Halibut Fishing w/ SNAP GEAR

At last somebody finally gets it. We also have short soaks and hooks are not left overnight to continue to target halibut and lingcod and avoid the night time dwellers. We have a set quota and a very short window (hours) to fish once a year. All to keep healthy stocks for future generations. Thank you for your comment and support. Tight Lines.

@Yakventures You bet!

Awesome. This short clip must bring back good memories.

@Yakventures yes it does. Only difference was ours was under the boat, didn't even see him until the snap was at the rail, BIG surprise instead of a Black Cod.

@Yakventures where were you fishing? Alaska?

Oregon

He said ‘85.. I was -2

Pretty dern efficient when it comes to rebaiting and setting back. Got a full video in the editing room.

Same here.

They are a global northern hemisphere cold water dwelling fish. Excellent.

It’s pretty fascinating to say the least. The captain is running the boat from that position as well. The throttle and steering as well as controlling the drum or reel. There’s a lot going on right here plus he put us on the fish. Thanks for your comment and support of channel.

It flat left the planet….😜

Excellent. Thank you for your support and another person with a level head on their shoulders. Thank you for your support. Full video in the works on out snap gear longline trip. Be watching for it.

😂

That’s an excellent idea. I’ll tell the captain that one.

@Yakventures I have a bunch of videos if you want to see it in action

All very good sustainable fish to harvest. Appreciate your support and comments.

We enjoy what we do but as you know there’s 24 hours in a day and we try to work all them during derby fisheries or thereabouts. Sleep isn’t an option sometimes but you learn to appreciate the 3-6 hours you get in a 24.

Fishing is hard work. And the big paydays. Everybody has a hand out wanting it.

@Steven Lawson your right. Thank you for your comment and support. Tight lines.

That should be a t shirt saying. No tail no scale 😁

​@Yakventuresкогда в России идёшь на промысел за рыбой то не желают удачи или хорошего улова) так как боятся спугнуть удачу! Плохая примета))) Поэтому желают не чешуи ни хвоста😉

In Alaska a chicken for us was under 30 pounds or so. We fished Kodiak and off Deep Creek.

I spent 4 years out on Adak. My best was 247. No barn door, for sure, but FUN!

Military?

8404 Corpsman. Went from Adak to 2d Marines for Gulf Storm. Retired out of Camp Lejune.

I thank you and applaud you Scott for your service to our country. Thank you sir!

Cute and delicious. Some restaurant served it up across the country. Appreciate your comment. Tight Lines.

We enjoyed the trip. We wash off all blood on deck to reduce boat cleanup on way in and at dock. We have a motto “ clean boat means happy cappy (Captain)

Here in the USA we call that line or method a trot line. Used a bunch in the southern states. What we are doing here is called longline fishing. Thank you for your comment and support of channel.

Keep watching. Appreciate your comment

I believe we are using some kind of extra tough hose cut in 6 inch lengths. It’s a genius idea and I’ve never seen it split or break on a fish but seen the circle unwind on a circle hook. Tight lines.

Im on my way right now to the biggest n best hose supplier I know of and will source sumthing. Will be rigging the gear tonite and as tomorrow is Saturday will be fishing in the afternoon.

Thank you

Палтус?

You tell them. We also only soak over gear a short time and not overnight to avoid unwanted catch. There’s only so much daylight in the day and we have to set and retrieve it all back on the boat before the sun goes down and rebait everything for the next day. So many angles and rules to think about and to keep our fish populations healthy and sustainable for future generations.

Snap gear. It’s snapped onto the longline with the snap

Yes it’s a typical long line fish. They tried pot fishing them in Alaska but they are not a schooling fish. Lots of hooks and cover lots of underwater topography. Thank you for your comment and support of channel.

You can. They always need folks. Chase your dream. Thank you for your support and comment.

We had a good trip and caught lots of halibut and lingcod. Thank you for the nice comment and channel support. Have a great day.

Nice catchI

@Aulia Oktaviani thank you. Appreciate your feedback and comment as well as support for this channel. Have a great day.

The trip did pay the expenses and the wages of the crew. It was successful. Tune in for the full video to see a highly motivated crew and great Captain catch some halibut. Thanks for your comment and support of channel. Have a great day.

That’s great. Probably a Californian halibut but possibly a pacific halibut like we were catching. Good job.

I took vacation time for the Halibut 😆😆

It’s not sport fishing it’s commercial fishing. Harvesting food to feed folks. Thanks for your comments and support of channel.

If your saying what I think you are I’d have to agree. Feels like a keren or Karen JUNGLE… but hey each to their own I guess. I love seafood and I’m glad there’s plenty of other folks that love and buy it to feed themselves and others.

Ah not so my friend. Cannot judge the catch by a one minute clip. This isn’t like sport fishing. There is a method to covering ground to find the fish. It’s called fishing. There was lots of tasty halibut to be served up in restaurants all across the world from this 72 hour window of opportunity to provide sustainable seafood to fish eating folks. Thank you for your comment and support of this channel. Tight lines and have a blessed day.

Sounds like a great catch!

What are the names of these instruments?

Excellent question. Thanks for asking. This video’s views are off the charts and I’m getting some negative comments. Very much appreciate good questions and interactions with my audience. These are commercial snaps and they pinch the line in two separate areas causing it to bind and not slide. Full video coming this winter. It’s a fascinating process. Stay tuned. Thanks for your support

I bet you did buy it was probably a Halibut.

Don’t mean for it to come across as brutal. Appreciate your comment and opinion. Have a great day.

Nudder keyboard warrior….

Red hose between snap and hook. No tangles and fish bite them.

@Yakventures oh, okay. Never seen that. We used the longer gagnions so the fish doesn't come up out of the water and risk of losing fish when the rope comes up out of the water.

Glass half empty or half full

Thanks for your support of channel and comment.

Snap gear best for our operation.

Have a blessed day.

Absolutely. We also make sure we only put out what we can get back in before the sun goes down and the food chain below the surface changes from day shift to night shift. Hey thanks for a positive comment and support of channel.

Glad you enjoyed it. I hope folks can really appreciate the full video coming out and seeing all the hard work that went into catching our allotted quota. Have a wonderful day and keep the comments coming for future uploads.

Never looked at it like that. We are the top of the food chain. Appreciate your comment.

Pacific Ocean. Thanks for your comment and support of channel.

Roger that

The flatfish are some of my favorite

No tangles and easy to rebait for next days set. Full video coming.

Me too. You never stop learning.

Circle hooks

You get four fillets off a halibut. Thank goodness we were not fishing for polluck. Want to talk about a small fish. Thank you for your comment and support of channel.

We have plenty of fish to have an open access fishery every year and still lots left over for sports fisherman as well. Great fishery here in the Pacific Northwest. Thanks for your comment.

Enough to pull a truck off the bottom of the ocean if need be 😆

Appreciate the nice comment. Thanks

The translation is lost between cultures. I still thank you for your comment and support of channel.

Thank you

So glad to hear that. You good folks love your seafood and I say that in a nice supportive way. I believe part of our crab market goes overseas as well. My favorite food is seafood as well. Tight lines and have a blessed day.

That would be a sad day if we had an empty ocean. That may be the case in certain parts of the world but at least here in Oregon the government has done a good job in regulating the ocean fisheries to continue a sustainable harvest. Thanks for the comment and support of channel. Have a great day.

Very good trip. We were not targeting schooling smaller fish. Can’t judge a longline set by the empty hooks. Theres a strategy here. Thanks for your comment.

Very fun trip with lots of fishing action. Thanks for your comment I appreciate the nice feedback.

Oregon commercial season opener. Calm water it was. Not like our winter crabbing with green water over the rail.

Red is a fish catching color.

Your right. Hey thanks for your comments and channel support.

😁🤪😁

Greetings from this side of the world. Seafood is hard to beat. It’s my favorite food to eat.

I like also seafoods)

Once I realized how we we’re targeting a select age class halibut and not the smaller halibut that tend to travel together I realized and appreciated the fishing style we chose. In the end it didn’t matter how many empty hooks we had but how we filled up the fishhold with lots of premium halibut. Appreciate your comment and opinion. Have a great day.

Soak too long? Short soaks. Have to get all the gear out of water before dark every day plus rebait everything for next days set.

Work always produces an outcome. In our case the juice was worth the squeeze. Vegan is another good healthy option as well. Appreciate your comment. Have a great day.

Im assuming you guys? We got our allowable quota.

It’s a good system. Thanks for your support of the channel and comments. Have a blessed day.

There are job opportunities out there if you chase your dreams or desires. It was a great trip and I truly enjoy our ocean and all the seafood it provides to around the world. Thank you for your comment. Have a great day and I hope you get the chance to try commercial fishing.

Matthew 5:16 Let your light shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Thank you for your comment and support. Tight lines.

Sorry to hear that. Thanks for watching

Exactly what it’s like. Lay it out and reel it back it

Almost…Appreciate the comment. Have a great day.

With continued proper management we have viable populations of fish and crab to continue to harvest here in the Pacific Northwest. Appreciate your comment and opinion.

Thank you.

Maybe so. I for one believe we have entered the end times that is prophesied in the Bible. Earthquakes, rumors of war, one world order, etc… Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved. Have a blessed day.

Fed somebody that’s for sure.

Snaps. Snap gear.

You got that right. Halibut is delicious. Thank you for your nice comment. This helps my channel and I appreciate all the positive comments as I try and respond back to everyone. Have a blessed day.

Great trip. Thank you for your comment

It’s is. I believe we got 72 hour opening this year. Thanks for your comment and support of Channel.

That would be a sad day. Lucky for us our fish populations are managed for sustainable harvest and we have plenty of fish to feed the world.

I’ve said that one before. Thanks for the kind positive comment and support of channel

Long line snaps from Englund Marine here in Oregon, USA. englundmarine.com

Thank you.

Thank you. Appreciate your comment. Have a great day.

I sure hope not. Still plenty to go around here.

It’s always a party when we are haulin gear 😁

Hey Scobby how bow bow wow. 😁 thanks for your comments and support and remember tight lines.

I know nothing about sewing a dress. If I watched someone sewing a dress I wouldn’t offer any advice or comments, especially if I only got to watch them sew the dress for 60 seconds when in fact it took 72 hours to complete the dress. Hide behind your keyboard and dress….

Appreciate your comment and opinion. In all fairness we wouldn’t be allowed a season if it was overfished. There was plenty of fish caught for the trip. Tune in to see us load the boat in the full video.

@Yakventures good to know it ain’t like it was 15 years ago though and understand it’s your job I’m sure even though you still catch fish the quality and quantity have declined

There’s lots of variables that influence fish stocks and fish populations. They also have tails and don’t read the same scientific journals that the folks study up on to manage the fish sticks….meant to say type stocks but sticks is actually more fitting. Thanks for the open dialogue. ( I go out on the sea taking my vacation time to work out there with the crew and captain and I love it out there that much. The fast pace and teamwork is good for my heart.)

Lots of good fishing gear and fishing methods come out of Japan. We are fishing out of Oregon on the Pacific Ocean. Thank you for your support and comment.

@Yakventures I mean, because of the release of radioactive water from Japan, monster fish is being caught

Wow. Didn’t realize that.

You’d of have to of been there to fully understand the operation and excitement. It’s was a grand trip. Thanks for your support of the channel.

Appreciate your comments. Thank you for your support

That’s also a flatfish. Sole or Dover sole, Petrale, flounder, and this one here is a Halibut. Very good eating white flaky fleshed fish. Thanks for comment and support of channel.

Thank you

Clear and loud

Teen halibut

😁😁

Yee haw 🤠
