SPEAR & COOK LINGCOD: How to Freedive-Spearfish Vid 18
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ต.ค. 2024
- In this video I use my new Evolve pole spear to hunt lingcod in the Bay Area CA while freediving. I teach you tricks to rig up your pole spear, where to find lingcod and how to hunt them and discuss the advantages of this type of pole spear for bigger fish. I also find dozens of fishing weights and we find a clam, crab and crazy alien-like parasites on the lingcod. The fish also had BLUE MEAT and and octopus in its stomach! Finally I show you how to clean this fish and cook it with plantains and an incredible mango salsa outdoors on a camp stove.

Not sure of the dive location but it was good to see that amount of kelp and the abalone. Also enjoyed seeing a number of sea stars and fewer urchins. Fingers crossed for and ab season in 2026..
It is a nice healthy reef! Unfortunately Sonoma all the way to the Oregon boarder is a different story. Those sea urchins are out of control up there. Thanks for watching!
Keep doing what you do. Im Always waiting every week for your new contents. They are so very educational.
It's these kind of comments that keep me inspired to do so! Thanks for watching and for the support!
I live in New Jersey, and I used to live in both Southern and Northern California, and I miss the rocky coastline. Thank you for reminding me of the natural beauty of that habitat and how to use it in a sustainable manner. God bless you.
Thanks for watching! I hear there is some solid striped bass spearfishing out your way!
Excited to see your next episode with Mayowa!!!!
Incredible aim doc! Thank you for sharing you knowledge with the world. "Keep the old ways alive"
In northern California the sea trout can also have greenish / blue meat, and it also turns white when cooked.
Yep!
Love your vids doc!! Can you please send ingredients of that mango salad. Thank you! Can’t wait for your next vid.
Thank you! Its a very simple mix of mango, avocado, white onion, cilantro, lime, finely diced serrano pepper, chili powder and salt to taste. All measurements are just to taste. Hope you like it!
@@catchncookcalifornia1574 thank you very much!
Interesting fish the link as well the cabezón… never have seen one at live as I am on the east coast and only what I know is what I see in your videos. Thank you for sharing your adventure 🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Another awesome vid Doc! I have been following you since the very beginning. I can watch you all day. I live in NYC and after a long stressful day from work, I grab a beer and rewatch your old vids and I can feel my stress just go away. I would love to sign up for your class.
Thanks so much for the continued support and kind words! Have you tried spearfishing on the East Coast? There's some solid opportunities out there!
@@catchncookcalifornia1574 Yep we do. But the amount of boat traffic in my area, and so many accidents happening every year, I'll just stick to my rod and reel.
I have that exact polespear and I love it. I hunt in SoCal and use both the flipper tip and their three prong. I personally love the three prong by evolve especially around the rocks
Aloha. Nice video, nice dish. Used to live in Florida, plantains all the time.
Finally another spearfishing show. Freshwater season started yesterday
Thanks for the reminder!
Freshwater spearfishing would be good for us living in landlocked states
I did my first ever free dive yesterday in blackbutte lake. 4.6 meters 56 seconds. Visibility was 4’ and I haven’t figured out how to keep my mask from fogging up yet.
I also use the Evolve CT- but I think I have an 8'. Kinda crazy, but I take halibut with that spear. Works like a charm.
Nice! Its been on my list!
@@catchncookcalifornia1574 If you SCUBA dive, come to Monterey. I'll dive with you!
I been bit by one of those parasites when I was in grade school, took a small chunk off my finger when I was cooling my hands in the shallows. They for sure will hurt you. Love the channel, keep it up!
Dang! That's crazy!
Looking at it again, I think I got the wrong critter. The ones that bit me are common along the rocky shorelines of San Francisco and San Pablo Bay. They make quick work of dead fish that wash up onto shore. When we bleed fish and leave in the water, a bunch of the ones that bit me will start to feed on the fish.
Nice pole spear thanks ! I might have to get this one

In the 1980's I had a friend who's family was from the Azores. His parents had a commercial license and fished out of HalfMoon bay in a 22 ft . boat. When they got back to San Jose they would give me 1 Albacore and 1 Ling cod. 20 to 30 lbs. each. Really nice fish. I dont enjoy fish so I would process them and gift to familey and friends. I was the most popular guy around . Lololololo
Great video Kevin! I really want to do a spearfishing trip with you, but damn, you are under for a long time!
Thanks! Just remember that beginner level spearfishing is what I mostly guide which means we will work the shallows and you dive as deep or as shallow and as long or as short as you feel comfortable. I can confidently say that, as you get acclimated, we will likely double your current breath hold though.
You always eat great food 🔥
Great video man! That looked tasty! 🐟🔥🔥🔥.
Impressive for sure
Nice shot on that lingcod!
Thanks!
Lings are truly delicious cool video
When you do the dive light review could you show where/how you like to attach it to yourself? I just bought a new Orca torch and lost it on the first dive last weekend because I only used the cinch tab around my wrist - the long leash makes it a bit awkward to find a good spot. I didn't notice it was gone until I got back in the boat. Expensive lesson for me to learn (~$100) : /
Brad, will do! Sorry that happened! The only modifications that I recommend for this light is switching that leash for bungie material and making that lanyard shorter.
Gorgeous just gorgeous
awesome video how do you tel the difference of a cabison and a ling cod .when is you next mushroom vid I am really enjoying that series . thank for the internment .
Cabs have no scales and fine teeth. They also have huge fleshy pectoral fins and small flaps over their eyes. Mushroom season has ended on the coast so I will not likely drop another mushroom vid for a while unless I hit the Sierra snow melt. Thanks for watching!
@@catchncookcalifornia1574 thank you
Hawaiian Hammahs sent me here I guess. Also an Evolve diver. Shoots
Welcome! Thanks for checking out the channel!
Yee, I've been looking forward to lingcod ever since I heard it tastes similar to lobster.🧜🏼♂️
nice!!
Is this better dish or the mien sauce pepper dip on your last episode? Lol
Oh, I think the Mien pepper due to its versatility! But this is a nice one for a hot day when one wants something other than fish and chips or tacos that is for sure!
Waiting for new video.
My brother, plantains are wonderful…. We call sweet plantain “maduros” and fried smashed plantain “tostones”
Our African brothers and sisters make very good plantain out there,
I’m from Ecuador, try tostones my friend
Cut the plantains into 3/4 inch pieces horizontally and fry them till getting brown
Take them out and smash them down smoothly and re fry them…
Salt to your liking…
With ceviche and fish my friend it’s my favorite ever
Come summertime I’m eating ceviche and plantain a lot !
That sounds delicious!!!!!
@@catchncookcalifornia1574 it certainly is! Forgot to mention tostones have to be done with un ripe or a firm ripe plantain, or else it’ll be too mushy and sweet we usually just do em diagonal cut and those become maduros
I can’t express how happy I am that you’re in the fishing/youtube community. I’ve been thoroughly inspired by guys like you and greatly desire to learn how to free dive and spearfish. I will hopefully be doing a PADI basic class as soon as I can and/or finding someone to take me out.
I might throw you an email about your guide service but I am in San Diego…
Cheers brotha, stay blessed 🤙🏽
Cool video, but that parasite made me squirmish 😅 beauty of a fish though
Lol me too! Make that thing 1000 times larger and you have a perfect horror film alien monster.
Are there any tools or devices that one can use to protect* against sharks 🦈 ?
There is a device that some people wear called a "shark shield" that supposedly makes them avoid you.
You are winding your teflon tape backwards. wind withe thread tighting pattern. Otherwise will back out the tape. Parasite or saprolite ??
Good tip!
Cool thing abt the parasites is the big ones are female. The males are almost microscopic and live in there too.
I love that you think that is cool lol. Man they creep me out. Thanks for watching!
did you hear about the morel mushrooms eaten raw in montana and 1 lady died. 60 ill
I did not hear that but have heard similar stories from here in CA. Crazy how such a delicious mushroom can also be toxic if not cooked properly!
No reviews make a different ch for that will unsubb asap! Actually let me save you the trouble I’m out can’t stand reviews
Goodbye
I enjoyed the review. I saw Kevin at the beach recently and told him about losing my ling I had shot with my 3 prong. If only I had a flopper on my spear!
