- In this episode of Field Trips: West Coast, I've made it to Oregon to fish the Columbia River for Chinook salmon, but I bite off WAY more than I expected when I hook into the biggest fish of my entire life on light salmon gear. Watch as I do battle for over 2 hours with the largest freshwater fish on the continent.
After the catch, one of us flips our kayak into the frigid waters of the Columbia.
Comment below and tell me about the biggest fish you've ever caught, or ask me any questions you have! I reply to every comment on my channel.
Watch to the end for a preview of episode 10!
Get the Lamiglas salmon rod I was using in this video, those things are INDESTRUCTIBLE: bit.ly/RJF_Lami...
Thanks to Justin Wesson for inviting me out and sticking with me throughout the fight. Follow him on Instagram @JUSTINS_REEL_REPAIR
Also thanks to Sixes River Rods for a BEAUTIFUL salmon rod they gifted me to congratulate me on my catch. Follow them on Instagram @SIXES_RIVER_RODS

Field Trips with Robert Field
/ yakfishfield
It's obvious, you are living the life God intended for you. Amazing how you catch these fish that you are targeting. I remember the rooster fish episode, that was amazing how you caught that fish and now this giant sturgeon. Love watching your videos. I'm learning a lot about video production too! Thanks!
+Rad Reeling Fishing thanks for the kind words man. It has been a whirlwind of a trip and God has definitely been helping me along. Glad you're enjoying the series!
Well done Robert !! this is one of the most complete and beautiful video of kayak fishing i see in all my life !! big fish, big fight, and a capsize in the end...Luckily, no one got hurt !!!my congratultions for your videos !!! every time a different adventure !!!
+Giorgio Nouche thank you Giorgio! Glad you liked the video and thanks for watching!
That was awesome. When I saw that hookset the smile drained from my face as I thought there was no way in heck you were ever going to touch that fish. I couldn't stop thinking about your paddle fish video and how hard it was to keep them hooked. Great job on finessing that huge fish in with that light tackle. Well, light for a monster sturgeon.
+Mathew Davis - Adventures and DIY haha I wasn’t sure I’d ever get my hands on her either. Couldn’t believe it. She was definitely a fish I’ll never forget!
I remember watching this live. What a day. Once in a life time event for sure. Great job getting that beast up.
Couldn't believe it man, luck was definitely on my side, especially with how that hook was in her. Literally hanging on by a thread.
Headwaters Kayak i
By far the best kayak fishing videos around, and this was one of your best. Thanks for taking us along on your adventure across America, you're inspiring a lot of us to get out there and find new species.... gotta go catch me a dinosaur now.
+Robert Jones glad you're enjoying the series man! I love the struggle of going for something new, because it's that much more rewarding when you find success. This was one I'll never forget. Get out there and get one bro! If I can do it, anyone can
I was number 666 when I thumped up holly crap! Rob catching this monster with a hook barely on the skin under the mouth is one in a million chance! This catch is definitely to be remembered, well done keep it up bro cheers.
Haha yea man luck was definitely on my side. Couldn't believe it. Thanks man!
That was insane man! I've been waiting for this video. I enjoy watching your videos, they have definitely have given me some more knowledge of what's around the West coast in places I wanna fish whenever I'm out there
Glad you're enjoying em man. It's a hell of a coast and I'll definitely be going back.
No words for that epic, lol. It was a good thing you all were within reach of Scott; the loss of heat can be quick in the water. Nice recovery.
+Patrick Connors yeah man I was worried about him but he was a good sport. He even appears in next week's episode and we have another mishap lol
My new favorite video from you Robert, just awesome. I've had some epic surprises like this when out kayak fishing. I love going out catching musky, pike, catfish, bass from my kayak. But a sturgeon from my kayak would be one of my top 3 bucket list species. Can't wait for the next episode, keep up the awesome work Robert :)
Awesome man, glad you liked it! Definitely had Lady Luck on my side to get that fish up on such light gear, but I'll take it! Musky is on my list for sure.
Wow. Catch of a life time man. I didn't even believe that those salmon eggs will hold on to the line. It's amazing what is possible in fishing. I think it is your best catch
+Umair Ahmed yeah very cool, they're sticky so they can stick to each other and the line
If this doesn't get a million views, I don't know what would! Very very impressive!!
Haha thanks buddy. I don't worry about the numbers too much, but we'll see.
Most magnificent catch I’ve ever seen. It’s good to see the recovery of a flip over and what to do.
+LAD Emailme glad you found it helpful man! Always practice flipping back over in calm, warm water. That way you'll know what to do in a situation where it's not a good time to figure it out for the first time
Sure beats those gopher rockfish😂
+Slimiefish haha slightly different fight
@@YakFishField 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Continue lessons
That was a spooky ass video man.....just paddling out seeing that cloudy water and those kelp stalks knowing that there’ were submarines🦈 cruising around just below your kayak. You gotta pair haus....enjoy all your videos👍🏻
Awesome Robert. Loved watching every second. I'll bet that there are less than 1 percent of the fisherman in the world that could bring in a fish that hat big with the gear that you had....and had the stamina to bring it in. Great job.
+LarryB luck was definitely on my side that day man, but I'll take it! Thanks for the kind words and glad you enjoyed the vid!
I have wanted to chase sturgeon for years. Check that off your bucket list proudly my man! Well done!
Couldn't believe it man. Funny how sometimes these things happen when you least expect it.
Every time one of your videos is posted, I want to jump to the end because it's always so suspenseful. I love them man!
Haha thanks dude, glad you're digging the series.
Hi ! I'm a french Kayak fisher and I just want to say to you that your fishing trip is amazing !
I love your channel ! Don't stop making us dreaming !
Thumb up !!!
+Antoine Vril thank you Antoine! I have to go to France sometime to fish. You have Wels catfish there?
Yes sir ! We call them "silure". We also have big meagre. Check it on google : "Big meagre"
You're welcome in France !
Have a blast Robert :-)
I've caught Sturgeon there too. So much fun. Way to go keeping your cool and making it happen.
My heart was pumping with you.
Congrats on an epic catch and battle.
+Ding Dong Ditch such a crazy species man. Thanks!
Awesome video man! That clip of the sturgeon breaching is one of the coolest clips I've ever seen! Can't wait for the next one!
+Kayaking_Kennedy it was nuts dude, was stoked that I actually got it on camera.
1 of the best fishing vids I’ve seen. That was a genuine reaction. Bro got a dinosaur!
Thanks man! She was a fish I’ll never forget
I literally got goose bump from that fish jumping
+Dylan Clay haha me too man, me too.
this makes me happy! amazing pulling up something you never expected! especially when you've thought you've hooked bottom and it moves!
Nice dino. Glad your boy is okay after taking that dip into the water.
Yeah man, no worse for the wear. In fact, you'll see him again next episode as he tries for redemption.
That fish was huge Robert, I can't imagine fighting that big of a fish for that long on a kayak. Anther amazing video Robert, keep up the great work!!!
Yeah man, totally nuts. It was a grind but worth it in the end! Thanks again for following along with the series bro, it means a lot.
What a catch! that was a big fish, Great Job. I'm surprised the kayak help up. Since you caught it from a kayak it makes it that much more AWSOME
Thanks dude! It was an incredible experience for sure. Got lucky, but hey, I'll take it.
Dude that was epic fishing. Sorry for your friend taking a cold water bath. love the video. Can't wait till the next one.
+James Queen thanks James! He was no worse for the wear and he even appears in next week's episode for redemption! But we have another mishap... haha
Robert Field can’t wait to see it. This is amazing video series
Absolutely amazing, that is the best fishing episode I've watched in a long time. Nice Catch Bro👍👍👍
Thanks Christoph! She was a fish I’ll never forget.
Robert needs to make a shirt that says"He took my fish grips"🎣😂👊
Hahaha
That must be an amazing feeling to catch something like that. Love this series, keep em coming
It was one I'll never forget brother. Luck was on my side that day, but I'll take it. Thanks man!
Dude I can't even imagine hooking into something that big in my kayak
Haha I was obviously not keeping my cool in the beginning. Couldn't believe it. It was one of the cooler experiences of my fishing career so far for sure.
That first jump was soo insane. Awesome catch man.
Yeah dude, as you can tell from my reaction, I couldn’t believe it. Haha thanks Zach!
Sweet video man! Great adventure!
+Yak Motley yes it was man. Thanks!
Back in the 70's my Dad and I were catfishing on the Sacramento river by ReoVista when I watched a guy in an 18 foot Bow Ryder hook a Sturgeon that was better than half the size of his boat.
He pulled his anchor and let the fish toe that boat 2 to 3 hundred yards down river only to turn around and toe him back against the current.....
But that telephone pole with fins kept going another 300 yards up stream, only to turn again and toe him back down river again❗😎❗
That fish made 4 full laps of that track of about 600 yards of river with an out going tide for over 2 and a half hours.....
He didn't even try to get the fish into the boat....
He just ran his anchor line through it's mouth and tied it off to a front cleat and tied the tail to the back cleat like Spencer Tracy in the "Old Man and the Sea" and I kid you not that fish was better than 1/2 the length of his boat, 10 or 12 feet long and a 12 to 18 inch girth❗😱❗
He was eating sturgeon steaks for a year, and not a bone in the fish❗😜👍
What a wild story! And what a fish!
Right on! I only caught a 6 footer! What an amazing opportunity! 👊🤙
That’s a monster in its own right!
Damn straight! 👊🤙🎣🌊
What a fish man!! That was a hell of a battle, can't even imagine what it felt like! Seriously a dinosaur!!!!
+Ryan Janousek it felt like trying to pull up a pickup truck in 1st gear haha.
That was wild man! Great video brutha!!
+SkinnyWaterBoyzTV Barela yes it was haha. Thanks bro!
Robert Field haha I can only imagine bro! I'll get one of those one day haha
Robert Field Trip ppppp
Dude that was BADASS! This is by far the most exciting fish I've seen caught from a kayak!
+rcagle123 it was nuts dude, definitely got lucky she didn't come off!
Robert Field Their skin must be really tough for the hook not to pull out. Great job, thought for sure he was going to bust off.
Wow!!! Got my vote for best video of the year brother!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 That was definitely EPIC!!! 🙌🙌❤️
Thanks Paul, glad you enjoyed it man! What a crazy experience.
Robert Field , Just nominated that video for video of the year! 🙌🙌
awesome catch robert...stay safe out there those waters are rough
+Adolfo thanks man!
Unbelievable, Robert what an epic catch that was
+Irish Seaduction Fishing I couldn't believe it either man, haha. It was a catch I'll never forget!
great video a person that has been kayak fishing for 40 years....fish on
Thanks Jim!
I just love this video, watched it 3 times. Must be the coolest fish ever landed from a kayak. Congratulations Robert!
+Alex Liebenberg haha thanks Alex, glad you enjoyed it! It was a crazy experience for sure.
GOOD LORD!! That fish was MASSIVE!
+Midwestfishingbros yeah dude, almost bit off more than I could chew haha
Educational, entertaining AND inspirational Rob. Thank you for sharing :)
+MagicYaker glad you enjoyed it bro!
Epic! That was worth the price of admission.
Haha glad you liked it Larry!
I love it man and I'm fishing my first tournament from the yak this weekend because you've influenced me so much! Love the channel
Awesome dude, good luck! Hope you wear 'em out!
That was awesome that is a dream fish I'm just amazed how it jumped out of the water and you caught it with the hook under its mouth best fish ever your the best
Yeah man I couldn’t believe it!
awesome fish!!! you are truly lucky to land that fish.once in a life time fish.
Absolutely man. I’ll never forget her
That was truly EPIC. So glad you got it on camera. Very glad your friend is okay.
+Kevin Fayard yep he's all good! He even joins us in next week's episode for revenge.
Nice channel mate..im not much of an angler myself, but I really love your stuff and the locations you pick to land your beasts. Keep it up!
+Anethicus thanks for the kind words bro! I try my hardest to make these entertaining for people of all walks of life and interests, so I’m glad to hear you’re still enjoying em.
Three things: (1) Congrats on the catch! (2) great testimonial to the sturdiness of the fish grips (3) They still make "Rocky Mtn Koolaid" (Coors)? (J/K)
Great video!
Hahaha the fish grips were not the ideal tool for the job, those Boca grips spin freely so when she started death-rolling, I might've been able to hold on. But at the end of the day I didn't want her to live her life with those grips in her, so I released them and let her go. What an amazing animal. Thanks for watching!
That was truly insane
Yes it was man, what a day.

Check this one out brother, I was fishing with my favorite guide on the Klammath River roughly five miles up from the mouth. What happened that day will always be burned Into brain. Boondoggling roe on a G.Loomis rod and ten pound line a fish bent me over to where the tip of the rod went under instantly, at that moment I'm thinking like forty plus pound king,not so. After a fifteen minute fight a Klammath River Green Sturgeon that was every bit of nine but it was most likely ten foot, these fish are so protected you can't touch them or can you bring there head,or any part for that matter out of the water. Good times and keep receiving!.
By far my favorite video your reaction was incredible bro I love your content love your videos keep doing what your doing man it would awesome if we could meet one day you got me into kayak fishing me and all my buddies watch your videos Keep it up man your awesome Robert
Thanks for the kind words Taylor. It was a moment I will never forget! Glad you’re enjoying the content bro, thanks for coming along for the journey.
He wasn't ready lol

Epic catch man ! After watching your videos you make me want to go kayak fishing haha !
Do it bro! It's a blast.
Amazing...That's not a fish, that's absolutely a Dinosaur !!!
Awesome video and an epic fish fight!!! Glad everyone was ok at the end of the day.
+Butler Fishing 707 it was an eventful day haha
Finally... Ive been waiting to see the fight with the sturgeon. Great job
+Robert Holton thanks Robert!
It is finally here! WOW! I didn't know you were going for salmon and you got this beauty! WTG!!! Send me Los Buzos check list bro ;)
Couldn't believe it man. Got lucky for sure. I'll send it over ASAP bro, been out of town for a month and playing catchup.
No problem. Well, the way you had the roe rigged is prefect for sturgeon, at least that s how I was taught.
2:30 the dog in the back has a better life than me
Hahaha same
What an awesome unexpected catch. Great video as well.
+Fishing the Yukon thanks man. Luck was on my side but I'll take it!
That jump was crazy!
+Frogliza yeah dude. Pretty sure I peed a little.
Awesome Rob beautiful fish 👍🎣👏👏
She was one I'll never forget!
Hey Robert! Cannot even begin to share how crazy that trip was and Columbia R baptizing hence... If you ever catch a larger fish somewhere else, ping us and we'll get you a bigger one!! Practice zipper discipline and thank you for helping save my carcass!
I love catching those big sturgeon
TOO much fun
That was awesome man. I’ve seen that on the intro to your videos. I was wondering if you were going to post the whole video.
+Squatch88 glad you liked it man!
Good thing you got your pal out of the water
Yep
Great job. That was awesome fishing.
+Christopher Cooper thanks Christopher, it was a fish I'll never forget!
Tipping over is my greatest fear something I'll conquer. Scary shit ! Thank god you guys where around. Question, do you have to register the kayak. ?
Usually only if you put a motor on it. Regulations vary by state though.
Robert Field can you do a giveaway on maybe some of your fishing poles because i really like your videos and maybe to have one of those fishing poles you have had would be awesome! I am only 13 but i really like fishing i watch your vids for tips and tricks or just for fun. Keep up the good work!
+Jakob Møllhausen I may be doing some giveaways in the future. Stay tuned...
OMG you replied! YES YES YES!!!!!!!
Sweet catch and video, Robert. I still an trying to get a stuegeon on the kayak too.
+xtasyboi those fish are nuts man! Next week's vid is on them to and we go over how we catch em. Check it out and hopefully it helps you get yours
That jump was awesome
+Coldblooded Gaming couldn’t believe it dude! My face says it all haha
That was the best fight and land of a fish I have ever seen everting went perfect nicely done
+Rusty Wells definitely had luck on my side bro, but I'm not complaining! It was a catch I'll never forget
Congrats dude! That's one of my dream fish your videos are the best!
Thanks Kody! It was one hell of a surprise haha. Glad you enjoyed it!
welcome to Oregon that is my favorite fish to catch Terry
Really cool species
Wow! WOW! WOW!!!!!
Very nice. What a surprise. I thought it was going to break your wrist. Thats the way it is.
One minute your having a great time and the next minute everything goes crazy. I hope he is O.K.
+Wayn Jul haha yeah man. He's no worse for the wear and he even appears next episode, but we have another mishap...
Field you are amazing man you've done it for the 1 millionth time this video was freaking amazing!!!
Haha what a crazy day man. You're up next bro! Ours is a fun one.
Robert Field 👊👊👊👊
Look at that, that was insaaaaneee 😁🤩😮
+Thomas Wassermann haha it was tho
Crazy patience with the lighter gear on that hook set. I'll stick to the jet boat wrestling with dinosaurs thank you. Awesome. Shame about the guy losing the gear rolling over but like you said it could always be worse. Video was worth the wait.
+Denver Deschenes thanks Denver, I'm glad you enjoyed the vid! It was a catch I'll never forget.
You know, the funny thing is that they get 20 feet. Sturgeon get to be around 200-300 years old, and the size of small whales! My great grandfather used to hook them on iron grappling hooks through rotten turkey roasts, and tied them to teams of horses to pull them in, since they got strong enough to pull a man in off the beach!
+Thomas Garman yeah man, crazy species. In tomorrow's VLOG I visit the Bonneville Fish Hatchery to learn more about them, salmon and trout. Pretty cool
Yeah! They are so big, they scared dive teams during dam construction! Softer flesh and more mild, but still buttery like a salmon.
Hanging out with my new friend. LOL
Hahaha felt like I had known her my whole life by the end of it...
That was crazy when it jumped out of the water
Totally
Rofl who didnt like that these vids are awsome plus most of the time he catchs and releases. Nothing here to hate on.
+Shawn Fowler haters gon hate! Thanks for the support bro
Battle of a friggin lifetime... amazing.
New sub man and I'm glad to see you caught one. I live in Oregon and my Uncle caught a 14 footer off the bank once. That was almost a 3 hour fight AND on the bank.
Time for you to come back and get a bigger one!
Those fish are crazy man. Still the biggest fish I’ve ever caught.
And caught on salmon eggs. Intestinal is churning here on my couch. Awesome video dude.
Thanks brother!
Should have done some bass fishing as well. Killer smallmouth out there’s!!!!
I heard that but didnt get the chance! I'll be back for sure.
Met the other robert at the humpy derby in tacoma, nicholas and i were trolling around alot together up here too. Good kid
+Eric Wojtach yeah man, great group of guys up there
Robert Field when’s the next episode?!
Amazing video bro!!! Great job with that beast Sturgeon!!! You handled your business!!!👍🏽👌🏽🦈
+BBsurfsIB 22 thanks man! She was a fish that I will never forget
Can't wait for you to come down to the Amazon .. Is the wolf-fish on your new species list ?
Absolutely man. Amazon would be a dream trip! One day...
Huge fan a it is awesome seeing you catch so many different and huge species.
Thanks dude! Luck was on my side this day for sure.
Dam man you said it best, that was insane. Glad your friend was alright.
All good in the end! He even appears next episode for redemption and we have another mishap.
Haha lookin foward to it. Might need to get that guy some hobie sidekicks.
Congrats Robert! Fish of Lifetime
+King Kong yes it was. Thanks!
Looked like a great group of guys. Great fishing, and I can't believe the size of that fish.. Holy crap.. You could have it stuffed and use it as a kayak or a paddle board. Great video Robert, thanks so much for sharing. What type of computer are you using, for all your editing?
+shawn mcmurray yeah dude, she was a heck of a fish and one I will never forget! There's a link to the PC I use in the description of every video, at the bottom
What an incredible catch! I had goosebumps!
Me too man. Meeeee too.
Amazing perseverance. Well done mate, well deserved
+Polly P thanks Polly, it was one hell of a battle! Will never forget that gal
Epic fish man...livin the dream!
