Glad I'm going back to watch this series again. Somehow, I missed this one. I caught a rat fish decades ago when I was stationed at Whidbey Island. Ugliest fish I'd ever seen out of water. I took out the hook and released it. Your videos of them in the water makes them look beautiful. Learned more about them in this video than I ever knew. Very cool!
Captain, I'm so glad you're doing well! Your channel gave me the fly fishing bug nearly a decade ago. I love your stuff, especially Cast Northwest. A few years ago I bought one of your Skeena Supreme Blue Steel rods and it has served me well fishing for salmon and steelhead here in Michigan. Glad to see you are doing well and still working to educate people about the wonders of our natural world. Excited to watch this new program. All the best from Michigan. -Aaron
I hooked something just off Norris Rocks in the early 70s that was unstoppable, I thought possibly a halibut but now I think it may have been a six gill shark, I guess we’ll never know
You remember the ones that got away much more than the ones you landed, hey? I've hooked beasties that pulled like hell that I never saw before being broke off. I remember each one pretty distinctly. Keeps ya up at night, doesn't it?
I caught a blue shark halibut fishing 2 miles off the west side of Vancouver island - quite the fight and a surprise! Its crazy how much salmon shark can resemble great whites too!
@@TheCaptainQuinn Definitely lil baby white! only been able to see a handful of salmon sharks alive or dead, even got to eat one once. Such a cool animal! Blue sharks can be a nuisance fishing, we might run into a dozen plus a day by August, but they are cool too. Lots of respect for sharks of any size and try not to kill them.
