My BIGGEST HALIBUT EVER from a KAYAK (must watch) 

Final update: this little reel is the little engine that could ru-vid.comUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e . It performed flawlessly and was easy to adjust drag in the moment while I was battling a 35lb bat ray behemoth. Mind you, this reel is spooled with only 25 lb braid and 25 mono topshot. It's paired with the kastking telescopic heavy power rod and the two work well together. This has now earned my respect and confidence when traveling and fishing. If you have ever hooked into large rays and sharks, you know they pull extremely hard and can run forever! This thing clamped down on the fish and was easy to adjust during the fight. It has a nice decently fast retrieve as well. Twice the fish went on mad runs and I was able to gain back line quickly to avoid spooling.

It definitely feels even better after having to work for it. A well deserved monster halibut!

that's right nice and calm that's what I appreciate about watching your smooth style--not out of control and hopping out the kayak!! great stuff!!

congrats bud....nice Halibut

Donuts and perseverance! can't beat that Adam!😄

You should try the chrome sinker squid jig that catches squid when it's tough!

That donut definitely was good luck 👍

“This might be a big ol doormat!” Love it!!! Great catch bro. You are a hell of a fisherman and very modest about it. Your parents did a great job with you. Love your channel. To many more tight-lines my friend.

Awesome catch😎 you deserve it you are a passionate fisherman!! 🎣

Babe, we're eating like kings tonight! [plops tiny squid onto the table]

Excellent catch Adam! Way to grind.

AWESOME CATCH 🎣. That is a MONSTER HALIBUT. You haven’t put your safety flag on your kayak?😮. Thanks for sharing your experience and video. 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

Your catching halibut 100 yards from shore...lmfao

That was very special. Great job, Adam! 👍

So happy for you! That has to be so rewarding!!

bag of little chocolate donuts ( we call them wax donuts) nice fish!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great Catch! Hard work and patience paid off!

Where where u fishing at ? Hard to find spot to take the kayak on the ocean

That excitement for catching them squid was epic

That’s a MOBSTER f’cking Halibut!!! 🎊 🎉🥳 Nice one Adam!!😆

Way to keep pushing! I just went out here in Eastern nc this past weekend in my Hobie and took an absolute beating by the weather and wind. Ended up fishn for 6 hours and finally hooked up to a respectable sheep head and pulled the hook right at the net. The current was just to strong and the fish was using it properly. But way to stay in the game man! Great content.

What rod is that a Lamiglass? And the reel? Be good to have it under the gear list.

For such a good fisherman you have the donut thing all wrong. Try the apple fritter. not sure if it qualifies as a donut though!

Sometimes bait fishing is more fun than game fishing 😂

Lucky doughnut day 2 also? Or was this carry over luck? That's a BIG white belly.

Hell yeah man!

Hi Adam I am happy for you, and you can scream as loud as you can. Great job.

Good for you...👍🏽

Well donut sales just went up but it’s all about the BEAR CLAW ‼️🍻

Fantastic Adam! You really put the work in to catch that fish. You received your well deserved reward for your efforts. 😊

Wow!!! Great fish!!!! I hope to make my channel as successful as you’ve made yours. Great stuff!!! Keep up the awesome videos.

Beautiful job Adam! I’m so happy for you. Great job

Hi Adam, what squid rig are you using?

loving the donut content

Congrats Adam! I'm hungry now!

Massive fish

Nice one!!

That size of fish is what we target offshore in Wa . The best eating and sustainable to not take the big females that are the breeders. Great job persisting to the point of success!

I like to eat a Bavarian Crème, a Jelly Lemon filled, a Raspberry Jelly and Apple Fritter. Yep I am a big guy. but I love my pastry. I love the 48 pkg of of cinnamon rolls at Sam’s Club. Dude! Warm them in the microwave. I don’t need a woman.

Do you always use downriger for halibut or salmon/kokanee fishing?

Hell ya. Nice fish. You need yourself a nice gaff. Luckily I can build you a custom one. I’m in Santa Cruz. Reach out. Ron Gulling

This guy is great! He’s like a real life muppet! With a kayak and fishing poles..

Studly! 4+ hrs. On a Kayak 🌊 in SF's Pacific Ocean.. isn't passive! Tough guy $hit🎣

Try smaller octopus 🐙 and lizard fish for the bigger halibut. The way I found out they like lizard fish is I caught a52 lb halibut and it's stomach was full of them 😊

Is that a Daiwa Lexa? I just got a 400HD looking to pair it with a rod to try for halibut in the spring. What do you recommend Adam?

Theres only One God and His Son Lord Jesus Christ. Book of John 3:16

Thank you so much for your videos! I had a misfortune, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I also created a channel and am trying to move in that direction, but so far not very successful((yo

The Bay Area future GOAT. This is my 3rd time watchin this video. Epic! Hey do u remember how warm the water was?

Crazy that this is a big one but they were thrown away in droves and were 5-700lbs!

Do you ever worry about a shark or something coming up and attacking your stringer fish? I always wondered that it may sound like a dumb question haha

Well done sir! I felt the relief when you sunk the gaff in. What time is dinner?

That's my front yard....good on you! I should be out there with you Adam. Damn near see my street from there.

They might open the tumbler again on Alaska's Encinitas in Santa Monica but the literal to work is rough how's up north

That was a awesome catch. I just couldn’t do that in a kayak like that for one the waves and l’ve been around boater that come to close always which bring bad name to boating. Where was this about?

YOU TALK ABOUT THESE GREAT PLACES YOUR FISHING BUT NEVER TELL US WHERE!! WHY NOT DUDE???

Two Roads? You might be on that rock field but it looks like you are little inside. Nice Fish!

First of all that was a French curler but I know what you mean we would go to jacks doughnuts and everyone would ask no what should I get and I'd tell em get whatever would look the best on the deck when you hurl 😮

Chocolate old fashioned donuts 4evuh! Congrats! 🍩

NICE 🎣

Adam you deserve it 😊

Congratulations! Door mat for sure! Thanks for the entertainment!

Super nice catch Adam! Glad to see you back in action with the halibut, now you just need to go get a PB Ling!

That thing is huge!!

Nice job!

Nice~~~~~~ Adam where is nick? No pink rod anymore??? 😂

big fish like smelt, from inland sturgeon and even huge brown trout, to all the things in the ocean.

You are a very brave young man out on the ocean in a kayak! I'm on the East coast and wouldn't go on the rivers around here because of the alligators. I guess I'm a chicken!

Good job thank you for you sharing your fishing videos

Long Dong Silver and John Holmes combined aint got nuttin on your dangling 40 incher.

Badda bing badda boom huge halibut! Kayak caught 🌊 impressive 🏁

That is a monster Halibut! Great job, This is why I love watching your videos!

Would you mind sharing what rod and reel you're using?

Now thats a doormat!! 😂🎉 🎣

Fishing my neck of the woods I see. Nice catch bortha 🤙

Stan's Donuts in Santa Clara, California rated as one of the best in the US

Ima need some of those good luck donuts brah, what's the shop? lol

Fist it baby!!!! 👊Congrats my guy!!! 👏 🔥

Boom!

Monster dude. Good job.

Teeth like a Pirahna! Watch those fingers!!

Man I was so happy for you, such a Great fish and you deserve it!

Nice one!! You could do voiceovers for Ray Romano.

agreed old fashion buttermilk

I'm up in Alaska so that's pretty average here but very nice! How big do they get in your area?

Why don’t you have a flag on a 5’ pole on the back of your yak??

Must be a big door to have that sized mat! If you’re going to cry out to God so much, cry out to the Lord Jesus. He died for our sins, and holds all the Creation in his hands- Colossians 1:17.

Fuck yeah...hey I graduated military 🪖 all patches accomplished nothing and then got called through depts to church basis military salvation army and a lot Asia's church's for donations economics

Congratulations for getting the big door mat

I have to throw in Apple fritter. You’ve got to try it.
