I caught my first Black Sea bass on the Oregon coast last week and it is now one of my favorite tasting fish. It was 3.8 lbs and about 21 inches long. I can’t wait to go back
Great fish, Nick!! I'll have to try that olive oil. Sutter Buttes Olive Oil Co. in Yuba City. I grew up near there, hunting ducks at the club my grandfather began in 1903.
Thank you, this was fun to do. Feels like it’s been a while since I’ve done a catch and cook. I was happy to have such a nice fish for this one. I’ve got a few videos coming out showing more setups I use. One of them will be out on Sunday. Thanks for watching
Thank you, I love when things work out... though my skillet did tip over and I had to start over lol.. the things you don’t see on video ;) Thanks for watching
I definitely can't stand Ginger, so that's a given haha. Love how big these fish can get! And I am also a leftie myself, so I have to used a lot of things like scissors upside-down haha.
That is a slab! I get stoked when I find them spearfishing. I'd be really stoked if I got them shorefishing! I like your style, not a bunch of goofy REI stuff. I use an old perkalator to steam shellfish. Great channel!
Ok, I'm heading to the Oregon coast this weekend. What is a good size to keep. A smallmouth this size, I have been told that they are good breeders so don't keep them. What is a good size range to keep?
I have come across a few decent fish over the years but otherwise it’s usually just the typical average size. This season has been very good to me so far and I’ve been lucky enough to have caught about 20 this size and a bit bigger. I’m sure I will never see a season like this again
Haha same here.. I have to drive 2-4hrs to fish the coast, depending on where I’m heading, but I am glad that it’s still doable. I’d hate to be just out of reach
I cant believe we have never crossed paths out at the coast. I'm down there a lot always keeping an eye out for the red Armada. Great Video, and dang nice fish!
Haha I always say “ I hope to see you on the water” but I never say “I hope you see me”... I usually try to move around a lot and stay out of sight. With how often I’m out and about, you ARE bound to run into me at some point though.. until then, good luck out there 🎣
Thank you, this was fun to do with such a big fish. I’m glad things worked out. Though I did dump my skillet and had to start over lol... which you don’t see on video
Hey man!! I stumbled across ya a couple weeks ago before I went to tillamook for some fishing. Thanks for your content and I’ll be back up there next weekend if ya need a fishing buddy for a day haha
Going to have to find those storm jigs ! That blue tint is key ! Those salt water gulp 3in work best that I’ve tried ! Thanks for ur videos ! I even pre tie leaders for using sand shrimp using ur more simple knot u showed ! So much faster then what I was doing ! U are much appreciated ! Love u man ! Going to have order some more of my favorite spinners before fall !
I have a video coming up that has links to all the baits that have been finding me hogs lately. Those gulp baits work great! Helps that they have been soaking in scent too. I’m glad to know the videos help! My stock has been getting wiped out so I need to get back into the shop so I can try to keep up.. good luck out there man 🎣
a lot of the time i do put scent on but really it's just because i smoke and i don't want that smell to keep fish from biting. Shrimp, Anchovy, Anise are the 3 that i usually have but i can't really recommend one over the other and i'm not sure if it actually helps, unless it is dark and you wan't some sort of scent for a fish to be able to follow what it can't see very well.. It's worth having and using, whether it actually helps or not.. can't hurt right?
That thing was a toad! I’ve had a couple where I could basically put my hand in their mouth and pull it out. I’ve been catching a lot that size on my recent trips. I ordered mine online. I have another vid coming out soon with links for all the baits I’ve been using lately to catch these hogs
So before you cook your fish do you check them over for worms?I hear a lot of different stuff about them.That you got to soak them to make the worms come out some people say to just cook the fish and it kills any parasites.Was just curious to your approach on it.
If it’s not something that I see pretty quick then I don’t worry about it, knowing that cooking it will kill anything. I really don’t like investigating my meat too much, it kills my appetite lol.
I very rarely descale my black rockfish, I just take the skin off after I fillet them. Most of the time I fillet them without having to gut them. I’m all for less work, just another reason I don’t like putting in the effort to descale.... but, if I were to descale it I would do it first. You don’t want that scaly mess all up in your meat
Most definitely!! The power of the ocean should never be underestimated. I’m always paying attention to the waves since they, at times, coincide with when I’m typically getting bites. There are always one or two that are WAY bigger than all the rest. I always have a quick escape route but the ocean will do whatever it wants. All I can do is balance caution with carelessness and hope the risk pays off.
I’d love to share but with the mass amounts of people out fishing these days my lips are sealed. I’ve been moving around a lot lately.... you may be on to something though
Thank you, I thought I was getting the MH but I just got the M.. The 12ft is a lot of rod and flipping fish took some getting used to but that rod seems to hold up pretty well.. now I’m curious if the MH would be even better
@@AnglingAddictsPNW I was wondering the same, stuck between the 10 or 12 ft now, but I’m leaning towards the MH as far as power. Seems to have pretty good sensitivity despite the length
That's a fat rockfish...also, fishing by the coast in Crescent City was slow. No real bites at the jetty....so crabbing was the main thing. Keep up the good work!
I was pretty stoked to get such a nice fish on for this video! I always say that the one constant in coastal fishing is the inconsistency. Gotta take the good days with the bad and just keep at it. Thanks for watching
Yes…. The limit on sea bass is 5 (no size limit) and you can keep 2 lingcod which have to be at least 22” long There is more info on the Odfw website and it helps to either pickup or download the regs. myodfw.com
Hey man, I watch all your videos and I must say they are top quality and very useful. I'm from Lincoln City and I've been trying rock fishing out a bit south of Lincoln . Do you ever go around there?
Thank you, I appreciate the support. That whole area around Lincoln city and south is decent fishing at times. I fish everything from barview to Winchester.
@@AnglingAddictsPNW you are talking about the cliffs right and not the beach access? I seem to get all mine from the cliffs during low tide as well, really appreciate the feedback.
Man, I would love to go fishing with this guy. He knows what he’s doing.
I'm re-binging your videos and this is one of my favorites.
I caught my first Black Sea bass on the Oregon coast last week and it is now one of my favorite tasting fish. It was 3.8 lbs and about 21 inches long. I can’t wait to go back

Thank you! I’m glad this worked out. I was pretty happy to find another nice fish out there
Great job Nick!! Thanks for showing your setup.

Thank you, I love when things work out... though my skillet did tip over and I had to start over lol.. the things you don’t see on video ;)
Thanks for watching
Good video. Ha, yeah, I love that color of bait. I use similar color on my boat jigging lead jigs too.
Ginger, Lemon, Soy Sauce. Always a great flavor combo. Especially on an outstanding fish like that.
nice video. good tips
Missing the trout ,salmon ,steelhead vids , but still love these vids !
I will definitely be getting more of those videos out soon! Thanks for watching
@@AnglingAddictsPNWno fishing for salmon in California 😢
No way! His ocean videos are so much better
Your killing it in the ocean bro keep it up .
Thank you! I feel like I’ve been doing pretty well.. I’m sitting on my best videos but there is some insane content coming with a LOT of BIG fish!
@@AnglingAddictsPNW hell yeah can’t wait .
I definitely can't stand Ginger, so that's a given haha. Love how big these fish can get! And I am also a leftie myself, so I have to used a lot of things like scissors upside-down haha.
Nice job! I love fishing BlackRock fish down there. Just nailed some nice coho on one of your spinners, thanks!
Beautiful bass, Nick! Good job! Delicious meal!
Thank you, that was delicious. I was pretty stoked to have found such a nice fish for this video

Awesome catch 👌 Nice rod and reel 👍, luv that cast iron cookin.
Thank you, I’m still getting used to such a long rod but that thing has been super handy to have. I love that extra reach! Cast iron is the way to go
@@AnglingAddictsPNW Ur welcome. Cast irons are the best, makes the food taste even better, & they last forever.
Great video Nick, keep up the good work
Amazing fish brother! 🐟
Ok, I'm heading to the Oregon coast this weekend. What is a good size to keep. A smallmouth this size, I have been told that they are good breeders so don't keep them. What is a good size range to keep?
Loved the video! Awesome fish! And now I’m really hungry 🤨
Thank you, I love finding those unicorns lol! I’d have to say that fish was the most delicious... even better than the smaller ones
Awesome Nick!!! Great catch of fish too!!!
Holy Fish. That’s a big boy.
I have come across a few decent fish over the years but otherwise it’s usually just the typical average size. This season has been very good to me so far and I’ve been lucky enough to have caught about 20 this size and a bit bigger. I’m sure I will never see a season like this again
Ginger powder 👀 I see you!!!! Add some brown Sugar with your recipe, I promise you’ll love it ;)
Oh man, brown sugar sounds delicious with it. I will definitely try that.
Awesome job ! Great video Nick.
MONSTER! I want to get black rock sea bass so bad but tried fishing on the jetty once out in garibaldi and snagged way too much so I gave up lol
This one is my favorite so far! Great job!!
Thank you! There is some good stuff lined up.. I’ve been busy ;)
great job, makes me wish i had those fish a little closer to me
Haha same here.. I have to drive 2-4hrs to fish the coast, depending on where I’m heading, but I am glad that it’s still doable. I’d hate to be just out of reach
Super video OK

Awesome video Nike!!
Thank you!
do you find many worm parasites in those bigger fish?
Hey man!! I stumbled across ya a couple weeks ago before I went to tillamook for some fishing. Thanks for your content and I’ll be back up there next weekend if ya need a fishing buddy for a day haha
Another good one Nick. What a monster black bass!. Rockfish and lingcod just opened where I'm at so I'm stoked to get back out there and try my luck!
Thank you, I was stoked to find such a nice fish! Good luck this season 🎣🎣

Your videos are great ! My favorite TH-cam channel for sure ! Your much appreciated !
hi Nick , did you have to walk very far on that jetty ? i have the bad knee can walk too far on those rock.
super love the video！
Awesome
I have that same rod. Love it. Works great for jetty and surf.
I have been enjoying it! It’s a bit more rod than I’m used to but I love that extra reach and is nice for both types of fishing.... and affordable!
What line rate? And Oz? 3 OR 4
I caught a copper rockfish today just the same size hell yeah dude
That’s a studly copper! Hell ya man
I’ve only ever made them into tacos. I’ll have to mix it up though. Definitely one of my favorites fish to eat around here.
I almost forgot how delicious they were.. definitely gotta mix it up considering they can be cooked so many different ways
Good fhiserman..
Great Job Nick, Do you ever fish down at Ocean Shores?
do you put sent on your swimbait? can you recommend one
a lot of the time i do put scent on but really it's just because i smoke and i don't want that smell to keep fish from biting.

Nice I got that same scale and it last me a few years now
Yum!!
Are you fishing the ocean or the bay?
Awesome!!!
Thank you!
Do you mention where your are fishing are do you keep that info secret? We enjoy watching just wish we knew the area you’re hitting. :)
What a MONSTER rockfish! And he really choked that swimbait! lol Where did you buy those btw? They look killer.
That thing was a toad! I’ve had a couple where I could basically put my hand in their mouth and pull it out. I’ve been catching a lot that size on my recent trips. I ordered mine online. I have another vid coming out soon with links for all the baits I’ve been using lately to catch these hogs

Will this work on Columbia River South Jetty?
From what I’ve heard, the South jetty is closed.. I’m sure this will work ANYWHERE where there are predatory fish.
Do you ever get scared being that close to the edge of the rocks? Awesome fish

@@AnglingAddictsPNW I'm glad to hear that. Cause I have to admit my belly was doing flip-flops lol
Try to catch one on a slabzone swimbait
what are the odds .. i was jokingly gonna say gimme a bite and sure enough, you offered ahaha
Haha, I was so close to not doing that
Nice fish... same spot you caught that other big on 'the last cast' and your camera was off.
I’d love to share but with the mass amounts of people out fishing these days my lips are sealed. I’ve been moving around a lot lately.... you may be on to something though
Nice catch man but ya those Little Rock fish will mess you up
Haha I’m done with my thumbs getting torn up. I could only imagine what those bigger fish would do
Another awesome video. Do you have the MH rod or the M?
Thank you, I thought I was getting the MH but I just got the M.. The 12ft is a lot of rod and flipping fish took some getting used to but that rod seems to hold up pretty well.. now I’m curious if the MH would be even better

Sounds good! One of these days 🎣🎣🎣
Hell yea brother that’s a nice fatty. Good eater. Looked super tasty!
Is there size and quantity limits on seabass and lingcod?
Yes…. The limit on sea bass is 5 (no size limit) and you can keep 2 lingcod which have to be at least 22” long

eating it right
Thanks bro
😀👍
guessing 4 1/2 to 5lbs based off of length...

@@AnglingAddictsPNW you ever fish Boiler?
@@jjm2664 I do.. it has its times.. best at low tide when you can actually go out pretty far into better fishing waters
Or even at the drop off at the pull off.. high-low rig is best there considering the height
@@AnglingAddictsPNW you are talking about the cliffs right and not the beach access? I seem to get all mine from the cliffs during low tide as well, really appreciate the feedback.
Potentially the world’s worst survival video while also managing to be exactly the video you meant to make.
Haha well said
