Wow! Talk about a bucket list trip! This is awesome!

[@grnbaylvr1]

They must be a tough fish if you gaff it in the head and then let it go. I love that

[@larrycroft4545]

It's dead 100% and what they did is highly illegal up here

[@AlaskanNomads]

That first big ling that they gaffed wasn’t the same fish they released in the next clip. They one they released was quite a bit smaller and had different markings on it.

Deserve way more subs

[@daviddevries2698]

Are those 12" twister tails???

[@Loraleggertz]

Is there no sound on this video?

[@TeamPautzke]

You are to turn your sound on. We just listened to it and it works fine.

Those yelloweye rock fish live to 150 years old. Those fish you kept were around 60-70 years old.

[@andyeighttre]

The pelagics grow so slow and that’s why they are so susceptible to over fishing. Problem plagues all rock fish.

I have land between Ketchikan and Wrangell, I have a boat, just need to finish building my cabin (on vacations) so I can submit my retirement pack to the Department of Defense….. I caught a monster halibut last time I was up there; would love to get a ling next time.

Puget Sound has them 50-60lbs but you can’t keep them. They have a slot limit or no retention period and they get huge out there

[@smiley847]

Are those Trevala rods youre using? Great vid. Love catchin lingers here in NW BC.

[@aaronskiles87]

Hey. I’m new to Washington and I live in Tacoma. I’m have a boat and am trying to get into salmon this season. Let me know if I can go out with you guys sometime to learn all the setups.

[@andyeighttre]

If you haven’t gone to all the local fishing stores, do so. Be easy to make fishing knowledgeable friends if you have a boat.

[@nativestone1577]

Did you guys use any of the fire gel products on this trip?

[@TeamPautzke]

Unfortunately, Fire Gel wasn't on the market yet.
