Using the MOST HATED FISH of All Time as Bait (And Catching Big Fish with It)
ฝัง

- If you've fished anywhere along the California coastline, you probably have encountered this fish. However, out of all the fish that swim these waters, this one seems to attract the most hate. In this vid, I turn the tables and see if it can be used as a viable bait for BIG fish. Thanks for watching!!!!

You've established the best fishing clothing fashion for the next 20 years.
We love smelts up here in Maine! We not only eat them but freeze them and use them for bait.
Smelt the west coast are filled with worms. It's good fried, but that extra protein... Is what's getting frown on.
Great video dude! That first ling was bluer than a cabazon! I really enjoy watching your channel. Ocean kayak fishing is inherently dangerous. Thank you for bringing that experience realistically and enjoyably to your channel.Please stay safe!
I think carp is one the most hated fish tbh, but I'm sure it varies from place to place, fresh water to salt water
I caught my biggest fish on carp.
Thirty years ago I used to fish from a one person inflatable in a nice lake. Three and four pound bass would pull me around. I wish I had bothered to have all the equipment you have. Nice set up. Looks like tons of fun
I wish we had those in the Puget Sound up north.Those look like good bottom fish and crab bait
Should try a treble stinger instead on the stomach next time.
You make me want to drive north to fish for lingcod 👍
Yea they got you cruising at the game just for few seconds I told my wife “Hey I know that guy well I mean I subscribe to his channel!”
Add a nice sized treble hook at tail of smelt- Might be better at hooking if hit from rear of it. Nice video once again ...finally a real use for smelt.
Cant use trebles in saltwater or streams
Hi Adam, a simple pool noodle on your rods and camera pole will keep them afloat, in case they accidentally fall in the water. I have them on anything I don’t want to leash and they work.
I thought hard-head catfish were the most hated fish, at least on the Gulf Coast. Nothing but bait-stealers, and if you hook one and they manage to stick you, that slime will mess up your entire day.
Yeah I fish tampa bay and I hate them .
Thus the reel works just like it should. I've had it and used it for some time now. It's my go to reel.
“Chief Brody’s office”🤣🤣🤣
Been a while haven't been able to get on the water so conGratz to your ultimate PB step game up and in crease quality,technique, during the winter months that's it.
Great Video!! Will you be doing anymore Catch n Cook? I need more ideas for cooking fish, please 😁
Shallow fry starch-coated smelt and toss in soy/garlic/ginger and you won't hate em anymore
Some fishermen just don’t know much but they are learning!
100% true
@Scott Williams oily/bait fish aren't popular in the US. Salmon, tilapia, trout are preferred
You might want to trying canning the smelt with use of a pressure cooker . I have done it with mackerel using pickle jars and its delicious . If you like canned fish like sardines its a treat to do it yourself if you have not done it already
Great one.!! Great Strike and Nice Fishing sharing.!! Powerful & Support..!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Smellt are yummy!..light coat of flour salt ..fry em up..so good!
They have worms in them
Lots
Smelts are actually my favorite bait for winning the pool on blue fishing trips. Every time I was able to get some before the trip I would win the pool.
See? So much for "most hated fish of all time." Everything has it's place. Too much hatred already on this planet. Don't need no more. Can I get an "Amen?!"
I use live great white
Now I see it... nice Video Dude, keep those coming and I will keep watching them..Good Job.
Those r huge smelts! They r a nice winter treat for us in Nova Scotia.
I used to go smelt dipping when I lived in Michigan and we love to eat them! It's a big thing in fall.
Excellent as always! But bro... start using that stinger. You're going to hook up so many more.
Adam, you need to help a friend out! His name is Jun and he says he has not caught a keeper ling yet! Will you please take him out and show him how to catch one? Please! Thank You!
Will do!!!!
12:55 me thinking that 2020 was going to be a good year
Smelt is not the worst..it is the bullheads(Pacific Staghorn Sculpin). I usually use them for stripers, but have caught some ling cod on them (in Capitola/Santa Cruz). Use the small ones though as I believe other fish know they have some venom in their spines.
I really enjoy your videos. Thank you
LOL! Looks a little scary fishing big fish with that small kayak!!
Your videos are the best man!!!!
Another excellent video, really thankful to find you and your crew to share so much information about fishing, cooking, living,great job, btw, smelts are delicious, crispy fried smelts made from Italians, try it, change your entire opinion of smelts.
Adam... if you have a big bait smelt then you need to have that trailer hook a "huge" treble (lings will eat it all regardless of hook size). It reminders me of Alaska fishers wanting to fill their 2 huge freezers before winter. Catch fish,,, to eat ....what ever it takes!! But if you're a semi sport fisher I accept your non-hook ups with small hooks/err. small mouth gaffs. I have looked at many of your follower's questions...and responses??
Educational and enjoyable, as always! Caught my first halibut last weekend - inspired by your vids! But using a sit-inside touring kayak, yikes, no room.
Embrace the power of the Jack Smelt. They have produced many 30 & 40+ inch halibut from the bay to the ocean.
Down south in sd, smelt are a popular bait in the bay. It's the live bait alternative to anchovies
Live perch or live kelp greenling
we use olives or yellowtail up north for ling candy
Kelpies or greenling for lingcod is like the best way to get em because they are slender enough to fit in their mouth for a hook up. Shiner perch or little sand dabs or sole work too!
I mean he should try a bigger perch like a rubber lip or barred, but shiners are definitely better for efficiency
Catch n cook smelt 🤤
Smelt? I think you mean diarrhea
I have caught a lot different species of fish off the San Diego coast line on Jack Smelt, Halibut, Ling Cod, Sand, and Calico Bass, I have also caught all the same species on live Lizard Fish.
I did the live bait fishing in Alaska and the ling cod did the same thing. Hung on for ever before having to set the hook. I let one be dragged by the boat for over a mile before deciding to set the hook. Very aggressive fish.
Smelt is a great bait I've caught multiple halibut and WSB
cool bro thanks
Are you fishing near Half Moon Bay? I can never figure out where you are.
It would have been interesting to see what that second lingcod has been eating.
Enjoyed a full-watch.
Smelt are a very good eating fish and not the most hated fish
Why don’t you use a treble stinger
*I HATE SMELT*
But hmm I might use some for halibut bait.
Or maybe cut it up use it for mackerel then use those for halibut🤔🤔🤔
With a big bait, even with an extra hook, I think you should have given some slack and let it get eaten. Then set the hook.
You mean literally what he was doing? 1:45
The most hated fish in the Midwest is definitely a round goby those are so bad and shouldn’t even be in the Midwest at all!!!!
Walleye and smallmouth fishery has improved from round gobys in north east
I've never heard this referred to as 'the most hated' fish...
I do not understand why you kayak guys don't tie floats to your cameras...
I do!
@@regularsizeruss3874 and bungies or floats to the poles and other gear
@@jc8303 Whoah! Let's not get crazy! lol I can't deal with rod leashes, trolling for BIG fish I use them but otherwise they are cumbersome.
Some day I will learn
In January, I called 50k subscribers! Ur almost there 😎
What's wrong with smelt? They obviously work as bait so what's the fuss? In florida, we hate all the fish that have super painful stings or are unusable as bait
They don’t get bit by much the only fish that will take em are the large one or the very aggressive lings. So unless you can find the big ones their uses less for bait.
Basically only halibut and lingcod eat them and lingcod will eat anything. They are easier to keep alive but almost everything likes anchovies more
Awesome catch as always bro can you do catch clean and cook love to see you do catch &cook
Live Ghost shrimp! I know you used them on the surf but kayak would be cool! Surf perch as live bait too 😀
Most hated fish is probaly carp
Also probably some of the most loved fish ie: Koi
100% carp! For me it’s Striper because I always get them as bi-catching while halibut fishing and they eat our salmon!
Do a 'fresh vs. frozen' bait challenge! Whole bait.
Why are some of the lingcod blue/green in color. I have heard a lot of different theories.
Kirk
They get stung by eating rockfish
Why is Short Round peddling now. Did Kermit the frog forget to charge his battery for the trolling motor.
Wow...so jealous right now. I watch most of you cali guys fishermanslife, ishwithfish, philosophyd, and morethanfishing. Did Jun bought his own kayak yet?
that's the best bait beside croaker which i use to catch lings at Santa cruz
Huh... I find smelt annoying in that they're frequently too big to use, but I've caught plenty of ling and halibut with them. Croakers get my most hated; they're always stealing my squid, and as much as I've heard other people catching stuff with 'em as bait, they've never rendered me a single bite.
What happened to the music intro? That was good, another great catch 👍👍👍
Smelt is tasty!
Tasty treat 👍 Also good halibut bait.
I've always caught tons of fish off of smelt!! I don't hate them haha lol
I honestly expected to see you pull a small pikeminnow out and fish with that lol
Adam, just wondering if they would hook up better if the second hook wasn't used to hook the bait but just loose and trailing?
I only hook the second one into the fin and have had good luck hooking them that way or are you giving the bait a bend to make it swim crippled!!
You always seem to do well on the Lings, I think Jun really needs that Ling this year!
I have thought about trying to let the back hook dangle but haven't tried It yet, maybe next time out I'll try it!!!
24inch perfect eater.
great video Adam!!!
We love using those for big halibut
Love the live bait videos! lol
nice hook setting! a "live wire" underwater cam would provide you some epic footage...lin cod with its tail on a rock; fins on the line vs Adam! hook set! (as a friend of a friend says to his anticipated fish catch--dats yo azz!!
That is something I want to try, hopefully soon!
@@DieHardFishing keep doing you! Awesome vids! Catch n cook on a cayak (typo on purpose!) who's first?
Where locate? Can you share the fishing spot ?
Any reason u don’t do any catch and cooks? Do u not like eating fish?
I've been a commercial fisherman for 30 plus years. Looks like your having fun. You need to get rid of some of the extra equipment. Example mark u a measurment on the side of your vessel. Just trying to help. 👍👍
What rod and reel are you using to catch ling ?
Nice limit on lings.
why does everyone hate smelt?
Are those the same fish as "star gazers"?
I get home after catching a smelt in the bay and telling my mom "nobody even uses those for bait"... Had to prove me wrong, didn't you!?!? :P
hahahahahaha
get ya some 7/0 - 8/0 hooks for the big smelts.
you're a hell of a fisherman
Nice looking and good eating Pish dude.
Come get on these river salmon it’s wide open!
How do you like that lexa?? I just bought one and I love it
Put pipe insulation or a pool noodle on your net handle. Then if you drop it it's still yours.
I ate those 2 jack smelt I thought were mackerel
What kind of reel do you have please ?
How could one possibly hate any fish? Please explain.
That’s the best eating fish
Go get some live sand crab from Jun and catch a keeper Link. Goog Idea?
Wild looking fish.
Mmm I love smelt
Great video as always 🇺🇸
Big bait, big hook
Hope you don't mind me asking is this the sf bay?
Bigger hooks for that smelt would help
ive tried as well didnt produce anything for me tho
