Kayak Fishing With Whales On Vancouver Island!
What an incredible day of Kayak Fishing off the West Coast of Vancouver Island! 🥰
We started the morning off trolling for Salmon, and were soon greeted by a friendly giant who was searching for his breakfast!
Anytime we get the chance to see whales while Kayak Fishing, we hope to be able to get them on video, this one got up close and personal! 😁

Great Fish Well Done!!
@@GillsNReelsFishing thank you! 🙌🙌
What is the name of those red fishing nets you use ? Are they rubber and heavy duty ??!!! They look great!! Let me know please !!
@zackrepo97 we use the Gibbs GV series nets, rubber coated nets but pretty sure they have a full rubber option as well. Extremely heavy duty, the nets came with a 48" handle and we ended up cutting around 6 inches off which works perfect for us! Highly recommend them for kayak fishing! Thanks for watching! 🙌
Moved to port hardy about five months ago and couldn’t afford a boat so been out in my pontoon boat everywhere including out past port Alice and north north end of the island loving it so much. People always think I’m insane being so far out on it but I say it’s too much fun not too and the fishing has been amazing. Love your videos and if you guys are ever up this way let me know
@427max thank you! We were originally shopping for a boat a few years ago, then stumbled across kayak fishing on TH-cam. The rest is history! A lot of people can't wrap their heads around this being a choice for us to fish this way, if they could experience catching fish the way we do, they would know where the obsession for this sport comes from! We're definitely planning on fishing the north island in the future! Appreciate your support, and thanks for watching! 🙌🙌
@@kckayakfishing I caught my biggest lingcod last weekend at 16lbs and it was amazing on the pontoon boat
@@427max I bet! That would be a fun fight from any boat! Even more so from a pontoon! 🙌🙌
@@kckayakfishing I have a TH-cam short of it at the surface, I haven’t figured out how to include pictures as well yet
Great video. as to overcome adversity of downright challenges. Noticed your net set up. What gear is the net clipped into on the side?
@grantbrown5312 thank you! There's never a shortage of challenges when it comes to kayak fishing! Hahaha a.co/d/8TCOqz1 Here's a link to our net holder, it's made for paddles but fits our net handles and gaff handles perfectly, we angle them a bit so the bag of the net sits on the bow of our Kayaks, so far it's been a great place to store them. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful place you have there to fish! Great job 👏
@@Steady_Stick thank you! We are extremely blessed to be able to call this place home! Thanks for watching! 🙌🫶
Whales!? Ya no lol what kinda whales this time?! And bro that's not how you catch a wife! 😂 🫶🏻🎣🚣♂️🤙🏻
@@BlueWilderness239 😂😂😂 she wasn't going anywhere! We think it was a Minke whale or possibly a young humpback, hard to say for sure as they like pretty similar! 🙌🙌
@@kckayakfishing that's still cool AF! Close enough to film under kayak?
@BlueWilderness239 possibly, next time I'll put out the go pro and give it a shot, the visibility isn't the greatest in our waters but would be so cool to get it on film underwater!
Love this action packed video! ❤

Hi. Propane bottles should not be stored in garage. Safety First
You're definitely right
Hi. The West Coast spoons you are using , what series of the spoons are working best for you and which ones out of that series ? Thank you
@louiseschricker9963 we use a combination of Phat-E spoons, little phat E spoons, Fish-E spoons, and the new Sex-E spoons. The patterns we primarily use for our fishing are No Bananas, Herring Aid, Irish Cream, and Blue Silver, we're always trying to match the baitfish in the water so early season the smaller Sex-E and Little Phat-Es are our Go To. As the bait gets bigger and the Salmon start feeding more aggressively, we usually go with bigger spoons, always trying to match what they're feeding on.
Awesome video as usual! Really hope to try Vancouver arwa sometime (I'm in Northern Washington). Crystal, what phonecaee/attachment do you have? Thanks!
@FamilyNick a.co/d/fT3tZuG a.co/d/cDK3YeS We use this setup to keep our phones secured to us while out on the kayaks, over 2 years and never an issue! Thanks for watching!
@kckayakfishing thank you!
@@FamilyNick 🙌🙌
👏👏👏
🙌🙌🤘
That seems very hard to unscrew . I would definitely check the threads and use marine grease on reassembly
Ya it takes a decent amount of effort to get the stock Pedals off, especially with the Salt build up, but now the new Pedals are no problem, especially after some grease! Thanks for watching!
I fish from a Hobie Outback and when I hook one I turn the bow into the fish so it is effectively pulling me along. Tires the fish out quicker. I just find that fighting a big salmon from the side is awkward. As the fish tires and comes to the surface I slide up beside it look to see if it's a keeper and can release easily.
@thegreatvantastic5689 whatever works for ya! We've tried both ways, not sure why, but we both prefer having the fish behind us as far away from the Kayaks as possible until they're worn out. Also too having the fish behind us makes for a better video, in our opinion of course! Thanks for watching! 🙌
Wow, great video you guys….love watching your trials and tribulations in your boats…..if ya don’t do it, ya won’t do it….keeping on keeping on….❤️👍👍🎣🎣🙏
Thank you! And thanks for watching! 🙌🙌
Thank you for the great video! I'm new to kayak fishing - can I ask what rod/reels and what lures you are using? I've just been jigging bottom with an old mooching rod and reel and a 4oz lure but would love to try new techniques. Thanks!
Thank you! For our Lingcod rods, we use West Coast Fishing Tackles Medium Heavy Pacific Jigging Series rod, super light yet powerful enough to bring in some huge fish! Our reels are Piscifun Alijoz 400's, for lures we primarily use West Coast Fishing Tackles 10oz swimbaits, or drift herring on a bait rig and 10oz sinker. For Rockfish and Salmon Jigging, we use the West Coast Fishing Tackle Light Action spinning rod, with a Daiwa BG 4500 spinning reel, and an Okuma Azores 4000h spinning reel, with these rods we are primarily using 2.7-4oz flat fall jigs, but they'll handle a 10oz swimbait as well no problem! Last but not least, for Salmon trolling, we use Shimano Trevalas rods, 7' Medium Light, with Piscifun Alijoz 300's, we've tried lots of rods and reels and so far these are the winners! Thanks for watching! 🙌🙌
@kckayakfishing thank you!
@@alcoral anytime! 🙌🙌
Loved it
@@ChasingtheKraken thanks for watching! 🙌🙌
Waterproof socks....nice
@motodemon-qn9wx backcountry skinz for the win! 🙌🙌
Thought for sure you were going in with that net😂
@AndrewBlazeSmith 😂😂😂 was 🤏 that close! At least then I maybe could have swam down and grabbed all the gear I lost! 😆😆😆 thanks for watchin brah! 🙌
Ever have probs with seals or sea lions?.. I been looking at Kayaks and my brother has had sea lions follow the fish right up to the Kayak.. Also, do you think outriggers may help to stop a Kayak from ever tipping?..
@marcThespazz haven't had any issues yet, other than the sealions scaring all the fish away! 🤣🤣 normally if we see them around we try and fish away from them, nothing worse than reeling in a Salmon head with no body cause a sealion got it! Outriggers would definitely help with stability, not sure if they'd stop you from flipping though, we've never used them so can't say for sure. Thanks for watching! 🙌
Great video guys. Look forward to the next episodes!
@canadianhuntnfish thanks man! Lots more on the way! Thanks for watching! 🙌🙌
love it

Nice video and I wanna kno what to wear in cold
For cooler temperatures, we wear drysuits with Carhartt baselayers. We use an NRS drysuit for Crystal and a Mustang Survival drysuit for myself, both we've been extremely happy with.
Nice video
Thanks for watching! 🙌
Thank you two!
Thanks for watching! 🙌🙌
What kind of kayak are those?
Old town sportsman PDL 120's 🙌🙌
Grease the screws - corrosion x or some salt water type of grease - also very important to use that type of grease on your prop sheer pin - they have a lot of exposure, especially in salt and corrode very easily - if it goes while you are out, you are in trouble with no prop! Carry a few extra “sheer pins” - you can find some old drills in the right diameter and cut them for cheap replacements. Have fished my Predator PDL hard now for 7 plus years - salt and fresh. Grease the scupper hole fish finder mount hardware! All of it - it will corrode if not
@Charactermatters650 💯% all of our screws and parts get coated with corrosion inhibitor twice a year, we each carry 5 extra sheer pins in our drives as well as two extra props each because you never know! Paddling these beasts home would be a nightmare! Thanks for watching! 🙌🙌
That boat looks well outfitted and expensive. I like fishing and kayaking but combining the two seems challenging...but where I am there are no sharks or whales. Good😅
Kudos to those offering you advice/help! LOL. They don't know who you are. I just did not get the event cause. Was it a fish on? The pole dipped. Or was it the swell surprised you? 😅
@chuckwoodward7440 I was pushing myself forward off of the seat and ended up losing my grip on the at the same time a smaller swell hit which threw me back in the seat. I was trying to get myself un snagged from a nasty reef and didn't have my net strapped in. The line wrapped around the net handle and knocked it loose. One thing after another! 😂😂😂
Amazing!! Congratulations on this entire organization....
Thank you! 🙌🙌
Pool noodle will save you from the heart attack!!!
@nickfranklin396 💯%! No idea why I haven't done that yet! 🤣🤣
Honestly being that close to a whale is pretty good but did you see that well take out that boat
@stevevitt7721 that was the first thing that popped into my head after seeing it! 😂😂😂
Hey man. Legitimate question. I’m a bigger guy as well. what kayak is that and how much do you weigh?
@@AdamBettinelli old town sportsman pdl 120, I'm 6'4 and 290lbs. 🙌
@@kckayakfishing thanks man. I’m 6’3, 315 and looking to get into kayak fishing. Losing some weight currently for it to be more comfortable but was definitely leaning towards the old town!
@AdamBettinelli the Sportsman pdl 120 would be a great option, I'm currently in the weight loss process as well, so I've been very picky about what gear I bring out with me, stopped carrying a crate and went with a horizontal rod storage from yak gadget. I find that the more storage I have, the more gear I end up bringing that I don't even use 😆 will be moving up to the autopilot 136 next season, but have been extremely happy with the 120. 🙌
I am 6'2” 300# and bump into stuff accidentally all the time. Whale: "Im 98' and 200 tons!" 😂
@@carlsutherland3730 😆😆😆
Ya that's beautiful but scary AF!! We have manatees here and they are cool but will flip you over quick!
I was just about to drop my downrigger down and start trolling, glad I didn't cause that would have been a mess! 😂😂😂
Close one! Hahaha
@@southwestindianaoutdooradv4714 the old ticker definitely skipped a few beats! 😆😆😆
Wow❤❤❤
🙌🙌🙌
Might be worth it to do a test wipeout in a pool to see how hard it is to get yourself back together. Stay safe out there.
@juniussara9517 always a good idea to practice re-entering a kayak! We've practiced quite a few times in the lakes, we'd lose a bunch of gear if we flipped, but at least we'd be able to climb back in! 🙌🙌
Get a pool noodle on that net asap !
Actually not sure why I haven't done that yet! 😂😂
Dude you gotta get the Bassdash UV shirt with the integrated buff. I hate sunscreen on my face and I never put it on when I'm wearing that thing, a hat and some sunglasses.
@jackofallfishing I have a couple of those UV shirts, they're great! But I do find them a bit heavier than the Columbia PFG or Under Armour UV shirts, first world problems! 😆
The worst thing about so much sunscreen is when u sweat and it goes into your eyes 😂👀 I don't wear hats, so I use sunscreen 😂 and I hate when that happens, lol
