bigger than some of the bigger ones I catch. Monsters.
Lol them is halibut .
I know this would cost thousands to start doing in this capacity but this looks SO FUN!!
It’s my favorite for sure
gasoline alone costs thousands...
Dang that's awesome....
Hell yea! Do you have a video on how to make a fishing rig for halibut? I’m also new to this style fishing.
Pretty impressive my brother.
Awesome, subscribed. Appreciated you explaining what you were doing. Were live bait on carolina rigs? Just bought a yak off craigslist so I hope to catch my first flatty this year!
I usually have one rod rigged with a Carolina rig and one rod rigged with a 3-way swivel rig. I usually run the 3-way when I’m moving and the Carolina when I’m drifting.
Hi everyone. the video is interesting. Nice to meet you and everyone watching
Hello✋🏼
Glad to see the Ike Jime !
Damm nice one 💯👍 champ
Yee yee!
Dang good haul
Amazing
Sooo nice
@Mr. Markus what is your conventional set up?
what kind of boat is that? That looks tactical and cool asf
Nice fish! Carolina rigs look way different in California.
That's awesome. We grow their babies here in Virginia. 😆
I wanna catch one of those babies someday.
@@Mr.Markus. Use a white grub. You'll catch them all. 😆
great job dude! please do more angles from the boom angle when taking the fish up, it’s easier to see what’s going on. love the content!
Thanks man!!
@@Mr.Markus. hey is this the real mr Markus in the video ?
@@Chrissurf I don't know what that means. Are you asking if I'm me?
@@Mr.Markus. the reason I'm trying to contact you directly is because I got spammed I by someone it turns out claiming to be you trying to get my credit card on your channel to pay for shipping on prizes they say I won on your channel .....I just didn't know how to approach it.....I'm assuming it's all fake.
@@Chrissurf Yeah that was fake and definitely not me. Pretty much anytime somebody says you won something on the internet that wasn’t a contest or something that you actually entered in, it’s gonna be a scam. That stuff is all over the place. It’s absolutely ridiculous.
Next level
⬆
awesome video! what did you use to catch the mackerel and sardines? also, did you troll the live bait at the bottom or kinda just dropped them there? thanks!
Thanks. I used a sabiki to catch the live bait. And I don't remember if I was trolling the baits on the bottom or drifting with them on the bottom but both ways are very productive.
Wow, never seen somebody do so well from a Kayak. With some of the shark sightings off the coast are you converned of maybe a shark coming up to the boat to take a bite out of the halibut?
Yeah OK buddy, whatever...LMAO
I'm getting claustrophobic looking at little space in that kayak
EPIC day bro! nuthin else to say!!!
Thanks bro!! definitely a day that I'll never forget!
Wow
Just a suggestion, when you find 2 fish in a certain depth fish that depth. That is where they are feeding on that particular day.
You make those leaders
Very nice did you get them towards the end of the year?
Thanks bro. This was in August. Pretty prime month for California halibut.
Awesome vid! What’s the name of the bait container/ livewell?
It’s a bait tube that I made using a 2 foot section of 4” ABS pipe that I drilled a bunch of holes in and put drain gates on either end. It works great and is super easy and cheap to make. There’s some videos on YT I believe.
Off what beach were you catching these fish at? I’m still kinda new to ocean kayak fishing and everybody wants to be so secretive about their spots, and I have no one to show me the ropes… I just want to catch a keeper and I just keep catching little 10’’ dinks….
What is the baitcasting reel you have, I like the handle on it
It’s a seigler SG. It’s a great reel. One of my favorites for sure.
hello, I like your videos a lot, a query that kayak do you use?
Pretty sure he has a hobie outback
Yeah it a hobie outback. Little older model. It was made in 2016.
hell yeah
Which kayak do you use? I need to find one that allows you to use pedals
It's an older Hobie Outback.
Yeah a 2016 hobie outback
Nice catch for the day. Nice video. This area is La Jolla?
Thanks man. No not La Jolla.
Its Goleta Pier, California
@@BMWBADBOYM3 Thx...!
N. SB County headed to ucsb area for cali hali n lobster too...
Good
Thanks!
Question, you eat them fishes?
Great video killed the brotha
what time of the year is this if you don't mind me ?
It was early fall. Late August or early September I believe.
"Ain't got no time fo dat!" Hahaha I caught that.
Did you make that live bait well?
Yessir.
Where do you pu the live bait well
Where are you fishing?
how did you make your over-the-side bait tank?
The tube is a 2 foot section of ABS pipe that I just drilled all of the holes in for water to flow through and the ends are simple drain caps. You can get all of it at home depot or any place like that for less then $20. I’ve used it for like 6 years now too. But make sure you use ABS and not PVC for the pipe. The ABS sits horizontally in the water which keeps the baits alive. PVC will sit vertically in the water and the baits will die quickly.
Where is this place at?
What kayak are you using? I'm in the market now
Mine is an older Hobie Outback. 2016 it was made. They’ve upgraded the outback since then and the newer ones are even better.
So sick. Does anyone else think this guy has the same exact excited laugh as Ratatouille?
I’m gonna have to watch ratatouille again now.
May I ask what trebles you use?
My favorite is the Gamakatsu short shank 2x strong magic eye trebles. In size 4.
What city are you fishing out of?
It's Goleta Pier, California.
Did you end up putting the mantis shrimp in a fish tank??
No I put it in my belly…🤤
@@Mr.Markus. actually? 😂
@@Ak.Fishing_ tastes like lobster.
I have been wondering what happened to it, glad I checked these comments : )
Mantis shrimp are delicious just don't get popped by 1 it will open you up some thing nasty.but on a grill dipped in butter=heaven.
how much did your like “setup/equipment ” cost?
What do you mean by setup equipment?
Was this at La Jolla?
no
If you catch an arrow tooth flounder .. Aka turbot .. Take the fellets with skin on and you will catch halibut all day !! I catch 400# halibut in Alaska
I heard smelt was "halibut candy" but you are the first I've heard to seem to not want smelt when targeting halibut, was I duped? 😅 Just like when another fisherman told wrote to go 2-3 days after stocking day because the fish take awhile to adjust to the water 😂
Different fish in different areas have different preferences. I'm sure there's probably places where jack smelt is the best bait. Where I fish I prefer mackerel or sardines especially. They are much livelier baits which I think attracts the fish in and they also live longer once I've hooked them and put them down as bait. So that's why I like them more. And I too have heard that one about waiting for the stocked fish to adjust to the water. And then I've heard stories about guys who absolutely slayed them the same day they were stocked. Its fishing. Everyone is right and wrong all at the same time. Hahaha.
Those fish on the stringer look like prime white shark chum
Oh yeah. Gotta get them whiteys all hot and bothered!!! Hahaha.
What Kayak do you have?
It’s a 2016 hobie outback
Where you fishing up northern ca
Oh yeah! We're all watching you Pardner and punchin' the 'likes'. So, are you sporting braid or............?
Thanks!! Yeah I’m usually running 40lb braid to 40 or 50lb fluoro leaders.
You know, it's an ingenius idea, but there's some kinda body horror in being turned into a living lure. Like, with the hook on both ends like the artificial lures are.
